Integrating genetic and genomic analyses of combined health data across ecotypes to improve disease resistance in indigenous African chickens
Poultry play an important role in the agriculture of many African countries. The majority of chickens in sub-Saharan Africa are indigenous, raised in villages under semi-scavenging conditions. Vaccinations and biosecurity measures rarely apply, and infectious diseases remain a major cause of mortali...
