Molecular characterization and A1/A2 genotyping of casein beta gene in zebu and crossbred cattle of Bangladesh

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2022
Casein beta (CSN2) is the most explored gene in cattle due to its potential impact on human health. Here, we investigated the entire coding sequence of CSN2 gene except the last two codons for detection of polymorphisms in different cattle populations of

Genome-wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Analyses Reveal Genetic Diversity and Structure of Wild and Domestic Cattle in Bangladesh [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2014
In spite of variation in coat color, size, and production traits among indigenous Bangladeshi cattle populations, genetic differences among most of the populations have not been investigated or exploited.

Genetic variation of Nigerian cattle inferred from maternal and paternal genetic markers [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
The African cattle provide unique genetic resources shaped up by both diverse tropical environmental conditions and human activities, the assessment of their genetic diversity will shade light on the mechanism of their remarkable adaptive capacities.

Whole-Genome Analysis Deciphers Population Structure and Genetic Introgression Among Bovine Species

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
It is known that throughout history and presently, taurine (Bos taurus) and indicine/zebu (Bos indicus) cattle were crossed with other bovine species (e.g., gayal, gaur, banteng, yak, wisent, and bison).

Assessing Genomic Diversity and Productivity Signatures in Dianzhong Cattle by Whole-Genome Scanning

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Dianzhong cattle is a classic Chinese indigenous cattle breed with historical records dating back to 200 BC. But with its genomic differences having not been clearly elucidated, the quest for genomic characterization will be an essential step towards ...

Signatures of Selection for Environmental Adaptation and Zebu × Taurine Hybrid Fitness in East African Shorthorn Zebu

Frontiers in Genetics, 2017
The East African Shorthorn Zebu (EASZ) cattle are ancient hybrid between Asian zebu × African taurine cattle preferred by local farmers due to their adaptability to the African environment.

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships in local cattle breeds of Senegal based on autosomal microsatellite markers [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2015
Aim: In Senegal, uncontrolled cross-breeding of cattle breeds and changes in production systems are assumed to lead to an increase of gene flow between populations. This might constitute a relevant threat to livestock improvement.

The performance of Orma Boran and Maasai Zebu crossbreeds in a trypanosomosis endemic area of Nguruman, south western Kenya

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2005
Studies on the trypanotolerance of Orma Boran X Maasai Zebu (Orma Zebu) crossbred cattle (F1 progeny) and pure-bred Maasai Zebu contemporaries were carried out in Nguruman, south western Kenya. The two groups were monitored from birth for a period of 2

RADIOIMMUNOASSAY OF LUTEINIZING HORMONE IN THE BLOOD OF ZEBU CATTLE [PDF]

Reproduction, 1972
Summary. A solid-phase radioimmunoassay was used to measure lh in the serum of a Zebu cow and heifer during the oestrous cycle. Shortly after the onset of oestrus, serum levels of lh rose sharply to 20 to 120 ng/ml before dropping to baseline levels of about 2 ng/ml after 8 to 10 hr. Elevated lh values were also detected in mid-cycle,
