Animal Breeding - an introductory tutorial
|
|
Highlights
|
Computer assisted learning (CAL) tutorial in quantitative genetics by
Roden, J, Andersson-Eklund, L, Strandberg, E & Garnsworthy, P
(Version 2.1, 2001). The aim is to support student learning, not to
replace other methods of teaching. The tutorial includes the following
chapters:
- Inbreeding (of individuals and of
populations)
- Inheritance of quantitative traits
(additive genetic effects, breeding value, heritability)
- Selection (factors influencing genetic
improvement
- Multiple traits (correlated selection
response, multi-trait selection)
- Each chapter allows students to explore a
number of concepts, and ends with a series of self-assessment
questions. Interactive exercises using the software GENUP (Kinghorn, B)
are also included.

Animal Production Database (formerly BEASTCD)
|
|
Highlights
|
The Animal Production Database (formerly known as BEASTCD) is the most comprehensive source of information about animal breeding, animal nutrition, dairy science, and dairy technology. The database also covers economically valuable animals and laboratory species relevant to agriculture as well as such specialized areas as the breeding aspects of fur bearing and game animals.
Compiled by subject specialists at CABI Publishing, the Animal Production Database contains more than 700,000 abstracts and citations, with 25,000 records added annually. Containing over 30 years of research from over 75 countries it provides an ideal source for animal scientists, researchers in the agricultural life sciences and veterinary specialists requiring an international perspective on the wealth of information available on animal production.
The Animal Production Database is available on CD-ROM (updated quarterly) and on the Internet. It utilizes the popular SilverPlatter Information Retrieval System (SPIRS), providing the tools needed to obtain accurate and comprehensive search results.

Biometrics and Research Methods Teaching
Resource for sub-Saharan Africa
|
|
Highlights
|
ILRI has been developing, with the
cooperation of staff from the University of Nairobi and University of
Swaziland, an Electronic Biometrics & Research Methods Teaching
Resource for Agricultural and Biological Sciences. The Teaching
Resource is primarily aimed at teachers in sub-Saharan universities,
especially for teaching at the MSc level, and is built around six
teaching guides covering the topics of research strategy, study design,
data management, exploration & description, statistical
modelling and reporting. It brings the subject of applied biometrics
alive with the inclusion of various case studies from the Region that
interactively demonstrate real-life illustrations of the application of
statistical methods.

Livestock and Environment Toolbox
(LEAD)
|
|
Highlights
|
The aim of the toolbox is to provide practical aid on livestock and
environment issues in the decision making of policy-makers and planners
in developing countries. Three main categories of livestock production
systems are covered: Grazing, Mixed crop/livestock and Industrial. Each
category is further divided into sub-systems. The toolbox contains
information (text, photos, tables, maps) that enable the user to
