Multilevel data structures can occur in many areas of agricultural research for instance on-farm trials, where there can be information at the village, farm and plot or animal level. Analysis of variance except in balanced or nested designs - has been difficult to apply to data with a multilevel ...
This workshop was conceived in recognition of the fact that, over the years, a great deal of research has been conducted on trypanotolerance. With the advent of new and powerful means to identify markers and genes controlling traits of interest, and with the developments in animal breeding bringi...

Linear mixed model: An introduction with applications in veterinary research
This study illustrates how productivity impacts resulting from livestock research can be measured using a herd simulation model, how the results of this model can be extended spatially using geographic information systems (GIS) to determine the potential increase in livestock production that woul...

Using the economic surplus model to measure potential returns to international livestock research. The case of trypanosomosis vaccine research
This paper addresses issues surrounding measurment of the potential productivity gains from new livestock technologies and the returns to international livestock research. The approach, applicable to many livestock production constraints and technologies, uses geographic information systems (GIS)...
