Assessment of Mutation Drift Equilibrium and the Occurrence of a Recent Genetic Bottleneck in South Indian Zebu Cattle [PDF]

Animals, 2022
During the last few decades, the effective population size of indigenous zebu cattle breeds has declined drastically, resulting in the classification of some of them into the vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered category.

Genetic diversity of BoLA-DRB3 in South American Zebu cattle populations [PDF]

BMC Genetics, 2018
Background Bovine leukocyte antigens (BoLAs) are used extensively as markers of disease and immunological traits in cattle. However, until now, characterization of BoLA gene polymorphisms in Zebu breeds using high resolution typing methods has been poor.

Evaluation of Multi-Breed Genomic Prediction Models for Carcass and Reproductive Traits in Zebu Beef Cattle. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT 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.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Zambian Indigenous Cattle. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study aimed at genetically profile Zambian indigenous cattle Tonga, Angoni and Barotse using DNA markers. The markers reviewed that cattle were geographical sub‐structured and no evidence of panmixia. but higher genetic diversity among and within populations.

Estimation of lactation curves of Gyr cattle and some associated production parameters in the Colombian low tropic

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2021
Background: The Gyr breed is widely used in Colombian low tropic dairy production systems. During the last 10 years, the Asociación Colombiana de Criadores de Ganado Cebú† - ASOCEBU, has been leading a dairy milk control program which led to the creation
