Okeno. D. L. M., Muasya T. O., Mburu, J. N.,   Abstract It was reasoned that, incorporating reproductive technologies and genomic selection in the  current dairy goats breeding programme would generate higher response to selection compared to use of natural…

Gama, P.B.S. Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is an important grain legume as well as a potential bio-resource crop (source of vegetable oil). However, drought is one of the environmental stress that affects not only crop yield and growth but…

Lukou et al., Abstract Glossina fuscipes fuscipes remain the main tsetse vectors of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense that causes Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) in South Sudan, where HAT Control Strategy does not involve vector control component. Information on the fly apparent…

Lukou, Y. S., Abdelrahman, M. M., Mohammed, Y. O., Jumi, L. G., Ochi, E. B., Suliman, Y. R., & Elrayah, I. E. Abstract Glossina fuscipes fuscipes continue to be the primary tsetse vectors of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, the cause of Human African Trypanosomiasis…

by Tony Ngalamu et al,. Abstract Cowpea is an important food crop with high nutritional and socio-economical values in South Sudan. However, the lack of improved varieties is one of the main production constraints. This study was undertaken to assess…

Demaya, G.S et al., ABSTRACT Tortoise ecology is poorly studied in East Africa. Here, using two terrestrial Testudinidae (Stigmochelys pardalis and Kinixys belliana) as study models, we (i) present basic demographic characteristics (sex-ratio, and density), (ii) describe correlates of their…

Serafino M. A. A. et al.,   Abstract Background Diarrhea represents one of the most frequent major problems during piglets’ neonatal and post-weaning periods leading to tremendous economic losses in the swine industry. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) F4 is regarded as the…

Through long term natural and artificial selection, domestic sheep (Ovis aries) have become adapted to a diverse range of agro-ecological environments and display multiple phenotypic traits. Characterization of diversity and selection signature is essential for genetic improvement, understanding of environmental…

Serafino M. A. A. et al.,  Abstract Background: Mastitis in dairy cows caused by Staphylococcus aureus is a major problem hindering economic growth in dairy farms worldwide. It is difficult to prevent or eliminate due to its asymptomatic nature and long persistence of…
