Environmental trade-offs and policy recommendations for livestock intensification in the Northwest Highlands of Vietnam
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/158403
Abstract
The Northwest Highlands (NWH) of Vietnam have great potential for livestock development because of their favorable climate and strategic proximity to China, a major consumer of meat products from Vietnam. Despite this potential, livestock farming in the region remains small-scale, with challenges including low-quality breeds, inadequate feed sources, and limited land for…

Challenges for ex situ conservation of wild bananas: seeds collected in Papua New Guinea have variable levels of desiccation tolerance
Bioversity-CIAT Alliance (Bioversity-CIAT Alliance)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/109939

Reducing climate-induced heat stress in pigs in Uganda: Policy actions
CGIAR Research Program on Livestock
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/110342
Abstract
Pig farming is important for income generation and nutrition for a large population in Uganda, with 4.2 million pigs being kept in 2017. However, future projections indicate that domestic pork production will not be sufficient to meet the increasing demand. This situation is likely to be aggravated by climate-induced heat stress. Analysis of mhistorical climate…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/110861
Abstract
We studied the textural and rheological (viscoelastic) properties of fresh lafun dough, a fermented cassava product, and their changes during storage at 45 °C for 5 and 24 h, in order to determine after‐cooking storability. Lafun flours were produced from three types of cassava varieties: seven improved white‐fleshed varieties…

Large-scale analysis of tandem repeat variability in the human genome
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/41887
Abstract
Tandem repeats are short DNA sequences that are repeated head-to-tail with a propensity to be variable. They constitute a significant proportion of the human genome, also occurring within coding and regulatory regions. Variation in these repeats can alter the function and/or expression of genes allowing organisms to swiftly adapt to novel…
