Guidelines for setting up community-based small ruminants breeding programs: Second edition
Survival of indigenous goats in Kenya is at risk: due to exotic breed importation and indiscriminate crossbreeding. Phenotypic description of goats with an aim of determining their improvement, utilization and conservation is important. Phenotypic characteristics of 139 East African Goats were re...

The indigenous farm genetic resources of Somalia: Preliminary phenotypic and genotypic characterization of cattle, sheep and goats
In 2008 a breeding program to increase production level in indigenous chickens was initiated at the Debre Zeit Agricultural Research Center in Ethiopia and is currently producing its 8th generation. Aim of this paper was to evaluate the success of the breeding program. Selection was on own perfor...

Whole genome detection of signature of positive selection in African cattle reveals selection for thermotolerance
This study aimed to estimate the level of relatedness within Ankole cattle herds using autosomal microsatellite markers and to assess the accuracy of relationship assignment based on farmers' memory. Eight cattle populations (four from each of two counties in Mbarara district in Uganda) were stud...
