Animal Breeding Thomas Shaw

This volume contains a detailed treatise on animal breeding, with information on the fundamental laws and principles, selection, diseases, nutrition, and much more besides. This volume contains an almost encyclopedic amount of information on breeding, and will be of considerable value to farmers and serious animal-breeders. Although old, much of the information contained herein is timeless, and will still be of much use to modern readers with an interest in the subject. The chapters of this volume include: 'Breeding Live Stock'; 'A Standard of Excellence'; 'The Law that Like Produces Like'; 'The Law on Principle of Variation'; 'The Law of Atavism'; 'Heredity of Normal'; 'Abnormal, and Acquired Characters'; 'Heredity of Diseases'; 'The Law of Correlation'... etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on farming.
