Animal Breeding Genomic Selection for Improved Animal health: A review of challenges and opportunities in Zimbabwe

2021-01-04

Abstract excerpt

Although Zimbabwe has a wealth of livestock genetic resources and mostly are quite agriculturally dependent, there exist clear limitations and challenges regarding animal recording, genetic improvement, production efficiency and the implementation of new technologies, such as genomic selection (GS). Genomic selection incorporates genomic information with phenotypic information (breeding values) to derive genomic e...
