Genetic and morphological characterisation of the Ankole Longhorn cattle in the African Great Lakes region
The study investigated the population structure, diversity and differentiation of almost all of the ecotypes representing the African Ankole Longhorn cattle breed on the basis of morphometric (shape and size), genotypic and spatial distance data. Twentyone morphometric measurements were used to desc...
