Participatory definition of trait preferences for designing village breeding schemes for goats in harsh environments of Ethiopia
There is critical need to improve productivity of indigenous goat breeds in order to sustain supply of food and income to communities living in harsher areas that are coming to relay more and more on the drought tolerant commodity; goats, due to changing climate. To this end, a community-based goat...
