Estimation of taurindicine hybridization of American Zebu cattle in Brazil.
Our objective was to estimate Bos primigenius taurus introgression in American Zebu cattle. One hundred and four American Zebu (Nellore) cattle were submitted to mtDNA, microsatellite and satellite analysis. Twenty-three alleles were detected in microsatellite analysis, averaging 4.6 ± 1.82/locus. Variance component comparisons of microsatellite allele sizes allowed the construction of tw...

The recognition of a new variant of the Creutzfeldt Jacob (human disease related to the BSE) has enhanced the economy and public health importance in the world.

متن کاملBreed and heterosis effects of American Zebu cattle.
The Brahman (American Zebu) has been evaluated in numerous crossbreeding studies throughout the Southern United States. Brahman females producing straightbred calves have usually been found to have a lower calving percentage, calf survival rate and weaning rate than other contemporary straightbreds, although they have been reported to be superior or competitive in some studies. Birth weights of...
متن کاملPuberty in South American Bos indicus (Zebu) cattle.
Puberty in Zebu heifers follows a pattern characterized by a decrease in the steroid feedback mechanism and an increase in LH concentration, which result in the first ovulation followed by a short estrous cycle and the onset of normal cycles thereafter. These events are similar to those observed in Bos taurus cattle but occur at a later age. The late onset of puberty is both genetic and environ...
متن کاملProtein Requirements of Zebu Beef Cattle
Protein is one of the most important essential nutrients; it is involved in many vital functions in the body, such as growth and tissue repair, enzyme catalysis, transport and storage, coordinated movement, mechanical support, immunological protection, generation and transmission of nerve impulses, and control of metabolism, growth and cellular differentiation. Therefore, ensure adequate supply...
