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...

Artificial or natural insemination: the demand for breeding services by smallholders.
We present use of SNP technologies to obtain for the first time, rapid, large-scale, in situ estimates of performance of crossbred cows in smallholder herds. Compared to historical approaches, our approach allowed optimum crossbreed choices to be determined more rapidly and without question about...

Experiments were conducted on East African (EA) and Galla (G) does to investigat the impact of different milking procedures on milk yield of does and the growth rate of kids. The procedures includes milking with absence or presence of kids and residual suckling milking half udder while kid suckli...
