BREED AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON BIRTH WEIGHT, WEANING WEIGHT AND CALVING INTERVAL OF ZEBU CATTLE IN SOUTHEASTERN MEXICO

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2017
Records of beef cows from a ranch in southern Mexico gave 1967 birth weights (BW), 1587 weaning weights adjusted to 210 days of age (AWW) and 2001 calving intervals (CI) for the comparison of the breed groups: Brahman (BR), Guzerat (GU), Nellore (NE) and

A recessive lethal chondrodysplasia in a miniature zebu family results from an insertion affecting the chondroitin sulfat domain of aggrecan

BMC Genetics, 2018
Congenital skeletal malformations represent a heterogeneous group of disorders affecting bone and cartilage development. In cattle, particular chondrodysplastic forms have been identified in several miniature breeds.

Antenatal Food Avoidances in Madagascar Suggest an Evolutionary Link Between Subsistence Patterns, Carbohydrate Consumption, and Determinants of Obstructed Labor

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 186, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives We aimed to test if different subsistence patterns shaped different antenatal eating behaviors in Madagascar, and to investigate if reasons given for maternal dietary restrictions disclosed actual biological pressures on pregnancy.

Signatures of positive selection in East African Shorthorn Zebu: A genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism analysis

Scientific Reports, 2015
The small East African Shorthorn Zebu (EASZ) is the main indigenous cattle across East Africa. A recent genome wide SNP analysis revealed an ancient stable African taurine x Asian zebu admixture.

Genetic variation in bovine milk proteins: Implications for functional and nutritional properties

International Journal of Dairy Technology, Volume 78, Issue 1, February 2025.
The genetic variation of milk proteins can effect a number of milk properties. Some of these properties include allergenic response, protein stability, foaming and emulsification, health and cheese yield. The six major bovine milk proteins are encoded by highly polymorphic chromosomes. Genetic variation has become a topic of interest and controversy in
