A structural variant at ASIP associated with the darkness of hair coat is found in multiple zebu cattle populations

Animal Genetics, 2023
A structural variant (SV) in the agouti signaling protein gene (ASIP), namely ASIP-SV1, has been found to strongly correlate with the darkness of hair coat in specific regions of the body of bulls from the zebu (Bos indicus) Nellore breed.

Inbreeding depression in Zebu cattle traits. [PDF]

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2016
SummaryThe productivity of herds may be negatively affected by inbreeding depression, and it is important to know how intense is this effect on the livestock performance. We performed a comprehensive analysis involving five Zebu breeds reared in Brazil to estimate inbreeding depression in productive and reproductive traits.

Energy metabolism of pregnant zebu and crossbred zebu dairy cattle

PLOS ONE, 2021
The purpose of this study was to determine the energy partition of pregnant F1 Holstein x Gyr with average initial body weight (BW) of 515.6 kg and Gyr cows with average initial BW of 435.1 kg at 180, 210 and 240 days of gestation, obtained using respirometry. Twelve animals in two groups (six per genetic group) received a restricted diet equivalent to

Genomic signatures for drylands adaptation at gene-rich regions in African zebu cattle

Genomics, 2022
Background Indigenous Sudanese cattle are mainly indicine/zebu (humped) type. They thrive in the harshest dryland environments characterised by high temperatures, long seasonal dry periods, nutritional shortages, and vector disease challenges.
