Genomic Analysis of Taurine and Indicine Ancestry in the Montana Tropical Composite Population

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 2, Page 273-282, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Montana Tropical cattle, a Taurine and Indicine composite, were developed in Brazil since 1994 and were based on crossing four biological types of cattle: zebu (mainly Nelore), tropical adapted taurine (mainly Senepol and Romosinuano), British taurine (mainly Angus) and continental taurine (as Charolais, Simental and Limousin).

Divergent adaptation to highland and tropical environments in Bolivian Creole cattle

Gene
Abstract Bolivian Creole cattle populations evolved under low levels of breeding management and, during more than 500 years of natural selection, became adapted to various environments such as the contrasting highland and subtropical environments. Recently, highland Creole cattle were crossbred with Holstein to improve dairy production. The aim
