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

Mekuriaw, GetinetDessie, TadelleOkeyo Mwai, AllyDjikeng, AppolinaireMwacharo, Joram M.Osama, S.Tesfaye, K.[Haplotype variation, linkage disequilibrium and neutrality test analyses of detected single nucleotide polymorphisms in Kisspeptin gene of selected indigenous goat populations in Ethiopia]Haplotype variation, linkage disequilibrium and neutrality test analyses of detected single nucleotide polymorphisms in Kisspeptin gene of selected indigenous goat populations in Ethiopia

Indigenous goat breeds kept by majority of smallholder rural farmers in Eastern Africa are adapted to the local environment. These goats are critical for nutrition and income of their keepers. Milk production per doe is extremely variable. The variation in milk yield in goats is due to varied man...


Kiplagat, S.K.Agaba, MorrisKosgey, I.S.Okeyo Mwai, AllyIndetie, D.Hanotte, Olivier H.Limo, M.K.H.[Genetic polymorphism of kappa-casein gene in indigenous Eastern Africa goat populations]Genetic polymorphism of kappa-casein gene in indigenous Eastern Africa goat populations

Polymorphism analysis of the Kisspeptin (KISS1) gene and its association with litter size were conducted in two (Gondar and Woyto Guji) Ethiopian indigenous goat populations. Three new pairs of primers were designed for touchdown PCR condition. A total of 173 and 242 Sanger sequences were employ...


Mekuriaw, GetinetMwacharo, Joram M.Dessie, TadelleOkeyo Mwai, AllyDjikeng, AppolinaireOsama, S.Gebreyesus, G.Kidane, A.Abegaz, S.Tesfaye, K.[Polymorphism analysis of kisspeptin (KISS1) gene and its association with litter size in Ethiopian indigenous goat populations]Polymorphism analysis of kisspeptin (KISS1) gene and its association with litter size in Ethiopian indigenous goat populations

Economic values for production traits (milk yield, MY, g; 12-month live weight, yLW, kg; consumable meat percentage, CM, %) and functional traits (mature doe live weight, DoLW, kg; mature buck live weight, LWb, kg; kidding frequency, KF; pre-weaning survival rate, PrSR, %; post-weaning survival r...


Mbuku, S.Kosgey, I.S.Okeyo Mwai, AllyKahi, A.[Economic values for production and functional traits of Small East African goat using profit functions]Economic values for production and functional traits of Small East African goat using profit functions

The Horn of Africa forms one of the two main historical entry points of domestics into the continent and Ethiopia is particularly important in this regard. Through the analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) d-loop region in 309 individuals from 13 populations, we reveal the maternal genetic variat...


Mekuriaw, GetinetTesfaye, K.Okeyo Mwai, AllyDjikeng, AppolinaireDessie, TadelleBirungi, JosephineOsama, S.Zergaw, N.Alemu, A.Achieng, G.Tutah, J.Mutai, C.Njuguna, J.Mwacharo, Joram M.[Mitochondrial DNA variation reveals maternal origins and demographic dynamics of Ethiopian indigenous goats]Mitochondrial DNA variation reveals maternal origins and demographic dynamics of Ethiopian indigenous goats

Genetic characterization requires knowledge of genetic variation that can be effectively measured within and between populations. It is considered as an important tool for sustainable management or conservation of a particular population. Presence of limited diversity may hamper the possibility o...


Mekuriaw, GetinetGizaw, SolomonDessie, TadelleOkeyo Mwai, AllyDjikeng, AppolinaireTesfaye, K.[A review on current knowledge of genetic diversity of domestic goats (Capra hircus) identified by microsatellite loci: How those efforts are strong to support the breeding programs?]A review on current knowledge of genetic diversity of domestic goats (Capra hircus) identified by microsatellite loci: How those efforts are strong to support the breeding programs?

The aim of the current simulation study was to maximise the amount (kg) of high value meat arising from surplus males and females per kilogram of the goat population and, maximise weight gains to turnoff age. Subsequently, the study aimed to decrease turnoff age, maximisation of reproduction rate...


Mbuku, S.M.Okeyo Mwai, AllyKosgey, I.S.Kahi, A.K.[Optimum crossbreeding systems for goats in low-input livestock production system in Kenya]Optimum crossbreeding systems for goats in low-input livestock production system in Kenya

Successful livestock improvement programmes focusing on low-input smallholder production systems though rare, are possible using community-based approaches. This paper outlines important design and implementation components of a goat improvement programme undertaken by FARM Africa in the eastern ...


Peacock, C.P.Ahuya, C.O.Ojango, Julie M.K.Okeyo Mwai, Ally[Practical crossbreeding for improved livelihoods in developing countries: The FARM Africa goat project]Practical crossbreeding for improved livelihoods in developing countries: The FARM Africa goat project

The use of exotic dairy goats in breeding programmes for smallholder production systems is popular in Eastern Africa. However, information on the performance of exotic breeds within these systems is scarce. This paper presents information on performance of Toggenburg dairy goats under smallholder...
