About the Book

As greater emphasis is placed not only on efficiency and yield, but also health and welfare, in animal production, knowledge of the influence of hormones in animal growth and development is essential. As well as giving a thorough grounding in the subject, this textbook explains the techniques and effects of hormone manipulation and applies it to poultry, fish, horses, cattle, pigs and sheep.

About the Author :
Professor E. James Squires is Chair of the Department of Animal Biosciences at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. His broad research interests are in metabolism and functional genomics to improve the health and productivity of livestock, and to develop animal models for human metabolism, health and nutrition. His work is a combination of basic and applied studies. He has published almost 150 papers in referred journals, and authored a textbook "Applied Animal Endocrinology", several book chapters and numerous abstracts and technical publications for industry audiences.

Review :
"This book contains much valuable information on a lot of different aspects related to farm animal endocrinology in general and, specifically, on many different types of manipulations of the endocrine system... A lot of good illustrations make the book useful as a handbook to look-up chemical formulas, metabolic pathways and overview charts of the mechanisms of action of different hormones.... People working with (agricultural) politics, as food authorities, or in consumer organizations will also benefit from reading this book. Since both advantages and disadvantages are described it gives them a good scientifically-based background on which to base their decision to be either for or against a given animal manipulating technology."--EAAP News
