William Muir

William Muir was an American geneticist and biologist known for his research on animal breeding and genetics. He studied how traits and behaviors are inherited in animals, particularly focusing on domesticated stock like poultry. Muir aimed to improve agricultural productivity by understanding genetics, often experimenting with selective breeding. His work contributed to our knowledge of how genetics influence behavior and physical traits, helping to develop better breeding practices. Overall, William Muir's contributions advanced agricultural science by applying genetics to enhance livestock quality and productivity.
