Genetic variation in feed efficiency may have a significant impact on sheep production in integrated crop livestock
farming systems in dry areas, where the shortage and poor quality of feed is widespread. Thus, the present study
was carried out to...

A chickpea simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker reference kit has been developed based on the
genotyping of the global chickpea composite collection (3,000 accessions) with 35 SSR markers.
The kit consists of three pools of chickpea accessions along...

This paper assesses rural households’ decision to use improved maize varieties in Malawi and examines its impact on household welfare using a three-year household panel data. The distributional effect of maize technology adoption is investigated by...

This study aims to develop at different seasons, for local North
African Maure goats, synchronizing protocols simultaneously
to the standard ‘S’ protocol using progestagens in association
with prostaglandins and gonadotropin. In late May, 40 goats...

Pedigree recording and genetic selection in village flocks of smallholder farmers have been deemed infeasible by researchers and development workers. This is mainly due to the difficulty of sire identification under uncontrolled village breeding...

Understanding the genetic relationships and diversity of Ethiopian lentil in relation to lentil from other countries is important
in attempting to widen the genetic base of germplasm in the country. The objectives of this study were to generate...

Comparative performance of the stable isotope signatures of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in assessing early vigour and grain yield in durum wheat – CORRIGENDUM
