Congruence between selection on breeding values and farmers' selection criteria in sheep breeding under conventional nucleus breeding schemes
Designing breeding schemes suitable for smallholder livestock production systems in developing regions has hitherto been a challenge. The suggested schemes either do not address farmers' breeding goals (centralized ...
Reproductive Performances and Survival of Washera Sheep under Traditional Management Systems at Yilmanadensa and Quarit Districts of the Amhara National Regional State, Ethiopia
On-farm data were collected to evaluate reproductive performance and survival of Washera sheep raised under traditional smallholder production systems in the North-Western highlands of the Amhara National Regional State, ...
The Goat and Goat Production Systems of Small-Scale Producers of the Comarca Lagunera, in Northern Mexico
A baseline study was conducted in the Comarca Lagunera in the North of Mexico to evaluate the potential for implementation of a breeding program. A questionnaire was applied to 64 producers to document the production system. ...
Discordances between morphological systematics and molecular taxonomy in the stem line of equids: A review of the case of taxonomy of genus Equus
This paper revises the evolutionary history of the stem root of the genus Equus from Eocene period (54 million years before present, MYBP) to present. It also assesses molecular taxonomy and evolutionary relationships of ...
Community-based alternative breeding plans for indigenous sheep breeds in four agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia
Based on the results of participatory approaches to define traits in the breeding objectives, four scenarios of ram selection and ram use were compared via deterministic modelling of breeding plans for community-based sheep ...
