Community-based sheep breeding programs generated substantial genetic gains and socioeconomic benefit
(Elsevier, 2020)Community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) for small ruminants have been suggested as alternatives to centralised, government-controlled breeding schemes which have been implemented in many developing countries. An innovative ... -
Converting multi-trait breeding objectives into operative selection indexes to ensure genetic gains in low-input sheep and goat breeding programmes
(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 ... -
Genetic progress and economic benefit of community-based breeding programs for sheep out- and upscaling options in Ethiopia
(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 ... -
How to succeed in implementing community-based breeding programs: Lessons from the field in Eastern and Southern Africa
(Frontiers Media, 2023-03)Breeding programs involving either centralized nucleus schemes and/or importation of exotic germplasm for crossbreeding were not successful and sustainable in most Africa countries. Community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) ... -
Three easy fixes for sire use can enhance genetic progress in community-based breeding programmes
(Wiley, 2021)We analysed options to optimize the use of sires in sheep and goat community-based breeding programmes (CBBP) for three scenarios occurring under field conditions: premature sale of selection candidates, fixed service ...
