This collection reviews the latest research on dairy cattle
genetics and advanced methods of genetic evaluation and selection.
After an overview of genetic improvements achieved so far, Part 1
assesses the problem of inbreeding and genetic diversity in modern
dairy cattle as well as opportunities for crossbreeding. Part 2
then goes onto review research on targeting non-production traits
such as fertility, feed conversion efficiency and methane emissions
as well as resistance to disease and resilience to heat stress.
Part 3 then surveys the latest techniques and advances in genomic
selection (GS) in such areas as functional annotation and use of
sequence variants to improve genomic prediction, as well as
developments in genetic evaluation (GE). The final part of the book
reviews developments in embryo technologies, gene editing and the
way new techniques are being integrated in practice into dairy
breeding programmes.
