Optimizing breeding structures and related management in community-based goat breeding programs in the Borana pastoral system of Ethiopia
The study simulated different potential breeding programs to design the optimal breeding structure and operational management structure for Borana goat. It evaluated different scenarios using ZPLAN+ software to maximize the genetic gain, discounted profit and to determine the optimum size of the bas...
