Abstract

The project aims to provide genomic data on livestock populations in Africa and Asia, and improved genomic references. The aim of our work is to translate modern genomic tools that are widely-applied in genetic improvement in western livestock to cost-effective genotyping tools and breeding strategies for improved animals that can be made available to small-holder farmers.
