"The Principles of Breeding" by S. L. Goodale is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. The book focuses on the physiological laws involved in the reproduction and improvement of domestic animals, providing insights into how breeding practices can enhance agricultural productivity. Goodale aims to educate farmers and stock growers on selecting the right breeding practices to cultivate the most advantageous traits in livestock. At the start of the book, the author introduces the importance of breeding in agriculture, emphasizing the need for farmers to approach livestock management with a clear goal to optimize their returns. Goodale discusses the economic aspects of animal husbandry and the principles guiding the selection of breeding stock, underscoring that profitable farming requires a careful understanding of both genetic and environmental factors. He points out the limited amount of accessible literature on successful breeding practices and outlines his goal of providing a systematic treatise to fill this knowledge gap for farmers. Through this analytical framework, readers gain a foundation for understanding the complexities of animal breeding and its significant role in advancing agricultural practices.
