The African Chicken Genetic Gains (ACGG) program is built on five “pillars of change”. The first pillar is to make available high producing tropically adapted breeds (hpTAB). The second pillar is to determine farmer-preferred hpTAB. The third pillar is to create public-private partnerships for th...

Doing it differently: A farmer-focused, private sector-driven approach to delivering innovation that works for women in the smallholder chicken value chain
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...

Africa Chicken genetic gains project: Availing adapted, farmer-preferred chickens for smallholders in sub- Saharan Africa
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...

On-station performance evaluation of improved tropically adapted chicken strains for smallholder poultry production systems in sub- Saharan Africa
SUMMARY. Our collection and genetic characterization of various indigenous chicken genotypes in Nigeria started in 1984 at the National Animal Production Research Institute, Shika, Zaria, (Shika Brown) in 1994 at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria (FUNAAB) and in 2014 in Oba...
