This book attempts to outline population genetics and quantitative
ge netics as they pertain to animal breeding and to discuss the
theoretical aspects of this field of agricultural activity.
Therefore, it brings into focus the basic principles of animal
breeding, which are illustrated with per tinent examples; however,
it is not intended to give recommendations for particular
situations. Since the first edition, considerable development has
occurred both in the basic and in the more applied fields. This has
modified and in some cases even changed previously held
conceptions, necessitating a thorough revision of the first
edition. The extent of work in this sphere has reached dimensions
which preclude exhaustive discussion of all its aspects in a volume
of this size. Nevertheless it is hoped that this introductory text
will stimulate the reader to explore the subject in greater depth
and inspire study of the original literature. It is further hoped
that my teaching experience has had some no ticeable impact on
style and presentation. lowe much to constructive critical comments
on the first edition. I am grateful to Dr. D. L. Frape for his help
in changing my own translation into readable English. M. Asbeck and
E. Fuchshuber have completed an admirable job in typing my
handwritten script and A. Pickal accomplished the careful drawing
of fresh illustrations."
