Study of sheep and goat production in tropical Africa, particularly animal numbers and production systems and regional geographic distribution & productivity potentials, w. outline of the need for future research on their potential performance under improved systems; data on adult body weight & p...
Nairobi is a large rapidly-growing city whose demand for beef, mutton and goat products is expected to double by 2030. The study aimed to map the Nairobi beef, sheep and goat systems structure and flows to identify deficiencies and vulnerabilities to shocks.
Cross-sectional data were collected t...

A study conducted to assess the seasonal breeding effects on productivity of sheep and goats on the Maasai group ranch at Elangata Wuas in Kenya. Examines reproductive performance, mortality, growth and productivity. Includes data on parturition intervals, causes of pre-weaning mortality and prod...

Genomic selection on UK dairy goats began in 2015. New traits for selection have evolved
since that time with the addition of new genotypes for the reference population. The
objectives of this study were to define longevity in terms of lifespan and production, to
estimate their heritabilities, an...

China has a rich resource of native sheep (Ovis aries) breeds associated with historical movements of several nomadic societies. However, the history of sheep and the associated nomadic societies in ancient China remains poorly understood. Here, we studied the genomic diversity of Chinese sheep u...
