Abstract excerpt
Owing to increasing scientific and agricultural interest in the disease-resistant (trypanotolerant), indigenous cattle breeds of West and Central Africa, there is a need for a rational genetically based description of populations in the region. The greatest threat to the invaluable genetic resour...
