    "The present title "Biotechnology of Animal Culture" has been designed for undergraduate and post-graduate students of Indian universities. The book is intended to meet the needs of the shorter, less encyclopaedic course in introductory Biotechnology of Animal Culture. The book concentrates on the basic techniques easily applicable in the labs, omitting the encumbering details of many advanced and specialized methods. The focus is on the basic principles of this branch of Biotechnology and on explaining these fundamentals to students in as clear and concise a way as possible." (jacket)
