Lukuyu, Margaret N.Gibson, John P.Savage, D.B.Rao, E.J.O.Ndiwa, Nicholas N.Duncan, Alan J.[Farmers’ perceptions of dairy cattle breeds, breeding and feeding strategies: A case of smallholder dairy farmers in western Kenya]Farmers’ perceptions of dairy cattle breeds, breeding and feeding strategies: A case of smallholder dairy farmers in western Kenya

We present use of SNP technologies to obtain for the first time, rapid, large-scale, in situ estimates of performance of crossbred cows in smallholder herds. Compared to historical approaches, our approach allowed optimum crossbreed choices to be determined more rapidly and without question about...

Body linear measurements, and specifically heart girth (HG), have been shown to be useful predictors of cattle liveweight. To test the accuracy of body linear measurements for predicting liveweight, crossbred dairy cattle of different genotypes were measured and weighed. A total of 352 mature cow...


Lukuyu, Margaret N.Gibson, John P.Savage, D.B.Duncan, Alan J.Mujibi, F.D.N.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[Use of body linear measurements to estimate liveweight of crossbred dairy cattle in smallholder farms in Kenya]Use of body linear measurements to estimate liveweight of crossbred dairy cattle in smallholder farms in Kenya

The world's domestic animal breeds represent an important resource for economic development and livelihood security. Extensive genetic diversity in these breeds allows the existence of livestock in all but the most extreme environments globally, providing a range of products and functions. Unfort...


Rege, J.E.O.Gibson, John P.[Animal genetic resources and economic development: issues in relation to economic valuation]Animal genetic resources and economic development: issues in relation to economic valuation

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...
