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
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

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

High levels of inbreeding in East African dairy cattle are a potential concern because of use of a limited range of imported germplasm coupled with strong selection, especially by disease, and sparse performance recording. To address this, genetic relationships and breed composition in an admixed...


Gorbach, D.M.Makgahlela, M.L.Reecy, J.M.Kemp, Stephen J.Baltenweck, IsabelleOuma, R.Okeyo Mwai, AllyMarshall, KarenMurdoch, B.Moore, S.Rothschild, Max F.[Use of SNP genotyping to determine pedigree and breed composition of dairy cattle in Kenya]Use of SNP genotyping to determine pedigree and breed composition of dairy cattle in Kenya
Ojango, Julie M.K.Mrode, Raphael A.Rege, J.E.O.Mujibi, D.Strucken, E.M.Gibson, John P.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[Genetic evaluation of test-day milk yields from smallholder dairy production systems in Kenya using genomic relationships]Genetic evaluation of test-day milk yields from smallholder dairy production systems in Kenya using genomic relationships

Dairy goat development in Kenya started in the mid 1950s, with the introduction of exotic dairy goat breeds. Major projects to improve the dairy goat sector were not realized until the late 1970s under United Nations Development Programmes (UNDP) funded and FAO executed projects, which lasted unt...


Ahuya, C.O.Okeyo Mwai, AllyMwangi-Njuru, D.Peacock, C.P.[Developmental challenges and opportunities in the goat industry: the Kenyan experience]Developmental challenges and opportunities in the goat industry: the Kenyan experience

Development of the livestock industry and its role in poverty alleviation in developing countries depends on how adaptive the production systems are to changing global environmental and economic trends. This paper characterizes dairy production systems in India, Tanzania, Kenya and Nicaragua, and...


Ojango, Julie M.K.Wasike, C.B.Enahoro, Dolapo K.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[Dairy production systems and the adoption of genetic and breeding technologies in Tanzania, Kenya, India and Nicaragua]Dairy production systems and the adoption of genetic and breeding technologies in Tanzania, Kenya, India and Nicaragua
