The African Chicken Genetic Gains (ACGG) project was started in 2014 and implemented over 5 years in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Nigeria. The program’s vision is to increase smallholder chicken production and productivity growth as a pathway out of poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The program was led b...

The with-in selection also known as mass-selection has been considered as the less complex approach being applied for many years in livestock species and yielded significant genetic gains. In Africa, the extent to which mass- selection applied in the genetic improvement of chicken for better perf...

Availability of appropriate genetics is important for the development of Smallholder Poultry (SHP) in Sub-Saharan Africa. The biological potential of improved dual purpose chicken strains was evaluated in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Nigeria. A total of 8 strains (Funaab Alpha, Horro, Noiler, ShikaBrow...

Economic contributions of interventions that aims to improve village chicken production through dual-purpose improved breeds-based production system was estimated using recently conducted production and marketing surveys in Ethiopia, Nigeria and Tanzania. The data were collected from sample of vi...

A cluster-randomized study design has evaluated the effect of the ATONU and ACGG interventions on the primary outcome of dietary diversity among women of reproductive age in smallholder poultry producing households. Data were collected between November 2016 and May 2018 at three time points: base...

Smallholder poultry (SHP) are kept in scavenging, small scale, free-range and backyard systems which depend for feed and nutrition on the scavengeable feed resource base (SFRB). The quantity and quality of SFRB varies with season, altitude, climatic conditions, farming activities and village floc...

In 2008 a breeding program to increase production level in indigenous chickens was initiated at the Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center in Ethiopia and is currently producing its 8th generation. Aim of this paper was to evaluate the success of the breeding program. Selection was on own perfor...

Traditional ‘random’ sampling strategy for molecular characterization has revealed low genetic differentiation and weak genetic structure among Asian and African indigenous, non-descript chicken populations although they carried high within-population phenotypic and molecular genetic diversity. I...
