This comprehensive textbook provides livestock breeders, veterinarians, and animal scientists with the fundamental knowledge needed to understand, predict, and manipulate coat color inheritance patterns across multiple livestock species. Written with clarity and practical application in mind, this resource demystifies the molecular and Mendelian principles underlying color genetics while offering actionable guidance for breeding programs. The book systematically explores the genetic mechanisms controlling pigmentation in cattle, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, and other commercially important livestock species. Readers will gain insight into dominant and recessive color genes, epistatic interactions, dilution factors, and pattern genetics that determine the remarkable diversity of coat colors observed in domestic animals. Each chapter integrates classical genetics with modern molecular understanding, providing breeders with the tools to make informed decisions about color-based selection strategies. Beyond theoretical foundations, this text emphasizes practical breeding scenarios, including how to predict offspring colors from specific matings, avoid unwanted color-linked genetic defects, and utilize color genetics for breed identification and registration purposes. The book serves as an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to enhance their breeding program through scientific understanding of color inheritance, whether for commercial production, breed preservation, or exhibition purposes. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of color genetics across major livestock species including cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and swine • Detailed explanations of Mendelian inheritance patterns, gene interactions, and molecular mechanisms controlling coat color • Practical breeding charts and prediction tools for determining offspring color probabilities from various mating combinations • Discussion of color-linked genetic disorders and health considerations relevant to selective breeding programs • Species-specific chapters addressing unique color genetics characteristics and breed-specific color standards • Integration of classical genetics principles with contemporary molecular genetic discoveries • Real-world case studies and breeding scenarios illustrating practical application of genetic principles TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Livestock breeders and producers seeking to optimize breeding programs through genetic understanding • Veterinarians providing genetic counseling and breeding consultation services to livestock clients • Animal science students and researchers specializing in genetics, breeding, and livestock production • Breed association officials and registry personnel responsible for color-based breed standards • Agricultural extension specialists and consultants advising on livestock breeding strategies INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$340.00
