The aim of the current simulation study was to maximise the amount (kg) of high value meat arising from surplus males and females per kilogram of the goat population and, maximise weight gains to turnoff age. Subsequently, the study aimed to decrease turnoff age, maximisation of reproduction rate...

Ensuring that locally adopted breeds are a functional part of production systems is the most national and sustainable way to conserve animal genetic resources. This can only be possible if sustainable breeding strategies for such animals are developed which take into account their economically im...

Autor: Kahi, A.K. Thorpe, W.R. Nitter, G. Arendonk, Johan A.M. van Gall, C.F.

Data on accumulated life performance of crosses of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B), Friesian (F) and Sahiwal (S) cattle collected over a 21- years period from a dairy ranch in the lowland tropics of Kenya were analysed to estimate additive and non-additive genetic effects of economic traits. These ...

his study evaluated alternative breeding objectives and schemes for crossbred goats in a village/ community breeding program. A single-tier breeding structure was assumed in the optimisation of this breeding program. Considered were two selection schemes; within-group (WG) and across-groups (AG),...

This study estimated economic values (EVs) for disease resistance traits for dairy/crossbred goats in Kenya. The traits mean somatic cell count (SCC, cells/μl) and faecal worm egg count (FEC, epg) were taken as indicator traits for the most prevalent diseases in the smallholder farms i.e., mastit...

The objective of this study was to define breeding objectives and consequently determine optimum crossbreeding levels for goats in the smallholder production systems. Profits and economic values (EVs) were estimated for four genotypes namely (a) original stock or local goat breeds with 0% German ...

A total of 1443 records of preweaning traits of calves in a dairy herd in coastal lowland Kenya were used to estimate crossbreeding parameters in a regression analysis. In this herd, the Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B) and Sahiwal (S) breeds have been used in a 3-breed rotation crossbreeding system...

An individual animal model was fitted to data from a crossbred herd in the lowland coastal tropics of Kenya to estimated breed cross means for a total of 25 genotypes having different proportions of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B), Friesian (F) and Sahiwal (S) genes. These means were then regressed...

A total of 1443 records from a private ranch in the coastal lowland tropics of Kenya were used to estimate the comparative calf performance to weaning of the different crosses of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B) and Sahiwal (S). Individual and maternal additive and heterotic effects for, and heritab...
