Identification of breeding objectives for Begait goat in western Tigray, North Ethiopia.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Dec 2018

Abraham Hagos, Gizaw Solomon, Urge Mengistu

Abstract excerpt

A sound breeding objective is the basis for genetic improvement in overall economic merit of farm animals. Begait goat is one of the identified breeds in Ethiopia, which is a multipurpose breed as it serves as source of cash income and source of food (meat and milk). Despite its importance, no formal breeding objectives exist for Begait goat. The objective of the present study was to identify breeding objectives...
