Genetics and the Behavior of Domestic Animals, Third Edition offers
the latest and most valuable information on animal science and
behavioral genetics, carrying on the book's legacy since its
original publication in 1998. This book synthesizes research from
behavioral genetics and animal and veterinary science, bridging the
gap between these fields. The objective is to show that principles
of behavioral genetics have practical applications to agricultural
and companion animals. The continuing domestication of animals is a
complex process whose myriad impacts on animal behavior are
commonly under-appreciated. Genetic factors play a significant role
in both species-specific behaviors and behavioral differences
exhibited by individuals in the same species. Leading authorities
explore the impact of increased intensities of selection on
domestic animal behavior. Rodents, cattle, pigs, sheep, horses,
herding and guard dogs, and poultry are all included in these
discussions of genetics and behavior, making this book useful to
veterinarians, livestock producers, laboratory animal researchers
and technicians, animal trainers and breeders, and any researcher
interested in animal behavior. Genetics and the Behavior of
Domestic Animals, Third Edition is the most valuable resource for
researchers and practitioners in animal and veterinary science,
animal behavior, genetics, ethology, and similar fields. Advanced
undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines will also
benefit from the global expertise featured in this newest edition.
