The small east african shorthorn zebu cows in Kenya. I: linear body measurements.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Jan 2006

Abstract excerpt

Assessment of genetic diversity is a prerequisite for the management and conservation of animal genetic resources. Appropriate design of breeding programmes is therefore impossible for breeds that have not been adequately characterized either phenotypically and/or genetically. Phenotypic characteristics are important in breed identification and classification in ways that farming communities can relate with. This...
