The project focus is to improve Livestock Productivity through Enhanced Breeding Programs by applying Goat Genomics advances.  The Project include the following activities:

• Develop goat genome sequence as a research tool/resource
• Developing tools to characterize breed structure and geographic distribution in caprina genome
• Develop genotype/phenotype programs for selective breeding
• Identify teams and methods for implementing breeding
• Develop a short policy paper that will guide the planning and implementation of the objectives of this research group
• Collaborate with specialized groups such as international goat genome consortium to develop genomic breeding tools.
• Use community-based breeding programs to enhance breeding
