About 30% of all farm animal breeds worldwide are at risk of extinction. To prevent this irreversible erosion of genetic diversity, the limited funds available for conservation need to be allocated in the most efficient way. Applying the diversity concept of Weitzman [Quart. J. Econ. CVII (1992) ...

Due to the absence of accurate pedigree information, it has not been possible to implement genetic evaluations for crossbred cattle in African small-holder systems. Genomic selection techniques that do not rely on pedigree information could, therefore, be a useful alternative. The objective of th...

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...

Cost-effective genotyping of livestock species can be done through a process which involves genotyping part of the population using a high density (HD) panel and the remainder with a lower density panel and then use imputation to infer the missing genotypes that are not included on the low densit...

The lack of data recording in smallholder dairy cattle system implies that the availability of molecular data could offer some quick wins in terms of using the genomic information in genomic evaluation and therefore genomic selection (GS). Initial studies have reported low to medium accuracy of g...
