A genome-wide scan was performed to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to the gastrointestinal nematode Haemonchus contortus in a double backcross population of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep. The mapping population comprised six sire families, with 1026 lambs in total. The lambs we...

Trypanotolerance in N’Dama x Boran crosses under natural trypanosome challenge: Effect of test-year environment, gender, and breed composition
We review the global dynamics of livestock disease over the last two decades. Our imperfect ability to detect and report disease hinders assessment of trends, but we suggest that, although endemic diseases continue their historic decline in wealthy countries, poor countries experience static or d...

Genetic and expression analysis of cattle identifies candidate genes in pathways responding to Trypanosoma congolense infection
The impact of utilizing the genomic relationship matrix (G) computed based on breedwise allele frequencies or different scaling factors on the accuracy of genomic prediction in cross-bred dairy cattle in smallholder systems was investigated. Data consisted of genotypes from the Illumina HD chip a...

The prediction of genetic structure of East African smallholder dairy cattle
The lack of data recording in smallholder dairy cattle system implies that the availability of molecular data could offer some quick wins in terms of using the genomic information in genomic evaluation and therefore genomic selection (GS). Initial studies have reported low to medium accuracy of g...
