Migration and Admixture of Sheep in Africa. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 72
Origin and migration of livestock is important for
the development of breeding programs that guarantee
food security. Good breeding practice requires
knowledge of the history and genetic qualities of
the breeding stock. In this book the author traces
the male lineages of the African domestic sheep and
outlines the male sheep contribution to the
development of current sheep breeds. The book
begins with an overview of the origin and movement
of sheep. It then describes current Molecular
technologies used in Population genetics. It then
presents the Y chromosome evidence that displays
genetic admixture and certain migration patterns.
This book provides a good practical and analytical
guide on Molecular genetics. Students, individuals
and Organisations interested in history, breeding,
molecular diversity and conservation will find it
resourceful.
