African Cattle Genomics Exchange

First stakeholder engagement

• This is the first stakeholder engagement of the Dairy Genomics Program of the Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health  – on Cattle Genomics in Africa

  The Dairy Genomics Program of the newly established Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health (CTLGH) aims to facilitate the application of genomics to cattle in the Tropics, and particularly Africa. This will be achieved through:

  • a stakeholder engagement process to identify key applications that will lead to improving the livelihoods of the rural poor in Africa, and advocacy on these;
  • supporting the developing of tools and methodological approaches;
  • capacity building;
  • and partnering in research and resource mobilisaion.

  For more on the Dairy Genomics Program of CTLGH see www.CTLGH.org website and the ILRI project profile.

  We welcome your input into this process through this forum – which will focus on:

  • current and future applications of genomics to cattle in Africa: Potential role of genomics
  • which breeds to prioritise for inclusion in a Genomics Information Resource for African cattle (a publically available set of sequence information on cattle breeds in Africa): Genomics reference resource
