Community-based livestock breeding programmes : essentials and examples
Mueller, Joaquin Pablo; Rischkowsky, Barbara; Haile, Aynalem; Philipsson, J.; Mwai, O.; Besbes, B.; Valle Zárate, A.; Tibbo, M.; Mirkena, T.; Duguma, G.; Sölkner, J.; Wurzinger, M. (2015-04)Breeding programmes described as community-based (CBBP) typically relate to low-input systems with farmers having a common interest to improve and share their genetic resources. CBBPs are more frequent with keepers of small ... -

An innovative ... -
Community‐based breeding programmes are a viable solution for Ethiopian small ruminant genetic improvement but require public and private investments
Haile, Aynalem; Gizaw, Solomon; Getachew, Tesfaye; Mueller, Joaquin Pablo; Amer, Peter; Rekik, Mourad; Rischkowsky, Barbara (Wiley Online Library, 2019-04)Ethiopia has a large and diverse population of small ruminants, which contribute substantially to the livelihood and income of the rural poor and the country at large. However, the sector faces a number of challenges. ... -
Converting multi-trait breeding objectives into operative selection indexes to ensure genetic gains in low-input sheep and goat breeding programmes
Mueller, Joaquin Pablo; Getachew, Tesfaye; Rekik, Mourad; Rischkowsky, Barbara; Abate, Zelalem; Wondim, B.; Haile, Aynalem (Elsevier, 2021-05)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 ... -
Do Texas Angora bucks improve mohair weight and quality traits of Tajik Angora goats?
Mueller, Joaquin Pablo; Kosimov, M.A.; Kosimov, F.F.; Brent, L.; Nishanov, N.; Rischkowsky, Barbara (2016)Productores de angora en Tajikistán del Norte levantan alrededor de 200,000 cabras De angora y productos alrededor de 300 toneladas de mohair. ¿Hay aproximadamente 500 productores pequeños, medios y más grandes con 100-500 ... -
Evaluation of mohair quality in Angora goats from the Northern dry lands of Tajikistan
Kosimov, F.F.; Kosimov, M.A.; Rischkowsky, Barbara; Mueller, Joaquin Pablo (2013-06)Mohair quality of Angora goats in the Sogd Province of Tajikistan was assessed in spring and autumn 2007 and 2008 by inspecting and sampling a total of 797 goats of both sexes, different ages and several coat colors from ... -
Genetic progress and economic benefit of community-based breeding programs for sheep out- and upscaling options in Ethiopia
Mueller, Joaquin Pablo; Haile, Aynalem; Getachew, Tesfaye; Rekik, Mourad; Rischkowsky, Barbara (Elsevier, 2019-08)In this study, expected genetic progress and economic benefits from implementing three community-based breeding programs for sheep (CBBP) out- and upscaling strategies were investigated. Strategy 1 is to replicate average ... -
Going to scale—From community-based to population-wide genetic improvement and commercialized sheep meat supply in Ethiopia
