Mekuriaw, GetinetDessie, TadelleOkeyo Mwai, AllyDjikeng, AppolinaireMwacharo, Joram M.Osama, S.Tesfaye, K.[Haplotype variation, linkage disequilibrium and neutrality test analyses of detected single nucleotide polymorphisms in Kisspeptin gene of selected indigenous goat populations in Ethiopia]Haplotype variation, linkage disequilibrium and neutrality test analyses of detected single nucleotide polymorphisms in Kisspeptin gene of selected indigenous goat populations in Ethiopia

Indigenous goat breeds kept by majority of smallholder rural farmers in Eastern Africa are adapted to the local environment. These goats are critical for nutrition and income of their keepers. Milk production per doe is extremely variable. The variation in milk yield in goats is due to varied man...


Kiplagat, S.K.Agaba, MorrisKosgey, I.S.Okeyo Mwai, AllyIndetie, D.Hanotte, Olivier H.Limo, M.K.H.[Genetic polymorphism of kappa-casein gene in indigenous Eastern Africa goat populations]Genetic polymorphism of kappa-casein gene in indigenous Eastern Africa goat populations

Polymorphism analysis of the Kisspeptin (KISS1) gene and its association with litter size were conducted in two (Gondar and Woyto Guji) Ethiopian indigenous goat populations. Three new pairs of primers were designed for touchdown PCR condition. A total of 173 and 242 Sanger sequences were employ...

Economic values for production traits (milk yield, MY, g; 12-month live weight, yLW, kg; consumable meat percentage, CM, %) and functional traits (mature doe live weight, DoLW, kg; mature buck live weight, LWb, kg; kidding frequency, KF; pre-weaning survival rate, PrSR, %; post-weaning survival r...


Mbuku, S.Kosgey, I.S.Okeyo Mwai, AllyKahi, A.[Economic values for production and functional traits of Small East African goat using profit functions]Economic values for production and functional traits of Small East African goat using profit functions

The Horn of Africa forms one of the two main historical entry points of domestics into the continent and Ethiopia is particularly important in this regard. Through the analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) d-loop region in 309 individuals from 13 populations, we reveal the maternal genetic variat...

Ojango, Julie M.K.Baltenweck, IsabelleMrode, Raphael A.Muigai, Anne W.T.Haile, AynalemOkeyo Mwai, Ally[Integrating socio-economic attributes of rural communities in small ruminant improvement programs in sub-Saharan Africa]Integrating socio-economic attributes of rural communities in small ruminant improvement programs in sub-Saharan Africa

Genetic characterization requires knowledge of genetic variation that can be effectively measured within and between populations. It is considered as an important tool for sustainable management or conservation of a particular population. Presence of limited diversity may hamper the possibility o...


Mekuriaw, GetinetGizaw, SolomonDessie, TadelleOkeyo Mwai, AllyDjikeng, AppolinaireTesfaye, K.[A review on current knowledge of genetic diversity of domestic goats (Capra hircus) identified by microsatellite loci: How those efforts are strong to support the breeding programs?]A review on current knowledge of genetic diversity of domestic goats (Capra hircus) identified by microsatellite loci: How those efforts are strong to support the breeding programs?

Okeyo Mwai, Ally[Opportunities, challenges and prospects for dairy goat improvement by the Poor: The Kenyan experience]Opportunities, challenges and prospects for dairy goat improvement by the Poor: The Kenyan experience

The aim of the current simulation study was to maximise the amount (kg) of high value meat arising from surplus males and females per kilogram of the goat population and, maximise weight gains to turnoff age. Subsequently, the study aimed to decrease turnoff age, maximisation of reproduction rate...
