Technical guideline for reproductive biotechnologies of sheep and goat in Ethiopia
Reproductive biotechnology in animal production is widely used to increase production, reproductive efficiency and rates of
genetic improvement (Madan, 2005). According to NRC (2003), animal production biotechnology is ...
Business Model: Supply of Livestock Inputs - Shaya Women's Sheep Fattening Youth Cooperative
In most countries, agricultural inputs are mainly sold by private sector businesses. Lack of livestock production inputs is a core problem particularly for livestock farmers in Ethiopia. This is due to the limited number ...
Impact Evaluation of Gender Capacity Development of Livestock CRP Research and Development Partners in Ethiopia
This Gender Capacity Development (GCD) Impact Evaluation (IE) Survey involved three Development and Research Partners whose staff members participated in two GCD trainings organized by ICARDA in 2016 and 2017. The IE ...
Estimation of (co)variance components, genetic parameters, and genetic trends of growth traits in community-based breeding programs of Bonga sheep
Community-based sheep breeding programs (CBBPs) have been adopted strategically to improve Bonga
sheep, the most popular sheep breed in Ethiopia. The present study was undertaken to estimate genetic
parameters and genetic ...
Yabello goat precipitation similarity in Ethiopia
This map was prepared for Livestock and fish CRP project for Mapping breeds to appropriate production environments: a case study of Ethiopian indigenous sheep and goats. Yabello goat precipitation similarity in Ethiopia ...
Community-based breeding programs for small ruminants in pastoral production systems
The small ruminant production system in Ethiopia is predominantly at the subsistence level
with very low productivity despite a huge potential due to the large animal numbers and
genetic diversity. Growing market demand ...
Gender, livestock rearing, rangeland use, and climate change adaptation in Tunisia
Women’s contributions to rangeland cultivation and management in Tunisia, and the effects of climate change upon women’s livelihoods, are both policy blind spots. Despite women’s growing participation in rangeland management, ...
Converting multi-trait breeding objectives into operative selection indexes to ensure genetic gains in low-input sheep and goat breeding programmes
Small ruminant breeding programmes in low-input production systems are best organised at the community level. Participant farmers have to agree on goal traits and their relative importance. When BLUP breeding values of ...
Seroprevalence of anti‐Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis antibodies in female sheep in Tunisia
Paratuberculosis (Ptb) is a widespread chronic infection caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) that affects both domestic and wild ruminants. Most of the studies focused on cattle while, the prevalence ...
Reproduction of Sheep and Goats: Fecundity Improvement Packages
This presentation is part of presentation series which goes through the physiological and practical basis to set up a reproductive platform as a support tool for the scaling of community-based breeding programs.
