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

Community-based breeding programs (CBBP), are being implemented in the South-West of Burkina Faso. CBBP are participatory programs that involve all local stakeholders in all steps, from designing and planning of the breeding program, all the way to the selection of the breeding stock. They aim to...


Ouédraogo, D.Soudré, A.Ouédraogo-Koné, S.Yougbaré, B.Bienvenue, L.Z.Arnaud, S.R.T.Gábor, M.Burger, P.Khayatzadeh, N.Wurzinger, MariaAmadou T.Okeyo Mwai, AllySölkner, J.[Implementation of community-based cattle breeding programs in Burkina Faso]Implementation of community-based cattle breeding programs in Burkina Faso

This paper reviews experiences with cross-breeding for milk production in the tropics. Data were compiled from 23 different studies evaluating the performance of different grades of cross-bred animals as well as local breeds. Relative performance of indigenous breeds compared with different grade...

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
Aliloo, H.Mrode, Raphael A.Okeyo Mwai, AllyGibson, John P.[Signatures of selection in admixed dairy cattle of Kenya]Signatures of selection in admixed dairy cattle of Kenya

Background: The history of African indigenous cattle and their adaptation to environmental and human selection pressure is at the root of their remarkable diversity. Characterization of this diversity is an essential step towards understanding the genomic basis of productivity and adaptation to s...

Cost-effective high-density (HD) genotypes of livestock species can be obtained by genotyping a proportion of the population using a HD panel and the remainder using a cheaper low-density panel, and then imputing the missing genotypes that are not directly assayed in the low-density panel. The ef...


Aliloo, H.Mrode, Raphael A.Okeyo Mwai, AllyNi, G.Goddard, M.E.Gibson, John P.[The feasibility of using low-density marker panels for genotype imputation and genomic prediction of crossbred dairy cattle of East Africa]The feasibility of using low-density marker panels for genotype imputation and genomic prediction of crossbred dairy cattle of East Africa

Background:Smallholder dairy farming in much of the developing world is based on the use of crossbred cows that combine local adaptation traits of indigenous breeds with high milk yield potential of exotic dairy breeds. Pedigree recording is rare in such systems which means that it is impossible ...


Strucken, E.M.Al-Mamun, H.A.Esquivelzeta-Rabell, C.Gondro, C.Okeyo Mwai, AllyGibson, John P.[Genetic tests for estimating dairy breed proportion and parentage assignment in East African crossbred cattle]Genetic tests for estimating dairy breed proportion and parentage assignment in East African crossbred cattle

At least 150 indigenous African cattle breeds have been named, but the majority of African cattle populations remain largely uncharacterized. As cattle breeds and populations in Africa adapted to various local environmental conditions, they acquired unique features. We know now that the history o...
