The genetic variation in 10 indigenous Caucasian sheep breeds was studied with 14 micro-satellite loci in order to determine the genetic diversity among and between the breeds. Five breeds from Asia, five breeds from Europe and one breed from Africa, were included in order to study any relationsh...

An evaluation of a long-term breeding programme in a closed Sahiwal herd in Kenya. II. Genetic and phenotypic trends and levels of inbreeding
A selection programme (PNSO) was set up in 1983 in Cote d'Ivoire to increase growth and liveweight of the indigenous Djallonke sheep, using open nucleus breeding system. Selection was based on male individual weight at 80, 180 and 365 days of age. 10,417 records on 80 day weights (WT80) of lambs ...

Incorporation of farmer knowledge and preferences in designing breeding policy and conservation strategy for domestic animals
Summarises the critical steps for designing a comprehensive breeding system. Breed (genotype) comparison and utilization are discussed with ref. to breeding policy, environment and management systems, genetic parameters, purebreds, F1 crosses, rotational crossing, and F2 and F3 generations of bre...

Capacity building for sustainable use of animal genetic resources in developing countries - a new approach
Ethiopia has a large farm animal genetic diversity. The existence of this diversity is due in large part to its geographical location near the historical entry point of many livestock populations from Asia, its diverse topographic and climatic conditions, the huge livestock population size and th...
