Alternative learning technologies for developing capacity in animal breeding and genetics in middle and low income countries
The Global Plan of Action (GPA) for Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR) adopted by FAO recognizes the role of AnGR for food security through improved productivity while maintaining genetic diversity. A critical issue for conservation and genetic improvement programmes is the availability of supportiv...

Infrastructure for sustainable use of animal genetic resources in southern and eastern Africa
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...

Capacity development in animal breeding and genetics—Insights and opportunities from a decade of regional “training of the trainer” experiences
A new approach for capacity building, "training the trainers", addressing university faculty and other NARS scientists in developing countries, has been implemented to strengthen the sustainable use of Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR) through improved research and teaching. The project is carried ...

The Red Maasai sheep breed is under threat due to indiscriminate crossbreeding and strategies are needed to conserve and improve the breed. The aim of this study was to understand farmers’ preferences for important traits of flocks of Red Maasai, Dorper and crosses in two different areas, Ambosel...
