Development of a standardized multiplex SSR kit for genotyping both goats and sheep
03 novembre 2021, HE CondorcetCARAHArticle scientifique"In this technical note, we report the development of a reliable standardized protocol based on the multiplex SSRPCR approach for genotyping the two small ruminant species, goats and sheep. The method is based on PCR conditions optimization allowing 12 informative microsatellites (SSR) markers to be co-amplified in two multiplex sets of 6 SSR markers, followed by a co-migration into one run onto a ... -
Genetic diversity and spatial structure of indigenous sheep population of Benin revealed by microsatellite markers
12 août 2022, HE CondorcetCARAHArticle scientifique"This study investigated the genetic variability existing within the indigenous sheep population of Benin. Hair samples from 681 unrelated sheep collected across the 10 phytogeographic zones of Benin were genotyped using a set of 12 microsatellite markers" Extrait de l'abstract -
Genetic diversity assessment of the indigenous goat population of Benin using microsatellite markers
17 mars 2023, HE CondorcetArticle scientifiqueAbstract : "Improved knowledge of the diversity within and among local animal populations is increasingly necessary for their sustainable management. Accordingly, this study assessed the genetic diversity and structure of the indigenous goat population of Benin. Nine hundred and fifty-four goats were sampled across the three vegetation zones of Benin [i.e., Guineo-Congolese zone (GCZ), Guineo-Sudanian ... -
Growth performance, carcass characteristics, fatty acid profile, and meat quality of male goat kids supplemented by alternative feed resources: bitter vetch and sorghum grains
07 octobre 2024, HE CondorcetArticle scientifiqueAbstract : Bitter vetch and sorghum grains are alternative local feed resources that are underutilized in the southern Mediterranean area. This study aimed to assess the effects of incorporating these grains into the diet of local goat breeds on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality. Twenty-four goat kids were divided into three groups. The control group received a conventional ... -
Morphological variability within the indigenous sheep population of Benin
19 octobre 2021, HE CondorcetArticle scientifiqueKnowledge of both the genetic diversity and geographical distribution of animal genetic resources is a prerequisite for their sustainable utilization, improvement and conservation. The present study was undertaken to explore the current morphological variability within the sheep population in Benin as a prelude for their molecular characterization. From November 2018 to February 2020, 25 quantitative ...
