"Veterinary Genetics and Reproductive Physiology" is the first textbook on this subject aimed specifically at veterinary nurses. Written by an experienced lecturer, this book expands on the basic facts to present a clear and comprehensive overview of genetics and reproductive physiology in veterinary nursing. It covers the needs of the curriculum, addressing a range of subjects from genetic material through to breeding and the physiological aspects of reproduction in different species. The author writes in a clear, user-friendly style making this book accessible to students with no prior knowledge of the subject. However, the level of depth and coverage makes it equally relevant and useful to the more advanced degree level student. Core theory is looked at from a practical perspective as the author demonstrates how a deeper understanding of the principles of genetics aids the practicalities of animal breeding. Careful structure and layout help the reader to navigate the text, with important information highlighted in boxes. Bullet points are used to summarise key points.
Useful appendices include information on the genetics behind coat colour, miscellaneous genetic abnormalities found in various species and questions and answers for self-testing. "Veterinary Genetics and Reproductive Physiology" is an essential text for any veterinary nursing student studying on the S/NVQ, Degree or Diploma course as well as an excellent resource for any person with an interest in animal breeding
