This book gives a good overall review of the advances that have recently occurred in the fields of poultry genetics and genomics… one thing that really struck me about this book was the calibre of the editorial team and the international range and expertise of the contributing authors. With over 550 pages this book is well worth its place on the bookshelf of anyone who is interested in poultry breeding and genomics.
