Jembere, T.Kebede, K.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.Haile, AynalemOkeyo Mwai, AllyDessie, Tadelle[Recording birth weight has no significance in village based genetic improvement programs of small ruminants]Recording birth weight has no significance in village based genetic improvement programs of small ruminants

Determinants of the use of cereal and pulse residue for livestock feeding and soil mulching among smallholder farmers in the mixed farming system were analyzed. Crop residue (CR) is dual purpose resources in the mixed crop–livestock systems of the Ethiopian highlands. They serve as livestock feed...


Alkhtib, A.Wamatu, JaneKassie, Girma T.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.[Analysis of crop residue use in small holder mixed farms in Ethiopia]Analysis of crop residue use in small holder mixed farms in Ethiopia

Five varieties of faba beans, 4 improved and released variety and one local variety, were investigated for varietal variation in straw yield, nutritive value of straw morphological fractions and grain yield. Samples of the whole plant biomass were collected and separated into grain and straw. The...


Alkhtib, A.Wamatu, JaneWegi, T.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.[Variation in the straw traits of morphological fractions of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and implications for selecting for food-feed varieties]Variation in the straw traits of morphological fractions of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and implications for selecting for food-feed varieties
Jembere, TemergenHaile, AynalemDessie, TadelleKebede, KefelegnOkeyo Mwai, AllyRischkowsky, Barbara A.[Productivity benchmarks for community-based genetic improvement of Abergelle, Central Highland and Woyto-Guji indigenous goat breeds in Ethiopia]Productivity benchmarks for community-based genetic improvement of Abergelle, Central Highland and Woyto-Guji indigenous goat breeds in Ethiopia

Low adoption rates of introduced technologies in spite of manifestly increased production suggestthat livestock developer and farmer value livestock differently. The purpose of this paper is torelate productivity more closely to the perspective of the farmer. The concept of productivity isreviewe...

Asmare, BimrewDemeke, S.Ejeta, Taye TolemariamTegegne, FirewWamatu, JaneRischkowsky, Barbara A.[Evaluation of desho grass (Pennisetum pedicellatum) hay as a basal diet for growing local sheep in Ethiopia]Evaluation of desho grass (Pennisetum pedicellatum) hay as a basal diet for growing local sheep in Ethiopia

With the main objective of improving Tajik mohair quantity and quality, frozen semen from eight top performance tested Texan Angora bucks was imported and used on 459 selected local goats from 11 farmers in two insemination seasons. Conception rates in both seasons were very low. Sixty six Texan ...


Mueller, J.P.Kosimov, M.A.Kosimov F.F.Brent, L.Nishanov, N.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.[Do Texas Angora bucks improve mohair weight and quality traits of Tajik Angora goats? Short communication]Do Texas Angora bucks improve mohair weight and quality traits of Tajik Angora goats? Short communication

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...


Elbeltagy, A.R.Aboul-Naga, A.M.Hassen, H.Solouma, G.M.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.Wacharo, J.M.[Genetic diversity and structure of goats within an early livestock dispersal area in Eastern North Africa]Genetic diversity and structure of goats within an early livestock dispersal area in Eastern North Africa

Breeding programmes described as community-based (CBBP) typically relate to low-input systems with farmers having a common interest to improve and share their genetic resources. CBBPs are more frequent with keepers of small ruminants, in particular smallholders of local breeds, than with cattle, ...


Mueller, J.P.Rischkowsky, Barbara A.Haile, AynalemPhilipsson, J.Okeyo Mwai, AllyBesbes, B.Valle-Zárate, A.Tibbo, MarkosMirkena, T.Duguma, G.Sölkner, J.Wurzinger, Maria[Community based livestock breeding programmes: Essentials and examples]Community based livestock breeding programmes: Essentials and examples

Based on the results of participatory approaches to define traits in the breeding objectives, four scenarios of ram selection and ram use were compared via deterministic modelling of breeding plans for community-based sheep breeding programmes in four diverse agro-ecological regions of Ethiopia. ...


Mirkena, T.Duguma, G.Willam, A.Wurzinger, MariaHaile, AynalemRischkowsky, Barbara A.Okeyo Mwai, AllyTibbo, MarkosSölkner, J.[Community-based alternative breeding plans for indigenous sheep breeds in four agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia]Community-based alternative breeding plans for indigenous sheep breeds in four agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia
