Role of genetic introgression in introducing mutant alleles in Bos indicus cattle and prevalence of lethal genetic disorders in Bos taurus × Bos indicus and Bos indicus cattle in India

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2023
Fertility is an important trait associated with reproductive performance and animal welfare concern. Lethal alleles affect fertility through early embryonic death, abortions, and stillbirth depending on the genetic expression of the allele. Holstein Friesian and Jersey are two major Bos taurus breeds used widely for increasing milk yield along with ...

Reproductive cycles in Bos indicus cattle

Animal Reproduction Science, 2011
Several studies using transrectal ovarian ultrasonic scanning in Bos taurus (B. taurus) cattle and more recently in Bos indicus (B. Indicus) females evaluated the reproductive cycles of heifers and cows under different conditions. In general, B. indicus cattle have more follicles and more follicular waves during the estrous cycle and ovulate from ...

Evaluation of thermo-adaptability between Tharparkar (Bos indicus) and crossbred (Bos indicus X Bos taurus) calves in a controlled environment

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2022
The global warming driven climate change has increased the susceptibility of livestock around the globe to heat stress (HS), which reduces animal productivity and threatens the sustainability of marginal farmers. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate thermo-adaptability between Tharparkar calves (TC), an indigenous milch breed of India ...

Effect of early luteolysis in progesterone-based timed AI protocols in Bos indicus, Bos indicus×Bos taurus, and Bos taurus heifers

Theriogenology, 2008
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of treatment with an intravaginal progesterone-releasing device (CIDR) and estradiol benzoate (EB) on follicular dynamics in Bos indicus (n=23), Bos taurus (n=25), and cross-bred (n=23) heifers. To assess the influence of reduced serum progesterone concentrations during 8 days of treatment with a ...

Logistic regression analysis of pregnancy rate following transfer of Bos indicus embryos into Bos indicus × Bos taurus heifers

Theriogenology, 2007
Factors affecting pregnancy rate of 5627 Zebu embryos in crossbred females with unknown proportions of Holstein and Zebu breeding were examined. After evaluation for developmental stage, quality, and viability, embryos were immediately transferred to recipients.

Bos indicus (Zebu)

1968
The karyotype of Bos indicus is identical with that of Bos taurus except for the morphology of the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome of B. taurus is a small metacentric, but that of B. indicus is a small acrocentric. Autoradiographs of DNA synthesis during the late S phase invariably show a late replicating small acrocentric.

Acquisition and Expression of Resistance by Bos indicus and Bos indicus x Bos taurus Calves to Amblyomma americanum Infestation

The Journal of Parasitology, 1985
Purebred and crossbred Bos indicus calves were infested 1, 2, or 3 times with 10 female and 5 male Amblyomma americanum. Resistance was acquired by both the purebred and the crossbred calves after 1 infestation and resulted in statistically significant decreases in the percentages of females that engorged, the mean weights of engorged females, and the ...

Physiological responses of newborn Bos indicus and Bos indicus x Bos taurus calves after exposure to cold.

Journal of Animal Science, 1991
Brahman (n = 9) and 1/2 Simmental x 1/4 Brahman x 1/4 Hereford (n = 11) calves were utilized to determine the influence of exposure to cold on the physiology of the neonate. All calves were removed from their dams within 20 min of birth and prior to suckling.

Heterosis in Bos taurus × Bos indicus crosses

Livestock Production Science, 1985
Abstract Data extracted from reports on Bos taurus × Bos indicus crossbreeding were used to estimate the amount of heterosis in these crosses. Traits studied were age at first calving, milk yield, lactation length, and calving interval. The estimates obtained were (percent of midparent means in parentheses): Age at first calving −3.2 to −4.4 ...

Pregnancy Rates to Fixed Embryo Transfer of Vitrified IVP Bos indicus, Bos taurus or Bos indicus × Bos taurus Embryos

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2015
ContentsThe pregnancy rates obtained after the transfer of cryopreserved in vitro‐produced (IVP) embryos are usually low and/or inconsistent. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pregnancy rates of Holstein, Gyr and Holstein × Gyr cattle after the transfer of vitrified IVP embryos produced with X‐sorted sperm.
