Poultry Breeding and Genetics

Poultry breeding utilizes genetic principles to accomplish the goals of poultry producers for meat or egg production. Transgenic technologies offer the promise of being able to address issues by creating new genetic variability, rather than being restricted to existing variation as with quantitative and genomics methods. This work deals with the transmission of individual characteristics of both parents to the offspring through the mechanism of heredity. This book will be beneficial for the students, teachers, researchers, farmers, and other professionals, who are interested to strengthen and expand their knowledge about chicken products in fields of poultry science, biotechnology, plant science, and agriculture.
