Abstract excerpt

Indigenous cattle account for approximately 80% of Uganda's cattle population. These animals are well adapted to the country's ten agroecological zones and are mainly kept under pastoral and agropastoral systems. Unlike commercial breeds, they thrive on low-quality feeds, while tolerating major tropical diseases and parasites including tsetse flies, ticks, and vector-borne infections. Whole-genome sequence (WGS)...
