Download or read book A Rare Breeds Album of American Livestock written by Carolyn Christman and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy breeds of livestock in America are rare. What would happen if these breeds of asses, cattle, goats, horses, pigs, and sheep were to become extinct? Agriculture will have lost the genetic resources necessary to adapt to changes in the environment and human needs. A link in the Earth's biodiversity will have been broken. And people in the future will be deprived of the flash of a Spanish Mustang in the misty morning, the rich pallette of colors in a flock of Navajo-Churro sheep, and the gentle lowing of a Cracker cow to her newborn calf. If rare breeds are lost, the animal kingdom and the human experience will be diminished forever. This book shows what is at stake -- the breed diversity that is our natural heritage and cultural inheritance. Learn how rare breeds are being protected and how you can become a part of this unique conservation effort.
Download or read book Practical Color Genetics for Livestock Breeders written by D. Phillip Sponenberg and published by 5m Books Ltd. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For animal breeders coat color genetics is one of the fundamental elements of breeding, along with health and conformation. Breeders need to know about coat color for showing purposes and where the fibre is used in industry, for example sheep and alpaca wool.Breeding for coat color is complicated because many dominant and recessive traits interact to produce the base coat color. Alleles for these occur in pairs, so that the phenotype, or visual appearance, does not always reflect the underlying genotype.Practical Color Genetics for Livestock Breeders is a guide for breeders on the biology behind coat color in large animals directing breeders on how to implement breeding strategies to achieve desired results.

Download or read book The Herds Shot Round the World written by Rebecca J. H. Woods and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Britain industrialized in the early nineteenth century, animal breeders faced the need to convert livestock into products while maintaining the distinctive character of their breeds. Thus they transformed cattle and sheep adapted to regional environments into bulky, quick-fattening beasts. Exploring the environmental and economic ramifications of imperial expansion on colonial environments and production practices, Rebecca J. H. Woods traces how global physiological and ecological diversity eroded under the technological, economic, and cultural system that grew up around the production of livestock by the British Empire. Attending to the relationship between type and place and what it means to call a particular breed of livestock "native," Woods highlights the inherent tension between consumer expectations in the metropole and the ecological reality at the periphery. Based on extensive archival work in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia, this study illuminates the connections between the biological consequences and the politics of imperialism. In tracing both the national origins and imperial expansion of British breeds, Woods uncovers the processes that laid the foundation for our livestock industry today.
