Despite the large numbers and importance of adapted indigenous sheep and goats in the tropics, information on sustainable conventional breeding programmes for them is scarce and often unavailable. This paper reviews within-breed selection strategies for indigenous small ruminants in the tropics,...

The capabilities of rumen fluid sources from indigenous African ruminants and hindgut fluid from zebra to ferment leaves of Acacia angustissima, Calliandra calothyrsus, Leucaena diversifolia, Leucaena leucocephala, Leucaena pallida, and Tephrosia bracteolata were evaluated to determine the presen...

This paper discusses the research plan established to inventory and develop African breeds and protocols for In situ characterization. The paper also presents a review of West African Taurine cattle breeds. Minimum essential data set for breed characterization is summarised in a table form, and b...

Participation of farmers in research process from early stage has been gaining ground in breeding research. Participant farmers can provide very valuable scientific evaluation of genotypes that can be used for effective discrimination of useful varieties easily adopted by similar farmers. Partici...

With some 180 million head. comprising more than 150 different breeds or populations of taurine Bos taurus, indicine B. indicus and intermediate origin, the African continent is home to an enormous reservoir of cattle biodiversity. Recent archaeological findings are providing new insights into th...

Crop landraces (largely resulting from adaptation and continuous selection by farmers) are more diverse within field populations than modern cultivars (produced by deliberate crossing), yet their distribution has continued to shrink in the past decades. The temporal dynamics of this shrinking is ...

Research in Kenya has confirmed that Red Maasai sheep are more resistant to gastrointestinal parasites than Dorper sheep and has shown that Small East African goats are more resistant than Galla goats. There is no difference in resistance between the Menz and Horro sheep breeds in Ethiopia. Herit...

Africa is well endowed with a diversity of breeds and strains of livestock, which have proved remarkably suited to survive and produce under prevailing environmental rigours. Over 90 percent of the ruminant population in Africa is indigenous, although the numbers of distinct breeds of cattle, she...

Reasons for the accelerating loss of animal genetic resource (AnGR) diversity include indiscriminate crossbreeding, breed substitution, natural disasters and civil strife. The mechanisms through which these factors impact AnGR diversity are identified together with indigenous AnGR management prac...
