Resistant Breeds | CCARDESA In the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, local breeds are more resistant to many of the pests and diseases and may be the best option for some farmers in the Arid and semi-arid areas of the region
Animal genetic resources and resistance to disease However, for many of the diseases in question, evidence is available in the scientific literature for differential disease resistance or tolerance among livestock breeds (see examples in Table 31)
Livestock Breeding for Disease Resistance: A Perspective Review The literature is filled with references of indigenous animals and poultry being resistant to many diseases Keeping this in view, the current review has been written to highlight sustainable and feasible methods for breeding them for disease resistance
The genetic diversity of local african chickens: A potential for . . . Despite the ongoing threat of infectious disease and dynamic of diseases epidemiology attributed by climate change, little has been done to harness the genetic potential of local African chicken ecotypes to breed for resistant traits
Genetic modification to improve disease resistance in crops Plant pathogens are a significant challenge in agriculture despite our best efforts to combat them One of the most effective and sustainable ways to manage plant pathogens is to use genetic modification (GM) and genome editing, expanding the breeder's toolkit
Understanding Genetic Resistance and Its Role in Disease Control By selecting animals with a higher genetic resistance to specific diseases, breeders can reduce the prevalence of these diseases in a population over time Genetic resistance can be the result of adaptation to a particular pathogen or disease-causing agent
Exploring the Connection Between Plant Genetics and Disease Resistance Disease resistance in plants is a complex trait influenced by numerous genetic factors Understanding these genetic components allows scientists to identify resistant varieties and breed crops that can withstand various pathogens
Resistant Breeds Step 2: Select animals of higher general disease resistance (resistance to several diseases) using a heritable antibodies Step 3: Keep record of good performing animals; unhealthy or easily prone of weak animals should not be be castrated leaving best specimen to breed in subsequent seasons
