Made to Order Toronto : University of Toronto Press,c2022 9781487541606 Animal Breeding Practices and Methods from Roman Times to 1900 -- Mendelism, Quantitative Genetics, and Animal Breeding, 1900-2000 -- Animal Breeding in the Age of Molecular Genetics, Genomics, and Epigenetics, 1990-2020 -- Specialization for Purpose and Animal Breeding -- Implications of Breeding for Colour -- Breeding for Authenticity -- Pedigree versus No Pedigree and the Market Value of Animals -- The Effects of Pedigrees on International Trade."Animal breeding has been complicated by persisting factors across species, cultures, geography, and time. In Made to Order, Margaret E. Derry explains these factors and other breeding concerns in relation to both animals and society in North America and Europe over the past three centuries. Made to Order addresses how breeding methodology evolved, what characterized the aims of breeding, and the way structures were put in place to regulate the occupation. Illustrated by case studies on important farm animals and companion species, the book presents a synthetic overview of livestock breeding as a whole. It gives considerable emphasis to genetics and animal breeding in the post-1960 period, the relationship between environmental and improvement breeding, and regulation of breeding as seen through pedigrees. In doing so, Made to Order shows how studying the ancient human practice of animal breeding can illuminate the ways in which human thinking, theorizing, and evolving characterize our interactions with all-natural processes."--Provided by publisher.Human-animal relationshipsHistoryLivestockBreedingHistoryTechnology & Engineering / Agriculture / Animal HusbandrybisacshHistory.Electronic books. agriculture.animal agriculture.animal disease.breeding science.cows.culture of breeding.domestic animals.farming.genomics.history of breeding.livestock.molecular genetics.pedigree.veterinary medicine.Human-animal relationshipsHistory.LivestockBreedingHistory.Technology & Engineering / Agriculture / Animal Husbandry.636.08/209cci1icclaccDerry Margaret E1740558MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910861976303321Made to Order4166274UNINA
