Genetic trends of Mexican zebu cattle populations

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2022
In Mexico, the genetic evaluations in Zebu breeds began in 2011 and there are no studies about the genetic progress achieved. Thus, this research aimed to quantify and analyse the genetic progress for growth traits in the Mexican Zebu beef cattle populations Nellore, Sardo Negro, Gyr, Indubrasil, and Guzerat.

Evaluation of the breeding practices and population trend of the Fogera cattle breed in Ethiopia

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2022
The study was conducted to estimate the population size, herd structure, and breeding objectives of Fogera cattle in Ethiopia. It was carried out in 23 purposively selected kebeles in five districts of three zones bordering Lake Tana. Interviewed farmers

Multivariate characterization of morphological traits in West African cattle sires [PDF]

Archives Animal Breeding, 2016
A total of 183 adult sires belonging to nine West African cattle breeds sampled in 67 villages of Mali, Burkina Faso and Benin were assessed for 16 body measurements and 18 qualitative traits. Within type of cattle (zebu, sanga or taurine), the different

Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Differences between Bos indicus and Bos taurus

Animals, 2023
Disease risk is a persistent problem in domestic cattle farming, while economic traits are the main concern. This study aimed to reveal the epigenetic basis for differences between zebu (Bos indicus) and taurine cattle (Bos taurus) in disease, disease ...

Kappa and beta-casein alleles in dairy zebu cattle

Animal Biotechnology, 2022
The kappa (CSN3) and beta-casein (CSN2) genes are intensively genotyped in dairy cattle for selection purposes. This information is also generated and disseminated for Zebu breeds adapted to tropical climates. The objective of this work was to gather information on the genotypes for the CSN3 and CSN2 genes in three breeds (Gyr, Guzerat and Sindhi), and
