Main Description
Understanding animal andrology is fundamental to optimising genetic breeding traits in domestic and wild animals. This book provides extensive coverage of male reproductive biology, discussing the essentials of sperm production, harvest and preservation before covering the applications to a range of animals including cattle, horses, pigs, small ruminants, camelids, cats and dogs, poultry and exotic species. It also examines the laboratory procedures that provide the basis of general fertility research.

`This is a multi-authored book with chapters from expert reproductive biologists and veterinarians from all around the globe...edited by Steven Lorton, a renowned reproduction biologist, and Peter Chenoweth, who was `Theriogenologist of the Year` in 2013`.
`The book is well laid out and makes good use of tables and illustrations. It fulfils the objectives of the editors to produce a text that presents the `tsunami of knowledge` that has accrued in the field of animal andrology over the past 60 years, facilitating the flow of this knowledge to potential end users`
`In my view, this well-referenced book should be in the library of all reproduction scientists, especially theriogenologists`.
