Mrode, Raphael A.Aliloo, H.Chinyere, E.Ojango, Julie M.K.Gibson, John P.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[The application of several genomic models for the analysis of small holder dairy cattle data]The application of several genomic models for the analysis of small holder dairy cattle data

The importance of milk and beef production in Latin America is high and increasing. In Nicaragua and neighbouring countries, smallholder dual-purpose (i.e., milk and beef) cattle production offers opportunities for poor cattle owners to improve their food and nutrition security, and increase thei...


Wurzinger, MariaOjango, Julie M.K.Corrales, RoldanUrbina, M.M.Hoek, Rein van derQuirós, CarlosPoole, Elizabeth J.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[Dual-purpose cattle production in Nicaragua: Which breed fits best?]Dual-purpose cattle production in Nicaragua: Which breed fits best?

Genetic diversity of the indigenous cattle of Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Tanzania using high-density SNP data. The indigenous cattle make a significant contribution to the livelihood of many communities in Ethiopia, Tanzania and other countries in eastern Africa. Here, we identify the genetic st...


Weerasinghe, ShalaneeGibson, John P.Gondro, CedricOkeyo Mwai, AllyOjango, Julie M.K.Rao, E.J.O.Dessie, TadelleMujibi, DenisRege, J.E.O.[Genetic diversity of the indigenous cattle of Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Tanzania using high-density SNP data]Genetic diversity of the indigenous cattle of Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Tanzania using high-density SNP data

The use of imported semen within the Holstein-Friesian cattle population in Kenya has contributed to increased milk production per cow, however, information on how this has impacted on functional traits, particularly early life survival and reproductive performance is scarce. This study evaluated...


Menjo, D.K.Bebe, B.O.Okeyo Mwai, AllyOjango, Julie M.K.[Analysis of early survival of Holstein-Friesian heifers of diverse sire origins on commercial dairy farms in Kenya]Analysis of early survival of Holstein-Friesian heifers of diverse sire origins on commercial dairy farms in Kenya

Data consisting of 18 884 weight records collected from 1273 Boran cattle from birth to 24 months of age were used to estimate covariance functions and genetic parameters for growth of Boran cattle using random regression (RR) models under a situation of small herd size and inconsistent recording...


Wasike, C.B.Indetie, D.Pitchford, W.S.Ojango, Julie M.K.Kahi, A.[Genetic evaluation of growth of Kenya Boran cattle using random regression models]Genetic evaluation of growth of Kenya Boran cattle using random regression models

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...
