In this study we genotyped 14 microsatellites to assess genetic diversity, population stratification and demographic dynamics using Egyptian local goats (Zaraibi, Baladi, Saidi and Barki) and the Shami (Damascus) goat from the Middle East and West Asia close to the geographic center of goat domes...

Based on the multiple utility of goats as well as multiple resources employed, broader productivity criteria were developed and applied to evaluate subsistence goat production. The results showed that, under the improved subsistence production, crossbred goats did not generate any more Unit Net B...

Crossbreeding does not lead to greater contribution of goats to household welfare, but improved management does
Individual labour input into goat husbandry was enumerated for a period of one year from a total of 71 sample households. Comparison was made at household level. Results show that women contribute a proportional share of labour and their share changes in response to household characteristics rela...

Contribution of women to household labour input into the subsistence goat husbandry in eastern Ethiopia
Goats and sheep are versatile domesticates that have been integrated into diverse environments and production systems. Natural and artificial selection have shaped the variation in the two species, but natural selection has played the major role among indigenous flocks. To investigate signals of ...
