Towards a better understanding of breeding objectives and production performance of dairy cattle in sub-Saharan Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis by Chawala, A.R., Okeyo Mwai, Ally, Peters, A., Banos, Giorgios, Chagunda, Mizeck G.G.

“…Milk content (fat and protein percentages), temperament, body conformation and total milk cell count (a mastitis indicator) were rarely mentioned in published literature, mainly because of milk pricing policies being volume based. Frequency and multivariate analyses (cluster data analysis) for desirable animal traits suggested that multiple breeding objectives are needed, based on the perceived goals of different farmers and institutions towards genetic improvement for production, reproduction, disease resistance and functional and animal welfare traits. …”

FTA Highlight No.2 – Tree Seed and Seedling Systems for Resilience and Productivity by Graudal, L., Lillesø, Jens-Peter B., Dawson, Ian K., Abiyu, A., Roshetko, J.M., Nyoka, I., Tsobeng, A., Kindt, R., Pedercini, F., Moestrup, S., Jalonen, R., Thomas, E., McMullin, S., Carsan, S., Hendre, P., Kettle, Christopher J., Li, Y.X., Jamnadass, Ramni

“…The work of the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA) on tree seed systems — the authors’ shorthand for the means through which growers obtain access to tree-planting materials, either seeds or seedlings — has sought to address significant constraints in the diversity and genetic quality of the tree seeds and seedlings that are being supplied. These concerns are exacerbated by an increase in demand for germplasm to meet huge global forest landscape restoration commitments and other tree-planting targets. …”
