Accuracy of pastoralists’ memory-based kinship assignment of Ankole cattle: a microsatellite DNA analysis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-06)
This study aimed to estimate the level of relatedness within Ankole cattle herds using autosomal microsatellite markers and to assess the accuracy of relationship assignment based on farmers’ memory. Eight cattle populations ...
Pastoralists' indigenous selection criteria and other breeding practices of the long-horned Ankole cattle in Uganda

The criteria for identification, selection and kinship assignment of Ankole cattle and their roles to pastoralists were studied on 248 farms in Kiboga, Mbarara, Mpigi and Sembabule districts of Uganda using a questionnaire, ...
Genetic diversity and differentiation of Ankole cattle populations in Uganda inferred from microsatellite data
(Elsevier, 2011-01-05)
A total of 304 individuals from eight Ankole cattle populations of Uganda were analysed based on 19 microsatellite markers to investigate genetic diversity, relationships and population structure. Across all loci, 200 ...

Productivity and morphology of Ankole cattle in three livestock production systems in Uganda
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2011)
Phenotypic characterization is critical in breed improvement and conservation. To determine the performance and morphological features of Ankole cattle in three livestock production systems (LPS) of Uganda, 248 farms were ...
The potential of Ankole cattle abattoir ovaries for In Vitro embryo production
(African Journal of Animal and Biomedical Sciences, 2008)
A study was carried out to determine the potential of abattoir ovaries from Ankole cattle cows for in vitro embryo production. Ankole cattle cows (n = 109) due for slaughter at a local abattoir were selected. The body ...
