We present use of SNP technologies to obtain for the first time, rapid, large-scale, in situ estimates of performance of crossbred cows in smallholder herds. Compared to historical approaches, our approach allowed optimum crossbreed choices to be determined more rapidly and without question about...

Addis Ababa, with an estimated human population of over 3 million, has a high demand for cereals, pulses, fresh vegetables, fruits, milk and milk products and meat and eggs. The Ada’a Woreda is one of the important areas that supply the well known ‘maja’ teff, chickpeas, fresh vegetables, eggs an...

About 70% of all milk consumed in sub-Saharan Africa is imported from other parts of the
world. This trend may be reversed by encouraging production through marker assisted selection.
Goats are second to cattle in milk production, they require less inputs and their small size make
them attractive...

Indicators of poverty in western Kenya show high poverty levels. The area has low dairy development yet the potential for dairy development is quite high. Dairy farming has the potential to reduce poverty by increasing incomes and reducing unemployment. This paper reports factor interrelationship...

Kenya’s smallholder dairy sector produces 85% of the total milk marketed in the country. A
major constraint to milk production and number of calves born from the cows is the long calving
intervals. Determining non-pregnant cows early by measuring progesterone levels by day 23
after insemination c...
