A number of advances have occurred recently in our knowledge of sheep and goat biology, production and health. The purpose of this book is to bring together a selection of these in the form of 12 specially-commissioned review chapters. Overall they cover most of the sub-disciplines in which research is taking place - physiology, nutrition, reproduction, breding and health. Contributors included are from the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand. The book should therefore be of interest to a wide range of research workers in animal production and veterinary science.

Artificial insemination and embryo transfer; nutrition - its effects on reproductive performance and its hormonal control in female sheep and goats; photoperiodic and nutritional influences on maternal and fetal endocrine mechanisms regulating fetal development during the second half of gestation; nutrition of the ewe during gestation and lactation; lentivirus diseases of sheep and goats - maedi-visna and caprine arthritis - encephalitis; scraple in sheep and goats; foraging strategy - from monoculture to mosaic; parasites, immunity and anthelmintic resistance; selection for lean meat production in sheep; growth hormone manipulation and growth promotants in sheep; fibre production from sheep and goats; the production of transgenic sheep for improved wool production.
