Mrode, Raphael A.Ojango, Julie M.K.Okeyo Mwai, AllyMwacharo, Joram M.[Genomic selection and use of molecular tools in breeding programs for indigenous and crossbred cattle in developing countries: Current status and future prospects]Genomic selection and use of molecular tools in breeding programs for indigenous and crossbred cattle in developing countries: Current status and future prospects

To facilitate livestock improvement in developing countries, records on animal populations and their various productivity levels are important. However, in these countries, livestock recording presents a huge challenge. This paper presents an outline of the historical developments and the current...


Kosgey, I.S.Mbuku, S.M.Okeyo Mwai, AllyAmimo, Joshua O.Philipsson, J.Ojango, Julie M.K.[Institutional and organizational frameworks for dairy and beef cattle recording in Kenya: a review and opportunities for improvement]Institutional and organizational frameworks for dairy and beef cattle recording in Kenya: a review and opportunities for improvement

Meat production is the most important trait in the breeding objectives of sheep production in East Africa. The aim of this study was to investigate breed differences in live weight, conformation, carcass traits and economic values for meat production among Red Maasai and Dorper sheep and their cr...


Zonabend König, EmelieOjango, Julie M.K.Audho, James O.Mirkena, T.Strandberg, E.Okeyo Mwai, AllyPhilipsson, J.[Live weight, conformation, carcass traits and economic values of ram lambs of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep and their crosses]Live weight, conformation, carcass traits and economic values of ram lambs of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep and their crosses
Ojango, Julie M.K.Audho, James O.Oyieng, EdwinRadeny, Maren A.O.Kimeli, PhilipRecha, John W.M.Muigai, Anne W.T.[Assessing actors in rural markets of sheep and goats in the Nyando Basin of western Kenya: A key to improving productivity from smallholder farms]Assessing actors in rural markets of sheep and goats in the Nyando Basin of western Kenya: A key to improving productivity from smallholder farms

The Global Plan of Action (GPA) for Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR) adopted by FAO recognizes the role of AnGR for food security through improved productivity while maintaining genetic diversity. A critical issue for conservation and genetic improvement programmes is the availability of supportiv...


Zonabend König, EmelieOkeyo Mwai, AllyOjango, Julie M.K.Hoffmann, I.Moyo, SibonisoPhilipsson, J.[Infrastructure for sustainable use of animal genetic resources in southern and eastern Africa]Infrastructure for sustainable use of animal genetic resources in southern and eastern Africa

Crossing local breeds with exotic breeds may be an option for increased livestock productivity. However, there is a risk for endangerment of the local breeds. One such case is in Kenya where the imported Dorper breed is used for crossbreeding with Red Maasai sheep. The aim of this study was to in...


Zonabend König, EmelieMirkena, T.Strandberg, E.Audho, James O.Ojango, Julie M.K.Malmfors, B.Okeyo Mwai, AllyPhilipsson, J.[Participatory definition of breeding objectives for sheep breeds under pastoral systems—the case of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep in Kenya]Participatory definition of breeding objectives for sheep breeds under pastoral systems—the case of Red Maasai and Dorper sheep in Kenya

Direct and maternal (co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated for growth and reproductive traits in the Kenya Boran cattle fitting univariate animal models. Data consisted of records on 4502 animals from 81 sires and 1010 dams collected between 1989 and 2004. The average numbe...

The aim of this article was to study opportunities for improvement of the indigenous and threatened Red Maasai sheep (RM) in Kenya, by comparing purebreeding with crossbreeding with Dorper sheep (D) as a terminal breed, in two different environments (Env. A and a harsher Env. B), assuming differe...
