Summary of discussion to-date on the topic: Do you consider building a genomics reference resource for African cattle to be a worthwhile investment – why or why not?
In favour?

Karen Marshall – forum organiser wrote a new post, Future applications of genomics in African livestock systems 5 years, 5 months ago
What genetic or genomic applications have the most potential to positively impact on the rural poor in Africa – in the near future and longer term?
Main themes discussed on this topic to-date are:
The need fo […]

The summary appears to me to be right on the ball – don’t try to run before you can walk. I am concerned that the genomic/phenotypic information is more likely to come from institutional herds not managed as the local population – this is likely to be less relevant under fuure management conditions given the effects of climate change on diet etc

Thanks! Under the ‘discuss-using’ forum there has been discussion on linking institutional herd data with data from farmers, for the reasons you suggested. And also discussion on how we can help facilitate farmer recording, to strengthen farm data.

Dear colleagues,
Today we are launching our discussion. During the coming two weeks we will focus on:
Current and future applications of genomics to cattle in Africa – in particular, which applications a […]

Looking forward to participating in the web forum. Great initiative!

In line with the comment of Yakubu mojid, yes their quite some research work done on cattle genomics in Africa but when you take them into consideration they were all trying to characterise them into groups with little or no any work with objective or aim for improvement using molecular techniques.much of the research works done were more on poultry and aquaculture.

Good morning dear colleagues,
Let me start by appreciating those who put this platform in place; you have done a good job. I wish to urge us to take some effort to place genomics properly in the perspectives and peculiarities of cattle husbandry systems in Africa. The bulk of the cattle in the region are kept under various pastoral systems that need modifications for molecular genetical technologies to be optimally exploited.
