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 diversity and admixture patterns among six Chinese indigenous cattle breeds in Yunnan [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Objective Yunnan is not only a frontier zone that connects China with South and Southeast Asia, but also represents an admixture zone between taurine (Bos taurus) and zebu (Bos indicus) cattle.

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.

Legacy of draught cattle breeds of South India: Insights into population structure, genetic admixture and maternal origin.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The present study is the first comprehensive report on diversity, population structure, genetic admixture and mitochondrial DNA variation in South Indian draught type zebu cattle. The diversity of South Indian cattle was moderately high.

Short tandem repeat (STR) based genetic diversity and relationship of indigenous Niger cattle [PDF]

Archives Animal Breeding, 2017
The diversity of cattle in Niger is predominantly represented by three indigenous breeds: Zebu Arabe, Zebu Bororo and Kuri. This study aimed at characterizing the genetic diversity and relationship of Niger cattle breeds using short tandem repeat (STR)

Genome-wide local ancestry and evidence for mitonuclear coadaptation in African hybrid cattle populations

iScience, 2022
Summary: The phenotypic diversity of African cattle reflects adaptation to a wide range of agroecological conditions, human-mediated selection preferences, and complex patterns of admixture between the humpless Bos taurus (taurine) and humped Bos indicus
