Advances in Poultry Genetics and Genomics

• Particular focus on improving functional traits needed for more resilient poultry breeds
• Comprehensive coverage of key advances in genomic selection and their practical application in breeding improved breeds of layers and broilers
• Looks forward to emerging trends such as the use of epigenetics and genome editing

Summary

This collection begins by reviewing current challenges facing poultry breeding. It goes on to review recent research on the genetics of key production and functional traits. The book then summarises key advances in genomic selection techniques and concludes by surveying emerging trends such as the use of epigenetics and genome editing in poultry breeding.
