Animal Secondary Products investigates domestic animal exploitation and the animal
economy from the Palaeolithic to the Bronze and Iron Ages across Eurasia (Europe,
Near East, Siberia and China). Incorporating current zooarchaeological theory and
cutting-edge methodological developments, it critically assesses Andrew Sherratts
concept of a Secondary Products Revolution that proposed that a package of new
subsistence practices and technologies swept across much of Eurasia at the end of
the Neolithic, which triggered large-scale changes in economies and settlement across
the landscape. This model argues that these changes were associated with a genuine
shift from an emphasis upon domestic animals for their primary (meat hide, bone)
products to a more diversified exploitation pattern which included their secondary
(milk, wool, traction) products. Sherratts model attempted to conceptualise the
changes between the Neolithic and Bronze Age that dramatically transformed the
nature of animal exploitation strategies, cultivation practices, land management
strategies, nature of settlement, and political and economic organization in Europe and
the Near East that set the stage for the evolution of historic land use and animal
exploitation patterns. Though setting the parameters for debate within the discipline for
over 30 years, science has moved on and many kinds of new data, methods and
techniques have been proposed since then that allow greater insights into these
issues.

This book synthesizes research from behaviour genetics, animal science and veterinary
literature in order to bridge the gap between the fields of genetics and behavioural
research. The author's objective is to show that principles discovered by behavioural
geneticists have practical applications in agricultural and companion animals. The
continuing domestication of animals is a genetically complex process whose myriad
impacts on animal behaviour are underappreciated.
Genetic factors play a substantial role in both species-specific behaviours and differences
in behaviour between different individuals in the same species. Leading authorities
explore the impact that increased intensities of genetic selection have had on domestic
animal behaviour. Rodents, cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, herding, guard dogs, and poultry
are all included in these discussions of genetic influences.
* Includes four new chapters on dog and fox behavior, pig behavior, the effects of
domestication and horse behavior * Synthesizes research from behavioural genetics,
animal science, and veterinary literature * Broaches fields of behaviour genetics and
behavioural research * Includes practical applications of principles discovered by
behavioural genetics researchers * Covers many species ranging from pigs, dogs, foxes,
rodents, cattle, horses, and cats

Oocyte Physiology and Development in Domestic Animals reviews the most recent
advances in the research of physiological and biochemical mechanisms underlying
oocyte growth and development, providing readers with the fundamental
understanding of these key processes and summarizing this important field of
research. The book covers multiple molecular and physiological mechanisms including
initiation of oocyte growth during folliculogenesis and in vitro follicle culture to support
oocyte competence, that are critical to health and quality. Physiological process
ranging from gene expression to metabolism will be covered with an eye toward using
these factors to uncover biomarkers that will further advance the field.
In addition, the text looks at the effects of in vitro maturation environments on oocyte
quality and developmental outcome.
