Genetic Parameter Estimates for Milk Yield, Udder and Body Conformation Traits of Jersey Cattle in the New Derived Guinea Savannah Zone of Nigeria

Rufina Obioma Okeke, Suleiman Ibrahim Onotu, Olaolu Tosin Olufemi, Hassan Yohanna Abbaya, Louis Ugwu, Makka Nuhu & Oludayo Michael Akinsola · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2018

Despite the huge potential of utilising Jersey cattle as diary animals in the tropical countries, the genetic basis of the relationship between milk yield and conformation traits has been scarcely described in the literature especially in West Africa. This trial therefore set a l...

Investigating Level of Inbreeding and Its Effects on Productive Traits of Napri X Broiler Chickens

Adejoh-Ubani Elizabeth Ojoma, Rufina Obioma Okeke, Edward Christopher Dung, Biola Lisa Bodamisi, Suleiman Ibrahim Onotu, Stanley David Oziegbe & Danjuma Reuben Tom · Asian Research Journal of Agriculture · 2022

Inbreeding refers to the mating together of individuals that are more closely related than would be the case if mating was at random. In this study, we investigate inbreeding and its effect on productive traits in NAPRI X broiler chickens. Traits measured were bodyweight and morp...

Preliminary Investigation of Haemoglobin Polymorphism among Indigenous Cattle in North Western Nigeria

Bunjah Umar Danladi, Adejoh-Ubani Elizabeth Ojoma, Rufina Obioma Okeke, Edward Christopher Dung, Japheth Joel Kalang, Danjuma Reuben Tom & Stanley David Oziegbe · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering · 2022

The goal of this research was to identify the genetic pool of the Bunaji and Sokoto-Gudali cows using haemoglobin (Hb) polymorphism. Blood samples were collected from a total of 150 mature Bunaji, Sokoto-Gudali and HolsteinXBunaji cows in north western Nigeria. To reveal the band...
