Spongiform Encephalopathy in a Miniature Zebu [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 The first case of spongiform encephalopathy in a zebu (Bos indicus) was identified in a zoo in Switzerland. Although histopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses of the central nervous system indicated a diagnosis of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), molecular typing showed some features different from those of BSE in cattle (B. taurus).

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.

Evaluation of Multi-Breed Genomic Prediction Models for Carcass and Reproductive Traits in Zebu Beef Cattle. [PDF]
Anim GenetABSTRACT Genomic prediction in beef cattle is particularly challenging in breeds with limited phenotypic and genotypic data. In this context, multi‐breed methodologies that integrate information from genetically related populations have emerged as a promising strategy to improve prediction accuracy and calibration under data‐scarce conditions.

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
