Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health

About Us

Tackling global challenges through genetic improvements in tropical livestock

Livestock systems are a major component of agriculture in tropical regions and livestock keeping is a pivotal element of food security, nutrition and income generation for smallholder farmers in virtually all low and middle-income countries.

A global partnership to deliver genetic gains for tropical livestock development

As a global research alliance, CTLGH is empowered by its partners to convene, coordinate and communicate the outputs, outcomes and impact of their portfolio of collaborative research projects. 

Improving livestock productivity in tropical climates

The common research interests of our strategic partners span a wide diversity of funded projects in the broad area of tropical livestock genetics and health.
