About this title

Synopsis

A practical guide to coat color genetics for livestock breeders, covering biology and breeding strategies.

For animal breeders, coat color genetics is fundamental. This guide directs breeders on the biology behind coat color in large animals, detailing how to implement breeding strategies to achieve desired results. It covers dominant and recessive traits and how they interact to produce base coat colors. Alleles occur in pairs, so the visual appearance does not always reflect the underlying genotype.
