Menz sheep breed are well known for their adaptation in the cool highlands of Ethiopia and have wide range of coat colour. In the traditional breeding, black coat colour is not favored (by both producers and consumers in local markets) and communities select against it and therefore its frequency...

Farmer preferred attributes in selective breeding do not necessarily result in genetic gain for growth traits: The case of coat color
Background
Understanding the relationship between genetic admixture and performances is crucial for the success of crossbreeding programs. Use of small sets of ancestry informative markers (AIMs) is a cost effective option to estimate the levels of admixture in situations where pedigree recording...

Identifying highly informative genetic markers for quantification of ancestry proportions in crossbred sheep populations: Implications for choosing optimum levels of admixture
Animal health interventions tend to focus on transboundary or zoonotic animal diseases and little attention is given to diseases that mainly affect livestock production and productivity which are of concern for smallholder farmers. To understand disease priorities of men and women livestock keepe...
