The recent amalgamation of ILRAD and ILCA provides the perfect platform for an African livestock genetic characterization program. The knowledge accumulated at ILCA over the years by its scientists, their network of contacts and collaborations, and the network of contacts and collaborations estab...

To evaluate the Weitzman approach for assessing alternative conservation strategies for breed ( population ) diversity, we used genetic distance measures between 49 African cattle breeds divided into two groups of 26 taurine ( Bos taurus ) and sanga ( Bos taurus×Bos indicus ) breeds and 23 zebu ...

In this study we examined the genetic diversity of yak populations in the northernmost part of their current global distribution. Five Mongolian and one Russian yak populations as well as one Chinese yak population from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, the putative centre of yak domestication, were a...

To date, investigations of genetic diversity and the origins of domestication in sheep have utilised autosomal microsatellites and variation in the mitochondrial genome. We present the first analysis of both domestic and wild sheep using genetic markers residing on the ovine Y chromosome. Analysi...

This workshop reviews the options and strategies for the conservation of farm animal genetic resources (FAnGR) and to identify priorities for action. It focusses primarily on the technical needs and opportunities and placed less emphasis on policy and institutional issues. The workshop resulted i...

Camels are important resource for the desert-dwelling communities. They are a source of income, milk and meat and often play an important sociocultural role in pastoralist societies. In order to help formulate a rational conservation, utilisation and Development policy for the species in Kenya, a...
The origin of the American hair sheep is diverse with likely early introductions from the Canary Islands, followed by introductions from the African and European continents. Using 14 microsatellite loci, we studied 3 American hair sheep (St. Croix, Barbados Blackbelly, and Gulf Coast Native), 6 E...
