The book has been authored by 30 well experienced academia to match the syllabi in vogue prescribed by the Veterinary Council of India. In addition, we believe that it has also been useful to postgraduate students of Poultry Science and candidates appearing for JRF, SRF, ARS and NET examinations. Further, this book has also been prepared for the students of the Courses: Poultry Production & Business Management (PPBM), B. Tech, B.Sc Poultry Science and Poultry Science diploma. The title is quite comprehensive and includes updated information on topics dealt with. The unique feather of this book is that at the end of each chapter there is a Question Bank with Answer key so as to help the students for self testing and prepare for the examinations. This book also contains best quality photographs, figures and illustrations to reflect the course contents and explain the subject. We do hope that the book will be appropriate use for the students in particular and teachers, scientists and farmers in general.

Genomic Management of Animal Genetic Diversity

By

Vet eBooks

-

By Kor Oldenbroek

Genomic Management of Animal Genetic Diversity. Recently developed genomic tools, like SNP-genotyping and whole genome sequencing, and their analysis, offer great opportunities for the conservation and utilisation of animal genetic diversity, both among and within breeds. These genomic tools can be used to detect potentially valuable rare alleles and haplotypes. They are important parts of the genetic diversity we need to conserve now for possible utilisation in the future. This book describes the use of genomic technology to define breeds, to measure diversity and to assess important features in the history of breeds affecting the present genetic diversity. The management of genetic diversity with genomic tools is outlined both in vivo: small populations of rare breeds or large populations with small effective population sizes and in vitro: genebanks. Special attention is given to the genomic management of populations of animals with high incidences of genetic defects. This book is intended for MSc and PhD students, scientists working with small populations in animal breeding and in conservation programmes for rare breeds.

By Ranajit Kumar Ghosh

Essentials of Veterinary Histology and Embryology is being published considering the demand of the day particularly for the Under Graduate students in the field of Veterinary Science. The earlier book- “Essentials of Veterinary Embryology” written by the author in the year 2002 has been improved and merged with the freshly written text of Histology in this edition. The Histology portion has covered most of the basic tissues of various organ systems of the body along with sufficient illustration, diagrams and photomicrographs. Almost all the tissues which have been presented in the test were prepared by the author himself. Most of the photomicrographs have been printed with their original colors as appeared in stained slides.

The text has been written in easy and simple fonn and the diagrams of both Embryology and Histology portions have been colored to provide a user friendly appearance for studying this subject.

The information provided in this book although precise for Under Graduate education
but will surely be useful for Post Graduate students as well.

Livestock And Poultry Production Management and Planning

By

Vet eBooks

-

By Ramesh Nandan

Livestock And Poultry Production Management and Planning. Livestock play a vital role in the agricultural and rural economies of the developing world. Not only do they produce food directly, they also provide key inputs to crop agriculture. Most farms in the developing world are too small to justify owning or using a tractor, and the alternatives are animal power or human labour. The global livestock sector is rapidly changing in response to globalization and growing demand for animal-source foods, driven by population growth and increasing wealth in much of the developing world. The rapid rate of urbanization seen in many countries is not only linked to growing affluence but also gives rise to changes in people’s food preferences; usually tending towards greater convenience and higher standards of safety. As well as the many benefits and opportunities associated with rapid sector transformation and growth, they are also associated with social, environmental and public health risks. This comprehensive text covers all types of farm animals and provides detailed information on each species.
