Use of SNP genotyping to determine pedigree and breed composition of dairy cattle in Kenya
High levels of inbreeding in East African dairy cattle are a potential concern because of use of a limited range of imported germplasm coupled with strong selection, especially by disease, and sparse performance recording. To address this, genetic relationships and breed composition in an admixed po...
