Conservation priorities for Ethiopian sheep breeds combining threat status, breed merits and contributions to genetic diversity.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

Prioritizing livestock breeds for conservation needs to incorporate both genetic and non-genetic aspects important for the survival of the breeds. Here, we apply a maximum-utility-strategy to prioritize 14 traditional Ethiopian sheep breeds based on their threat status, contributions to farmer livelihoods (current breed merits) and contributions to genetic diversity. Contributions of the breeds to genetic...
