Description
This comprehensive textbook bridges the critical gap between genetics and animal behavior, making it essential reading for veterinary students, animal scientists, and researchers across India. The book explores how genetic selection influences behavioral traits in cattle, horses, dogs, cats, poultry, and other domestic species—knowledge that’s increasingly vital for improving animal welfare and breeding programs. What sets this resource apart is its practical approach: rather than purely theoretical genetics, it examines real-world applications in livestock management, companion animal breeding, and behavioral problem-solving. The content draws from cutting-edge research in behavioral genetics, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, presented in an accessible format suitable for both graduate students and practicing professionals. For those working in India’s growing veterinary and animal husbandry sectors, this textbook offers internationally recognized insights that can be applied to local breeding programs, farm management, and conservation efforts. Whether you’re studying for competitive exams, conducting research, or working directly with animals, this authoritative reference provides the scientific foundation needed to understand the genetic basis of animal temperament, learning ability, and social behavior.
