Genomic insights into the population structure and genetic diversity of Ugandan indigenous cattle

Animal Genetics, Volume 56, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Domestic cattle in Africa can be categorized as either taurine (Bos taurus) or indicine (Bos indicus) based on their domestication histories from the extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius). Close to 150 breeds of indigenous cattle are estimated to exist in Africa and have a complex mixture of B. taurus and B. indicus ancestries.

Interpretation Criteria for Comparative Intradermal Tuberculin Test for Diagnosis of Bovine Tuberculosis in Cattle in Maroua Area of Cameroon

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Intradermal tuberculin test (TST) is the choice method for diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis (Tb) in live animals. This work was done to assess the performance of single intradermal comparative cervical tuberculin (SICCT) test in randomly selected cattle in Maroua, Cameroon, against detection of Tb lesions and detection of Tb lesions plus acid fast ...

Bovine Tuberculosis in Cattle in the Highlands of Cameroon: Seroprevalence Estimates and Rates of Tuberculin Skin Test Reactors at Modified Cut‐Offs

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The aim of this study was to obtain epidemiological estimates of bovine tuberculosis (TB) prevalence in cattle in the highlands of Cameroon using two population‐based tuberculin skin test (TST) surveys in the years 2009 and 2010. However, prior to the TST survey in 2010, blood was collected from already chosen cattle for serological assay.

Long‐Term Body Weight Trends in Gobra Zebu Cattle Reared at the ‘Centre de Recherches Zootechniques’ of Dahra (Senegal): A Historical Perspective (1952–2018)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
This study tracks long‐term body weight trends in Gobra zebu cattle reared at the CRZ of Dahra (1952–2018). Results reveal significant growth patterns under optimal management, emphasizing the importance of reinstating breeding programmes and developing predictive models for early animal selection and performance evaluation. ABSTRACT The socio‐economic

Milk protein polymorphism in taurine (Bos taurus) and zebu (Bos indicus) populations bred in hot climate

, 2004
The genetic variation at four milk protein loci alpha(s1)-casein (CSN1S1), beta-casein (CSN2), kappa-casein (CSN3) and beta-lactoglobulin (LGB) was investigated in 358 animals belonging to seven populations well adapted to hot climatic conditions, reared

Immune Response in Cattle Trypanosomosis and Trypanotolerance: Main Findings and Gaps

Parasite Immunology, Volume 46, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Trypanosome parasites of the genus Trypanosoma cause African animal trypanosomosis, a devastating livestock disease plaguing sub‐Saharan Africa. Unlike many protozoan parasites, these extracellular blood‐borne pathogens directly engage the host's immune system. While the mouse model has provided valuable insights, a comprehensive understanding

Enteric Methane Production, Yield, and Intensity in Smallholder Dairy Farming Systems in Peri‐Urban Areas of Coastal West African Countries: Case Study of Benin

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 4, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Enteric methane (eCH4) is a major environmental pollutant emitted by ruminants. To target mitigation measures, it is necessary to accurately estimate GHG emissions from livestock farming. Until now, milk‐producing farms in the peri‐urban areas of South Benin are pasture‐based systems, and have been largely neglected by international research ...

De betrekkingen tussen Peul en Dogon in centraal-Mali [PDF]

, 2003
De Peul en de Dogon leven, ruim voor het tijdperk van grote Peulstaten als het Macinarijk, reeds lang naast elkaar in centraal Mali. De Peul weidden er hun kudden, pleegden er overvallen en gebruikten het gebied als slavenreservoir.

Inbreeding depression in Zebu cattle traits

, 2016
The 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.
