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...
Indigenous chicken makes most of the world’s poultry genetic diversity particularly in developing countries. These local breeds, which are well- adapted to extensive husbandry systems and suitable for resource-poor poultry farmers endowed with very limited means, should be thoroughly studied as a...
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...
Dromedaries have been fundamental to the development of human societies in arid landscapes and for long-distance trade across hostile hot terrains for 3,000 y. Today they continue to be an important livestock resource in marginal agro-ecological zones. However, the history of dromedary domesticat...
Genetic diversity of the indigenous cattle of Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Tanzania using high-density SNP data. The indigenous cattle make a significant contribution to the livelihood of many communities in Ethiopia, Tanzania and other countries in eastern Africa. Here, we identify the genetic st...
