The relative performance of Mashona, Nkone, Tuli (indigenous breeds), Afrikaner, all these being Sanga type, Charolais, Sussex (Bos Taurus), Brahman (Zebu) and several resultant crosses reared on range in a semi arid environment was assessed. The results showed that indigenous cattle are consider...

A multi-country study was initiated in 1996 to collate, and to generate data to estimate response to feed and health inputs in indigenous cattle to be used in input-output predictive models. Results on two experiments are Reported. At ILRI Ibadan (Trial 1), 4 groups each to 5 lactating Bunaji cow...

Camels are important resource for the desert-dwelling communities. They are a source of income, milk and meat and often play an important sociocultural role in pastoralist societies. In order to help formulate a rational conservation, utilisation and Development policy for the species in Kenya, a...

Research in Kenya has confirmed that Red Maasai sheep are more resistant to gastrointestinal parasites than Dorper sheep and has shown that Small East African goats are more resistant than Galla goats. There is no difference in resistance between the Menz and Horro sheep breeds in Ethiopia. Herit...

This paper summarises the adaptive traits of indigenous livestock breeds, presents a case for their improvement and outlines possible utilization strategies. Though the adaptive attributes of indigenous breeds of other species recognised, the discussion concentrates mainly on cattle. The discussi...

Galluzzi, GeaLapena, I.[Guatemala: community seed reserves restore maize diversity]Guatemala: community seed reserves restore maize diversity

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) improvement and adaptation to emerging environmental and climatic threats is hampered by the limited amount of allelic variation included in its elite breeding pool. It is therefore a priority to identify adaptive traits by exploring germplasm from dif...
