Five-year, US$17.4m funding enables Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health to focus on bringing research-driven benefits to farmers in low- and middle-income countries.
From 22 to 27 May 2022, in collaboration with the Tanzania Livestock Research Institute (TALIRI), CTLGH completed the third and last session of the GCRF-STARS programme.
A section of DNA found to protect native African cattle against East Coast fever could safeguard breeds introduced to the region.
Information on the genetic code of relevant species could help ensure more resilient and sustainable food production in Africa.
Research-driven advances in genomic selection will count for little unless they are locally adopted and adapted by livestock breeders and producers.
Advances in genome wide scanning technologies and computational capacity have increased the range of tools available to researchers seeking to detect patterns of single nucleotide polymorphisms…
Genomic selection for enhanced productivity and resilience traits in tropical livestock requires an understanding of the links between genome-wide SNP signatures of selection, the adaptive pressures…
