Comparative Reproductive Biology is a comprehensive reference on the reproductive systems of domestic species.

Comparative Reproductive Biology offers both broad and specific knowledge in areas that have advanced the field in recent years, including cellular and molecular biology applied to reproduction.

Comparative Reproductive Biology features:

• Comprehensive reference of the reproductive systems of domestic species
• Written by a team of top researchers
• Richly illustrated throughout, including 12 pages of color images

Comparative Reproductive Biology includes topics in animal reproduction that are usually only found as part of other books in animal science such as anatomy, histology, physiology, radiology, ultrasonogrophy, and others.
