Livestock Epigenetics

 Livestock Epigenetics and Genetics

Livestock Epigenetics, edited by Hasan Khatib, explores the molecular mechanisms that influence gene expression and important production traits in livestock. It examines how epigenetics contributes to animal growth, development, reproduction, and breeding strategies. Featuring research from international experts, this book provides valuable insights into advancing livestock productivity and supporting sustainable animal production.
