The Breeding of Animals is a comprehensive guide to animal husbandry, written by Frederick Blackman Mumford and originally published in 1917. The book covers a wide range of topics related to breeding, including the selection of breeding stock, the principles of inheritance and variation, and the application of breeding techniques to various types of animals, such as horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs.Mumford draws on his extensive experience as a breeder and judge of livestock to provide practical advice on all aspects of animal breeding. He discusses the importance of breeding for specific traits, such as size, strength, and temperament, and provides detailed instructions on how to achieve these goals through careful selection and breeding.The book also includes chapters on the physiology of reproduction, the care and management of breeding stock, and the use of artificial insemination and other modern breeding techniques. Throughout the text, Mumford emphasizes the importance of careful observation and record-keeping in successful animal breeding.With its clear, concise writing style and wealth of practical information, The Breeding of Animals remains an essential resource for anyone interested in animal husbandry and breeding. Despite its age, the book's insights and advice are still relevant today, making it a valuable addition to any farmer or animal breeder's library.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
