With the world population projected to reach 8.5 billion people in 2030, more poultry meat and eggs will be needed from chickens reared in a broad range of environments and production systems. In developing countries, a large part of the poultry production rely on backyard systems raising dual- p...

New issues for dual-purpose breeding for chicken small producers
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...

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

On-station within-breed selection works in Africa: the case of the Horro chicken breeding program in Ethiopia
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...

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...
