Gizaw, SolomonAbegaz, S.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.Haile, AynalemOkeyo Mwai, AllyDessie, Tadelle[Review of sheep research and development projects in Ethiopia]Review of sheep research and development projects in Ethiopia

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

Jembere, T.Kebede, K.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.Haile, AynalemOkeyo Mwai, AllyDessie, Tadelle[Recording birth weight has no significance in village based genetic improvement programs of small ruminants]Recording birth weight has no significance in village based genetic improvement programs of small ruminants

Background Understanding the relationship between genetic admixture and performances is crucial for the success of crossbreeding programs. Use of small sets of ancestry informative markers (AIMs) is a cost effective option to estimate the levels of admixture in situations where pedigree recording...

Ojango, Julie M.K.Baltenweck, IsabelleMrode, Raphael A.Muigai, Anne W.T.Haile, AynalemOkeyo Mwai, Ally[Integrating socio-economic attributes of rural communities in small ruminant improvement programs in sub-Saharan Africa]Integrating socio-economic attributes of rural communities in small ruminant improvement programs in sub-Saharan Africa

Indigenous sheep of Kenya are very important to resource-poor farmers and pastoralists. They have over time adapted to the harsh environmental conditions of the arid and semi-arid lands where they are faced with challenges of persistent droughts, diseases, conflicts and poor nutrition, yet show ...

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...
