An on-line survey on the state of existing dairy data, dairy improvement infrastructure and human capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) was undertaken with the aim of assessing whether the state of existing animal recording, dairy improvement methods and key issues facing dairy production together...


Abejide, O.Mrode, Raphael A.Banos, G.Ojango, Julie M.K.Banga, C.Simm, G.Chagunda, M.G.G.[Current situations of animal data recording, dairy improvement infrastructure, human capacity and strategic issues affecting dairy production in sub-Saharan Africa]Current situations of animal data recording, dairy improvement infrastructure, human capacity and strategic issues affecting dairy production in sub-Saharan Africa

Functioning national livestock performance recording and monitoring systems are scarce in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet improvements and changes in any livestock sector heavily depend on the availability of information and accurate data on animal characteristics and their performance within different p...


Okeyo Mwai, AllyOjango, Julie M.K.Mrode, Raphael A.Quirós, C.Gibson, J.Efa, KefenaBesufekad, J.Lyatuu, Eliamoni T.R.Msuta, G.Kahumbu, S.Nyakundi, H.N.Mogaka, D.Oyieng, E.[Innovative application of ICT tools for paperless data capture and feedback in smallholder dairy production systems: The Platform for African Dairy Genetic Gains (ADGG)]Innovative application of ICT tools for paperless data capture and feedback in smallholder dairy production systems: The Platform for African Dairy Genetic Gains (ADGG)

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...


Aliloo, HassanMrode, Raphael A.Okeyo Mwai, AllyOjango, Julie M.K.Dessie, TadelleRege, J.E.O.Goddard, M.Gibson, John P.[Optimal design of low density marker panels for genotype imputation]Optimal design of low density marker panels for genotype imputation

The aim of this study was to measure losses in milk production due to the impact of heat stress, using temperature-humidity index (THI) on test-day milk records of small holder dairy cattle farms in Tanzania. Climate data obtained from aWhere, an agricultural weather data platform (http://www.awh...

The impact of utilizing the genomic relationship matrix (G) computed based on breedwise allele frequencies or different scaling factors on the accuracy of genomic prediction in cross-bred dairy cattle in smallholder systems was investigated. Data consisted of genotypes from the Illumina HD chip a...


Mrode, Raphael A.Ojango, Julie M.K.Gibson, John P.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[Improving the accuracy of genomic predictions in small holder crossed- bred dairy cattle]Improving the accuracy of genomic predictions in small holder crossed- bred dairy cattle

Genomic selection on UK dairy goats began in 2015. New traits for selection have evolved since that time with the addition of new genotypes for the reference population. The objectives of this study were to define longevity in terms of lifespan and production, to estimate their heritabilities, an...

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...


Mrode, Raphael A.Aliloo, HassanStrucken, E.M.Coffey, M.Ojango, Julie M.K.Mujibi, DenisGibson, John P.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[The impact of modelling and pooled data on the accuracy of genomic prediction in small holder dairy data]The impact of modelling and pooled data on the accuracy of genomic prediction in small holder dairy data
