Characterization of sheep populations of Kenya using microsatellite markers: Implications for conservation and management of indigenous sheep populations
Indigenous sheep of Kenya are very important to resource-poor farmers and pastoralists. They have over time adapted to the harsh environmental conditions of the arid and semi-arid lands where they are faced with challenges of persistent droughts, diseases, conflicts and poor nutrition, yet show resi...
