Though global food demand is ever-increasing, agricultural productivity is declining, largely due to the shrinking of resources like cultivable land. Under such circumstances, the role of the livestock sector to fulfill growing food demand is particularly important for food and nutritional security. Genetic and Reproductive Approaches for Sustainable Livestock Production details the roles of both established and emerging reproductive and genomic technologies in creating more sustainable livestock production. This book outlines variety of integrated strategies, covering traditional and modern omics approaches (structural, functional, comparative and epigenomics) and genomics-assisted breeding methods. These can be adopted and utilized to dissect and decode the gene regulatory networks involved in the quantitative yield and stress tolerance traits in livestock. Genetic and Reproductive Approaches for Sustainable Livestock Production is a particularly attractive resource for scientists, researchers, educators and professionals in livestock science, veterinary medicine, and food security. The work will allow professional readers to incorporate existing research into their practices and will prompt academics to build on existing research and make new discoveries.
