3. Project 1:
Improving the livelihoods of smallholders through implementation of
sustainable small ruminant (goats) improvement programs
Objective(s)
Compile the state of knowledge on Ethiopian goat populations to
identify traits of economic importance (reproduction, growth, age
at maturity, disease and parasites resistances) to be targeted and
plan field studies for selecting study regions and goat populations;
Characterize selected Ethiopian goat breeds both at morphological
and molecular levels for economic importance traits;
Undertake association mapping to identify diagnostic markers to be
used in marker assisted selection (MAS) breeding program;
Strengthen NARS through human resource capacity development
for enhancing technology generation and transfer. 3
