Zusammenfassung:	This dictionary covers cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, asses and buffalo. It includes all names which have been applied to interbreeding groups of these species whether they are called breeds, sub-breeds, types, varieties, strains or lines. The region or country of origin of each group is given and this is followed by a very brief description of the 'breed' in terms of products, colour, and major morphological features. There is a note on the history of the breed and the dates of formation of breed societies and herdbooks. Synonyms for its name are listed as well as the present conservation status. Overall the book continues to represent a standard reference work for all concerned with domestic livestock, particularly those involved in animal breeding and genetics.
