A systematic review of guinea fowl diversity and its economic, socio-cultural and ecological significance in Africa.

Tropical animal health and production - 3 Nov 2025

Rahman Salifu Fallalu, Baccouri Wissem, Wanjala George

Abstract excerpt

Guinea fowls (Numida meleagris), native to Africa and domesticated over 2000 years ago, provide an important yet underrecognized domestic avian genetic resource. They play a crucial role in enhancing Africa’s rural food security, generating revenue, and sustaining socio-cultural activities in many African countries. This study analyzes existing literature about the genetic and phenotypic diversity of guinea fowl...
