Oral Presentation]Delivering systematic information on indigenous farm animal genetic resources of developing countries: The Development and prospects of DAGRIS. Oral Presentation

Sustainable livestock improvement cannot be guaranteed for most tropical areas of the world without utilization of the evolutionary adaptation of the indigenous livestock breeds. The paper summarizes the adaptive traits of indigenous tropical breeds, presents a case for their evaluation and discu...
