Mujibi, F.D.N.Rao, E.J.O.Agaba, MorrisNyambo, D.Cheruiyot, E.K.Kihara, AbsolomonZhang, YiMrode, Raphael A.[Performance evaluation of highly admixed Tanzanian smallholder dairy cattle using SNP derived kinship matrix]Performance evaluation of highly admixed Tanzanian smallholder dairy cattle using SNP derived kinship matrix
Chagunda, M.G.G.Mujibi, F.D.N.Dusingizimana, ThéogéneKamana, O.Cheruiyot, E.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[Use of high density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays to assess genetic diversity and population structure of dairy cattle in smallholder dairy systems: The case of Girinka Programme in Rwanda]Use of high density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays to assess genetic diversity and population structure of dairy cattle in smallholder dairy systems: The case of Girinka Programme in Rwanda

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...


Ojango, Julie M.K.Marete, A.Mujibi, F.D.N.Rao, E.J.O.Poole, Elizabeth J.Rege, J.E.O.Gondro, C.Weerasinghe, W.M.S.P.Gibson, John P.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[A novel use of high density SNP assays to optimize choice of different crossbred dairy cattle genotypes in smallholder systems in East Africa]A novel use of high density SNP assays to optimize choice of different crossbred dairy cattle genotypes in smallholder systems in East Africa

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
Cheruiyot, E.K.Bett, R.C.Amimo, Joshua O.Zhang, Y.Mrode, Raphael A.Mujibi, F.D.N.[Signatures of selection in admixed dairy cattle in Tanzania]Signatures of selection in admixed dairy cattle in Tanzania

Because cattle can be raised postweaning under several feeding regimes, this study examined the consistency of phenotypic and genetic parameters of some production and feeding behaviour traits between two feeding periods that beef cattle received a finisher diet. Crossbred steers (n = 851) were u...


Durunna, O.N.Mujibi, F.D.N.Nkrumah, D.J.Basarab, J.A.Okine, E.K.Moore, S.S.Wang, Z.[Genetic parameters for production and feeding behaviour traits in crossbred steers fed a finishing diet at different ages]Genetic parameters for production and feeding behaviour traits in crossbred steers fed a finishing diet at different ages

Reproductive performance and disease data were recorded for 2 years on 1,824 dairy cows in smallholder farms using participatory approaches and onfarm recording. Most animals experienced one service to conception. Calving intervals were long, ranging between 261 and 761 days, with an average of 4...
