This text is one of four books providing a general view of the literature dealing with the different ways in which reproduction in the major farm animals can be controlled and manipulated. It is effectively an expanded and new edition of a previous work, "Controlled Breeding in Farm Animals" (Pergamon Press, 1983). Buffalo, goats, deer and camelids have also been added to the species covered in the series. This book concerns cattle and buffaloes.
