Effect of different types and levels of errors in sire pedigree on the accuracy of genetic evaluation in crossbred goats
The effects of different types and levels of errors in sire pedigree on genetic variance, heritability, inbreeding coefficient, estimated breeding value, the accuracy of breeding value and the genetic trend were evaluated. ...
Spatial distribution and association of biophysical factors with chickpea chlorotic stunt and pea seed-borne mosaic viruses affecting legume crops in Ethiopia
Food legumes are key commodities produced in sole and mixed cropping system in Ethiopia. Their productivity has been affected recently by virus infections. Field surveys were conducted from 2018/19 to 2021/22 cropping ...
Phenotypic characterization of goat populations of North Shoa and South Wollo zones in Amhara region
Abstract
The study aimed to assess the phenotypic diversity of the local goat populations based on the measurement of qualitative and quantitative traits. The study was conducted in North Shoa and South Wello zones of ...
Diversity between some Ethiopian farmer’s varieties of barley and within these varieties among seed sources
Barley is one of Ethiopia’s major crops. Cultivation is mostly by traditional varieties that are chosen by farmers for their suitability for end-use or their adaptation to specific farming systems. A collection of 155 ...
Reservoir sedimentation evaluation using remote sensing and GIS approaches for the reservoirs in the upper Blue Nile Basin
The present study aimed to evaluate the temporal dynamics of water stored in a reservoir using satellite remote sensing data integrated with a GIS application. The study is carried out in three reservoirs, which include ...
Effect of genotype and environment on the productive and survivability traits of lambs under a community-based management system
The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth and survival of local and Dorper crossbred lambs managed under a community-based management system, using data collected between 2012 and 2021. The fixed effects considered ...
Unveiling the genetic basis of Fusarium wilt resistance in chickpea using GWAS analysis and characterization of candidate genes
Introduction: Chickpea is a legume crop that thrives in regions with semi-arid or temperate climates. Its seeds are an excellent source of proteins, carbohydrates, and minerals, especially high-quality proteins. Chickpea ...
Trends in Rainfall and Temperature Extremes in Ethiopia: Station and Agro-Ecological Zone Levels of Analysis
Climate extreme events have been observed more frequently since the 1970s throughout Ethiopia, which adversely affects the socio-economic development of the country, as its economy depends on agriculture, which, in turn, ...
Genetic diversity and within-breed variation in three indigenous Ethiopian sheep based on whole-genome analysis
The objective of this work was to study genetic diversity by comparing whole genome sequence data of Rutana, Gumuz and Washera sheep found in Amhara and Benishanguel gumuz regional states of Ethiopia. We employed variant ...
Candidate signatures of positive selection for environmental adaptation in indigenous African cattle: A review
Environmental adaptation traits of indigenous African cattle are increasingly being investigated to respond to the need for sustainable livestock production in the context of unpredictable climatic changes. Several studies ...
