The present book is covered in 3 parts comprising 27 chapters. The first part covers "Mendelian or classical genetics" in 11 chapters dealing with introduction to genetics, sources of genetic variation, heredity and environment, Mendelism, Chromosomal theory of inheritance, Exceptions to Mendelism [Multiple alleles, gene expression (action) on phenotypic level, Linkage of genes and crossing over], Sex determination and sex controlled inheritance. The second part covers "Molecular genetics" in 14 chapters which includes genetics, genetic material (DNA) and its molecular structure, changes in its structure (mutation), and replication of DNA; Gene expression at molecular level (transcription and translation), Regulation of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, Gene manipulation techniques and applications. The last part covers "Genetic Statistics" which includes 2 chapters on the probability and Chi-square testing of discrete variable. This book on "Genetics" has been written to fulfill the hope and requirement of post-graduate students, teachers and of those intend to appear and pass the competitive examinations on All India basis like SRF, NET and ARS conducted by ASRB (ICAR), UGC and UPSC.

It was felt the need of the day to compile the entire subject matter related to sustainable animal breeding and production in a single volume to meet the requirement as per syllabus of Post Graduate programme of animal breeding taught in State Agricultural Universities in India. The entire subject matter of animal breeding in this book has been covered in 3 parts comprising 27 chapters. The first part of 8 chapters has been devoted to the domestication of animals, animal husbandry development and education in India, breed improvement programmes for different species in India, and contribution of livestock. The second part comprises 11 chapters covering the conventional animal breeding techniques based on the principles of population genetics. The last third part comprising 8 chapters of the book deals with the essentials of sustainable animal breeding and production covering the documentation and conservation of AnGR, strategies for breeding of different species of livestock and poultry, biotechniques in animal breeding, reproduction, nutrition, management and health care. Hope this book will be of immense use to the post graduate students, teachers and those appearing in different All India Competitive Examinations like NET, SRF, and ARS in Genetics and Animal Breeding conducted by ASRB (ICAR) as well as by UGC and UPSC.

The book entitled 'Genetics of Livestock Population' has been divided in 3 parts comprising 27 chapters. The first part of 13 chapters has been devoted to the genetic structure of population in equilibrium state for different genetic systems and the changes occurred under the influence of evolutionary forces, population size and mating systems for qualitative characters. The second part comprises 10 chapters covering the partitioning of phenotypic value, variance and covariance of quantitative characters in to different components attributed to additive and non-additive genetic effects. The last part of 4 chapters of the book deal with the biometrical techniques viz. univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis and path analysis. Hope this book will be of immense use to the post graduate students, teachers and those appearing in different All India Competitive Examinations like NET, SRF, and ARS conducted by ASRB (ICAR) as well as by UGC and UPSC. The subject matter has been presented in single volume in a more meaningful and desired manner and simple language with numerical examples.
