Somalia, one of the world's poorest countries, has livestock as the mainstay of the economy, with an estimated 65% of the population engaged in the livestock sector. This paper presents a gendered study on the traditional livestock breeding practices of Somali pastoralists for camels, cattle, she...


Marshall, KarenMtimet, NadhemWanyoike, Francis N.Ndiwa, Nicholas N.Ghebremariam, H.Mugunieri, Lawrence GodiahCostagli, R.[Traditional livestock breeding practices of men and women Somali pastoralists: trait preferences and selection of breeding animals]Traditional livestock breeding practices of men and women Somali pastoralists: trait preferences and selection of breeding animals

This paper presents results from a mapping experiment to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to Haemonchus contortus infestation in merino sheep. The primary trait analysed was faecal worm egg count in response to artificial challenge at 6 months of age. In the first stage of the ...


Marshall, KarenMaddox, J.F.Lee, S.H.Zhang, Y.Graser, H.UGondro, C.Walken-Brown, S.W.Werf, J.H.J. van der[Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci for resistance to Haemonchus contortus in sheep]Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci for resistance to Haemonchus contortus in sheep

Gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infection is the main health constraint for small ruminant production, causing loss of weight and/or death. Red Maasai sheep have adapted to a tropical environment where extreme parasite exposure is a constant, especially with highly pathogenic Haemonchus contortus...


Benavides, M.V.Sonstegard, T.S.Kemp, Stephen J.Mugambi, J.M.M.Gibson, John P.Baker, R.L.Hanotte, Olivier H.Marshall, KarenTassell, C. van[Identification of novel loci associated with gastrointestinal parasite resistance in a red Maasai x Dorper backcross population]Identification of novel loci associated with gastrointestinal parasite resistance in a red Maasai x Dorper backcross population

This case study focused on a pig production system in a rural area of North Central Vietnam, with a focus on describing household pig breeding practices and estimating herd demographic parameters, particularly on reproduction. One hundred five households undertaking small-scale piglet production ...

High levels of inbreeding in East African dairy cattle are a potential concern because of use of a limited range of imported germplasm coupled with strong selection, especially by disease, and sparse performance recording. To address this, genetic relationships and breed composition in an admixed...


Gorbach, D.M.Makgahlela, M.L.Reecy, J.M.Kemp, Stephen J.Baltenweck, IsabelleOuma, R.Okeyo Mwai, AllyMarshall, KarenMurdoch, B.Moore, S.Rothschild, Max F.[Use of SNP genotyping to determine pedigree and breed composition of dairy cattle in Kenya]Use of SNP genotyping to determine pedigree and breed composition of dairy cattle in Kenya

A survey was conducted in two sites of Senegal to determine the intra-household gender roles in the Senegal dairy cattle systems. Two surveys, baseline and longitudinal were conducted and the main survey respondents were the households heads. Households were grouped into two levels (higher or low...

Three microsatellite markers on goat chromosome 23 adjacent to the MHC were used to test for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting faecal worm egg count (WEC) and leukocyte traits in ten Australian Angora and twelve Australian Cashmere half-sib families (n = 16–57 per family). Data were collect...
