Mrode, Raphael A.Ojango, Julie M.K.Okeyo Mwai, AllyMwacharo, Joram M.[Genomic selection and use of molecular tools in breeding programs for indigenous and crossbred cattle in developing countries: Current status and future prospects]Genomic selection and use of molecular tools in breeding programs for indigenous and crossbred cattle in developing countries: Current status and future prospects

To facilitate livestock improvement in developing countries, records on animal populations and their various productivity levels are important. However, in these countries, livestock recording presents a huge challenge. This paper presents an outline of the historical developments and the current...


Kosgey, I.S.Mbuku, S.M.Okeyo Mwai, AllyAmimo, Joshua O.Philipsson, J.Ojango, Julie M.K.[Institutional and organizational frameworks for dairy and beef cattle recording in Kenya: a review and opportunities for improvement]Institutional and organizational frameworks for dairy and beef cattle recording in Kenya: a review and opportunities for improvement

Crossing local breeds with exotic breeds may be an option for increased livestock productivity. However, there is a risk for endangerment of the local breeds. One such case is in Kenya where the imported Dorper breed is used for crossbreeding with Red Maasai sheep. The aim of this study was to in...


Zonabend König, EmelieMirkena, T.Strandberg, E.Audho, James O.Ojango, Julie M.K.Malmfors, B.Okeyo Mwai, AllyPhilipsson, J.[Participatory definition of breeding objectives for sheep breeds under pastoral systems—the case of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep in Kenya]Participatory definition of breeding objectives for sheep breeds under pastoral systems—the case of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep in Kenya

Direct and maternal (co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for growth and reproductive traits in the Kenya Boran cattle fitting univariate animal models. Data consisted of records on 4502 animals from 81 sires and 1010 dams collected between 1989 and 2004. The average numbe...

Opoola, O.Mrode, Raphael A.Banos, G.Ojango, Julie M.K.Banga, C.Chagunda, M.G.G.[Current situations of animal data recording, dairy improvement infrastructure, human capacity and strategic issues affecting dairy production in sub-Saharan Africa]Current situations of animal data recording, dairy improvement infrastructure, human capacity and strategic issues affecting dairy production in sub-Saharan Africa
Ojango, Julie M.K.Mrode, Raphael A.Rege, J.E.O.Mujibi, D.Strucken, E.M.Gibson, John P.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[Genetic evaluation of test-day milk yields from smallholder dairy production systems in Kenya using genomic relationships]Genetic evaluation of test-day milk yields from smallholder dairy production systems in Kenya using genomic relationships

In the Ankole pastoral production system animals are grazed on pasture all year round. The cattle are not supplemented with conserved pasture or commercial feed except minerals. The large number of factors that influence production makes it impractical and expensive to use field trials to explore...
