Comparison of economic impact of alternative constraint control measures in indigenous chicken production in Nyanza Province, Kenya
(CIPAV Foundation, 2013)
This study compared the costs and benefits of six alternative control measures on the indigenous chicken productivity constraints with an aim of identifying the most desirable mitigation measure; for improved productivity ...
Genome-wide association analysis of residual feed intake and milk yield in dairy goats
(Oxford University Press, 2016-10-01)
Interest in both dairy and meat goat production in the US has been increasing, and
there is tremendous opportunity for genetic progress in traits that are easy to measure (eg,
milk yield) and those that are more difficult ...
Non-genetic sources of variation and temporal variability in growth and feed efficiency traits among phylogenetically distinct clusters of indigenous chicken in Kenya
(Springer Netherlands, 2016-12-01)
This study aims to investigate the influence of non-genetic factors on feed efficiency
in indigenous chicken. Residual feed intake (RFI), residual gain (RG) and residual intake
and gain (RIG) were used as measures of ...
Genetic and phenotypic parameters for feed efficiency in indigenous chicken in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)
This study aims to determine the genetic and phenotypic parameters of net feed
efficiency (NFE) traits namely Residual feed intake (RFI), residual gain (RG), and residual
intake and gain (RIG) along the growth curve ...
Determinants of Households’ Market Participation around Community Milk Cooling Plants, Western Kenya
(2018-02-09)
Market participation in sub-Saharan Africa has been assessed mainly based on already producing households by
looking at whether they sold or not, and if they sold, what quantities. The objective of this study was to
determine ...
