If phenomics and genomics could help improve livestock production and productivity, then African countries should not put these at the back burner. We should move away from our current crude ways of…[Read more]

According to a recent report, the demand for high throughput phenotyping may stimulate a migration from conventional laboratory to web-based assessment of performance and behaviour, and this offers the promise of dynamic phenotyping-the iterative refinement of phenotype assays based on prior…[Read more]

Please I am highly interested in your proposed goat project. Please do not forget to include Nigeria.

Support to pastoralism for the management and use of AnGRs in West and Central Africa and 2. Livestock identification and recording in Central and West…[Read more]

If we have to make the best use of our natural endowment, then every aspect of livestock breed composition, production, improvement, traceability, health and marketing must be put into consideration.

Funding is the greatest obstacle. Lack of basic molecular equipment and facilities for cutting-edge researches is another while there is dearth of experts in the field of genetics and genomics. Also, inconsistency in livestock policies by successive governments have made some good projects to collapse midway. Good research products…[Read more]

Through the strong financial backing and political will of African Nations and the support of international funding bodies, we may be able to make a headway.

One of the long-range objectives of the cattle Genome Program is to identify all coding sequences, genes and other functional elements in genomic DNA. Given that physical maps are being rapidly assembled and that the rate of accumulation of large-scale sequence data is increasing, there is a critical…[Read more]
