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

This study was undertaken to estimate the potential genetic gains in milk yield by using several alternative selection criteria which included milk yield and reproductive traits of dairy cattle in Malawi. Applying the selection index procedure, the expected genetic gain in each trait in the diffe...


Chagunda, M.G.G.Wollny, C.B.A.Bruns, E.W.[Potential genetic gain in dairy production of Holstein Friesian cattle applying a selection index]Potential genetic gain in dairy production of Holstein Friesian cattle applying a selection index

Over the last two decades, dairy cattle management in Malawi has been oriented towards increasing milk yield per animal. One consequence of this process has been reliance on Holstein Friesian bull semen from temperate regions. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the performance of Holste...


Chagunda, M.G.G.Bruns, E.W.King, J.M.Wollny, C.B.A.[Evaluation of the breeding strategy for milk yield of Holstein Friesian cows on large scale dairy farms in Malawi]Evaluation of the breeding strategy for milk yield of Holstein Friesian cows on large scale dairy farms in Malawi

This paper describes a study aimed at evaluating the effect of selecting sires based on their breeding values for milk yield estimated in their countries of origin on reproductive performance of their daughters on large-scale dairy farms in Malawi. To do this an analysis was done using 2362 recor...


Chagunda, M.G.G.Bruns, E.W.Wollny, C.B.A.King, H.M.[Effect of milk yield-based selection on some reproductive traits of Holstein Friesian cows on large-scale dairy farms in Malawi]Effect of milk yield-based selection on some reproductive traits of Holstein Friesian cows on large-scale dairy farms in Malawi

Milk production using local cattle breed-types is an age-old practice in Malawi. Although dairy farming is becoming more common as a result of the increasing population and demand for milk and milk products, there is limited knowledge of the farmers’ awareness of zoonotic disease risks, their pre...
