Genetic and Reproductive Approaches for Sustainable Livestock Production

Genetic and Reproductive Approaches for Sustainable Livestock Production by Sukanta Mondal is a timely, practical guide for anyone invested in the future of animal agriculture. Grounded in science yet focused on real-world application, this book equips researchers, veterinarians, extension workers, policymakers, and progressive farmers with strategies to raise productivity while protecting biodiversity and animal welfare.

Start with clear explanations of modern genetic tools — from marker-assisted selection to genomic selection — and how they can be tailored to local breeding programs. The author then examines reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and cryopreservation, explaining how these methods boost genetic gain, improve herd health, and enhance resilience to climate stressors. Case studies and regionally relevant examples make complex concepts accessible for both developed and developing contexts, including India, South Asia, Africa, and tropical regions.

Readers will discover practical frameworks for designing sustainable breeding programs, conserving indigenous breeds, and aligning productivity goals with environmental stewardship. Emphasis on cost-effectiveness and scalability ensures the book is useful for smallholder systems as well as commercial operations.

Whether you’re improving feed efficiency, adapting livestock to changing climates, or building national breeding policies, this volume is an essential resource. Clear, actionable, and forward-looking, it bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and on-the-ground practice.
