About this title

Synopsis

For introductory courses in General Animal Science, Pre Veterinary, Veterinary Technology, and Horse Science.

This text shows students that raising livestock is now a science more than husbandry. The text concentrates on a more applied approach to animal reproduction, genetics, nutrition, breeds, animal health and general management of livestock. (This first edition takes the format of The Science of Animal Husbandry by Blakely and Bade and adds modern science and husbandry).
