This comprehensive reference work discusses pig genetics and its integration with livestock management and production technology to improve performance. Fully updated throughout to reflect advances in the subject, this new edition also includes new information on genetic aspects of domestication, colour variation, genomics and pig breeds, with contributions from international experts active in the field UR - https://doi.org/10.1079/9781845937560.0000 UR - https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/action/showBook?doi=10.1079%2F9781845937560.0000 ER -
