The book concerns genetic resources in three different species of farm animals. In each species, civilization and domestication, breed classification and distribution, breed differences in adaptation and productivity, breed evaluation and utilization, new breed development, breed identification, breeding programmes, gene identification, international exchange of breeding stocks, and conservation of genetic resources are discussed. In addition, the social aspects sheep-breeding are discussed, and in sheep and goats the evolution of fibres and skins as well as milk production.
