Ethiopia is endowed with huge traditional sheep populations spread across diverse ecology and production systems. We investigate genome-wide genetic diversity and population structure of eight Ethiopian Sheep populations genotyped with Illumina Ovine 50K SNP BeadChip assay. Mean genetic diversity...

Muturu cattle, mostly found nowadays in Nigeria, have been classified as an endangered cattle population due to the rapid decline in their population size. They are among the shorthorn West African B. taurus trypanotolerance cattle. Here, we report candidate signature of positive selection obtain...

Domesticated in the tropical humid and sub-humid areas of Asia, the indigenous domestic chickens are now found in all agro-ecologies across the world - including temperate, cold, hot and dry environments - where they sustain the livelihood of millions of small-holder farmers. Despite this, the un...

The red jungle fowl Gallus gallus is the main progenitor of domestic chicken, the commonest livestock species, outnumbering humans by an approximate ratio of six to one. The genetic control for production traits have been well studied in commercial chicken, but the selection pressures underlying ...

Indigenous chicken makes most of the world’s poultry genetic diversity particularly in developing countries. These local breeds, which are well- adapted to extensive husbandry systems and suitable for resource-poor poultry farmers endowed with very limited means, should be thoroughly studied as a...

The with-in selection also known as mass-selection has been considered as the less complex approach being applied for many years in livestock species and yielded significant genetic gains. In Africa, the extent to which mass- selection applied in the genetic improvement of chicken for better perf...

Autor: Trail, J.C.M.

Describes briefly the main ecological zones of Africa w. examples of the general types of cattle that can be maintained. Assesses the contributions of past research work in breed evaluation. Reports examples of breed characterization studies that highlight the value of such work for each of the t...
