Paperback. Condition: New. This specially curated collection features four reviews of current and key research on heat stress in dairy cattle.The first chapter outlines technologies to breed for more heat tolerant dairy cattle, exploiting either between or within breed genetic variation in the trait. It discusses future perspectives on the use of different tools to achieve accelerated improvements of this important trait.The second chapter discusses breeding goals and multi-trait selection to balance production and non-production traits. It considers newer breeding objectives such as ensuring that cattle can adapt to a changing climate, including breeding for heat tolerance.The third chapter reviews challenges facing smallholder dairy farmers in Asia. These include the impact of high temperatures and humidity on milk yield, reproductive efficiency and animal health. The chapter places these challenges in the context of the broader economic constraints faced by smallholders and how they can be overcome.The final chapter highlights constraints in improving smallholder dairy production in Sub-Saharan Africa. Issues include developing breeds balancing yield with resilience to local climatic conditions. The chapter reviews ways of Improving breeding and productivity, as well as broader organisational support.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Fundamental to any livestock improvement programme by animal scientists, is the prediction of genetic merit in the offspring generation for desirable production traits such as increased growth rate, or superior meat, milk and wool production. Covering the foundational principles on the application of linear models for the prediction of genetic merit in livestock, this new edition is fully updated to incorporate recent advances in genomic prediction approaches, genomic models for multi-breed and crossbred performance, dominance and epistasis. It provides models for the analysis of main production traits as well as functional traits and includes numerous worked examples. For the first time, R codes for key examples in the textbook are provided online. The book covers: - The relationship between the genome and the phenotype. - BLUP models for various livestock data and structure. - Incorporation of related ancestral parents and metafounders in prediction models. - Models for survival analysis and social interaction. - Advancements in genomic prediction approaches and selection. - Genomic models for multi-breed and crossbred performance. - Models for non-additive genetic effects including dominance and epistasis. - Estimation of genetic parameters including Gibbs sampling approaches. - Computation methods for solving linear mixed model equations. Suitable for graduate and postgraduate students, researchers and lecturers of animal breeding, genetics and genomics, this established textbook provides a thorough grounding in both the basics and in new developments of linear models and animal genetics. Covering the fundamental principles of the application of linear models for the prediction of genetic merit in livestock, this new edition incorporates advances in methods of genomic prediction for pure and cross-bred animals. It provides models for the analysis of main production traits and functional traits, and includes numerous worked examples.
