1683 Genome-wide association analysis of residual feed intake and milk yield in dairy goats
(Oxford University Press, 2016-10-01)
Interest in both dairy and meat goat production in the US has been increasing, and there is tremendous opportunity for genetic progress in traits that are easy to measure (e.g., milk yield) and those that are more difficult ...

Non-genetic sources of variation and temporal variability in growth and feed efficiency traits among phylogenetically distinct clusters of indigenous chicken in Kenya
(Springer Netherlands, 2016-12-01)
This study aims to investigate the influence of non-genetic factors on feed efficiency
in indigenous chicken. Residual feed intake (RFI), residual gain (RG) and residual intake
and gain (RIG) were used as measures of ...
Dairy production systems and the adoption of genetic and breeding technologies in Tanzania, Kenya, India and Nicaragua
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-12)
Summary Development of the livestock industry and its role in poverty alleviation in
developing countries depends on how adaptive the production systems are to changing
global environmental and economic trends. This ...
Participatory epidemiological assessment of factors that limit indigenous chicken productivity under free range system in south western Kenya
(Livestock Research for Rural Development P, 2016)
This study used participatory epidemiology (PE) tools and laboratory investigations to assess the factor(s) that limit the productivity of the free-ranged indigenous chickens in south western Kenya. The study was conducted ...

Variation and Repeatability of Natural Antibodies Against Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin of Indigenous Chicken of Kenya
(2016-10-21)
The immune system is designed to provide protection to the body by combating a plethora of pathogenic micro-organisms. Identifying animals with a natural ability to make superior immune responses reduces disease occurrences, ...
