Assessment of feed resources for ruminant production in northern region of Ghana por Wachiebene, S.K.

“…Moreover, leaf stripping by maize-maturity type’s interaction and its main effects had no significant effect on crude protein, neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre, metabolizable energy, and in vitro organic matter digestibility The study recommends that crop-livestock farmers are encouraged to cultivate groundnut at a spacing of 30x15cm to obtain the highest results with regards to fodder yield, grain yield and growth performance of sheep. Moreover, farmers adopt the technology of leaf stripping to solve the perennial feed challenges encountered during the rainy season.…”

“…Finally, we show that imputation from low-density arrays can perform almost as well as HD arrays, if a two-stage imputation approach is adopted, i.e. first imputing to HD and then to WGS, which can potentially reduce the costs of GWAS.Our results show that the choice of an array should be based on a balance between the objective of the study and the breed/population considered, with the HD and BOS1 arrays being the best choice for both taurine and indicine breeds when performing GWAS, and the GGPF250 being preferable for fine-mapping studies. …”
