Factors Affecting Calf Crop

Herausgeber: Fields, Michael J.; Sand, Robert S.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Over 25 leading animal scientists have combined their expertise to produce the first single source reference that covers successful reproductive techniques that will, most likely, be the wave of the future. Factors Affecting Calf Crop: Biotechnology of Reproduction provides a detailed compilation of technology for managing reproduction in cattle. Topics include an in-depth discussion on techniques currently approved for controlling the estrus cycle in cattle and new products under development and awaiting approval. It describes and discusses factors affecting bull fertility and information on embryo collection and utilization technology.
