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...

The Nyando Basin in Kenya, a rich agricultural flood plain around Lake Victoria with a population density exceeding 400 persons per square kilometre, has been adversely affected by extreme weather events that include droughts and floods. Literacy levels are low. Land sizes are small, generally le...
