Summary:

Effective male reproduction is essential not only for the survival of animal species but also for the propagation of animals used for production, performance or companionship. It underpins genetic progress as well as the future of endangered species. Understanding animal andrology is fundamental to advancing animal breeding in domestic and exotic species. Providing extensive coverage on the subject, this book first discusses the essentials of sperm production, harvest and preservation, before examining applications in a wide range of animals including cattle, horses, pigs, small ruminants, camelids, cats, dogs, poultry, water buffalo and exotics. This book will be of interest to animal scientists, clinical veterinarians, theriogenologists, advanced students, reproductive physiologists, laboratory personnel, and teachers of animal physiology.
