ABOUT THE BOOK

Since The Beginning of Civilization the Role of Domestication of Animals Has Been to Produce Quality Food to Feed The Ever Growing Human Population. As the Production Directly Depends on Reproduction, Optimum Rate of Reproduction in Food Animals Assumes Significance. However, with the application of best animal husbandry practices including opt5imum feeding, breeding and management, the increase in the rate of reproduction that can be achieved, is bound by the physiological limits. to cross this limit, and to produce more and more, to keep pace with the ever-growing human population, the application of biotechnological tools in animal reproduction is the only solution. This attracted researchers and research grants to support animal reproduction research all over the world. The result is huge amount of information generated every day. The purpose of this book is to consolidate all this information and present it in a simple way for the benefit of the students, teachers and researchers in the field of animal biotechnology.

Looking to the importance, the 5th Deans, Committee of ICAR has introduced a new course on animal reproductive biotechnology at undergraduate level.  This book has been compiled to cover the entire requirement of syllabus. The book incorporates chapters written by eminent scientist working on different aspects of reproductive biotechnology of farm animals.
