Genetic Resources
M.L. Oldfield
US Department of the Interior 1984

No one reading this book will fail to gain an appreciation of how intimately human existence is intertwined with wild genetic resources.
In their natural communities wild plants and animals  make important contributions to our lives through processes which are the joint products of
constituent species.

Superior breeds have increased in numbers at the expense of others which are not competitive. A natural consequence of this process is a gradual decline in genetic variability within domestic animal populations. When judged on the current and predictable future needs, the loss of genetic variability is a matter of concern.

Animal Breeding
A.L. Hagedoorn Ph.D.
Crosby Lockwood & Son Ltd.
London 1946

The breeding and selection of animals is carried out by the farmer himself,
and not by a scientific specialist
as in plant breeding.

If the modern science of Genetics is to be of any help in improving the commercial qualities of our animals, its principles and methods of application must be made known to the farmer himself. This the present book sets out to do.

b/w photographs. 304 pages.
