Animal Reproduction and Genetics
From conventional to organic animal production systems, animal breeding is crucial to their development. Farmers, consumers, and the environment can all gain from increasing animal qualities that have the potential to benefit entire populations. The biological process by which animals bear children is called animal reproduction. It includes passing genetic information from one generation to the next and is essential for the survival of a species.
