Monitoring of Sahiwal and Friesian cattle genetic improvement programmes in Kenya
Livestock genetic improvement programmes aim at identifying superior animals for specific traits and allowing only these animals to be parents of the next generation. The use of genetically superior animals is expected to result in improvements in the efficiency of production, which in turn ensures...
