Abstract:
The National Livestock Resources Research Institute (NaLIRRI) generates technologies to improve livestock productivity with the aim to increase meat and milk yields and income for poverty reduction. Goats contribute significantly to the livestock sector in Uganda. During the past decades, goat populations in Uganda have increased rapidly from 3.9 million estimated in 1990, 5.7 million in 1996 to 12.5 million in 2009
