Availability of genetic resources for milk production in developing countries, with special reference to sub-Saharan Africa
A new approach for capacity building, "training the trainers", addressing university faculty and other NARS scientists in developing countries, has been implemented to strengthen the sustainable use of Animal Genetic Resources (AnGR) through improved research and teaching. The project is carried ...

Mixed models have important advantages as compared to fixed effects models. Complex data structures can be described in a natural way in mixed models. The analysis of unbalanced data is a straightforward extension of the analysis of balanced data in the mixed model framework. Furthermore, the app...

Delivering systematic information on indigenous farm animal genetic resources of developing countries: The Development and prospects of DAGRIS. Oral Presentation
This paper addresses issues related to the role that livestock research can play in strategies that make up this framework for action, and especially its effective linkage with technology transfer efforts. The experience that ILRI brings to these discussions is mainly from Africa. Topics covered ...
Explains range administration, its objectives & sources of information; suggests a programme for information processing, priorities of importance in information and some useful techniques for collecting and analysing information; examines the influence of providing information on results, and dis...
