• TITLE: Impact of environmental and social factors on genotypic and phenotypic diversity of some local Sudanese sheep breeds

  AUTHORS: Nahid Gornas, Abdel Rahim M. EL Hussein

  KEYWORDS: Sheep Breeds

  ABSTRACT: This mini review aimed to discuss and compare the findings of a genotypic study done by Gor-nas et al., 2011 and some environmental and social factors discussed previously in Sudan. The main conclusion was the agreement of the genotypic analysis with the previous observations done on the phenotypic part. The important recommendation was to support the nomadic system so as to preserve the biodiversity of livestock in Sudan.
