The Superiority Of Line Breeding Over Narrow Breeding (1909) - Orator Fuller Cook - Bog

""The Superiority of Line Breeding Over Narrow Breeding"" is a book written by Orator Fuller Cook and first published in 1909. The book explores the practice of animal breeding, specifically the differences between line breeding and narrow breeding. Cook argues that line breeding, which involves breeding related animals to maintain desirable traits, is superior to narrow breeding, which involves breeding animals with very similar traits. Cook provides detailed explanations of the science behind breeding, including the principles of heredity and the effects of inbreeding. He also discusses the practical applications of line breeding, such as how it can be used to improve the quality of livestock and produce more consistent offspring. In addition to discussing the benefits of line breeding, Cook also addresses common criticisms of the practice. He argues that line breeding is not inherently harmful to animals, as long as it is done responsibly and with careful attention to genetic diversity. Overall, ""The Superiority of Line Breeding Over Narrow Breeding"" is a comprehensive guide to animal breeding that provides valuable insights for farmers, breeders, and anyone interested in the science of genetics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
