With the livestock sector being both a victim and contributor (through GHG emissions), improving livestock genetics provides a double-edged solution that can enhance the adaptability of animals while reducing their emissions. Programs such as the Africa Dairy Genetics Gain(ADGG) and Enviro-cow are supporting livestock breeding initiatives by developing tailored strategies informed by data on animal genetics and testing of animal products eg milk composition. In doing so, livestock with desired characteristics are identified and their genetic material is conserved and distributed through AI or community-breeding programs. Combined with efforts to improve access to and consumption of crucial animal products such as milk, such initiatives also help address the undernourishment which is highly prevalent in low-income countries while also improving economic gains from dairy. The African Chicken Genetic Gains/ Tropical Poultry Genetic Solutions has also been focusing on the genetics, feed, health and financial aspects of the poultry value chains.
