In a broad sense, "mating" in agronomy is understood not only as the reproduction process itself but also as a set of breeding activities aimed at the reproduction and genetic improvement of the productive qualities of livestock animals and poultry. For an agronomist and a livestock specialist, understanding the fundamentals of breeding work, crossbreeding methods, hybridization, and the correct formation of parent flocks is the foundation of an enterprise's economic efficiency. Strict adherence to management technologies and a thorough analysis of the patterns of inheritance of economically useful traits allow for a multiple increase in herd productivity and ensure the sustainability of the gene pool of the bred breeds.
This collection brings together expert materials on the organization of the breeding process in poultry farming, rabbit farming, and fur farming. Readers will find information here on evaluation techniques, strategies for maintaining breeding lines, and modern schemes for assembling parent flocks for various types of poultry. In addition, the collection presents articles that reveal the biological features of animal development, the principles of forming productive herds, and methods for controlling the heritability of traits. These materials will serve as a reliable guide for specialists planning the efficient breeding of livestock animals and the improvement of their selection characteristics.
