Our objectives were to test differences in protein synthesis and secretion by cultured oviducts and endomemum from Brahman and Holstein cows and the response of those tissues to in vitro heat shock. Explants of oviductal tissue obtained at estrus from Holstein (n = 5 ) and Brahman (n = 6 ) cows were cultured at a homeothermic (39°C) or heat shock (43°C) temperature. At 6 h, cultures were pulse-...

Since the nineteenth century, Tamil Brahmans have been very well represented in the educated professions, especially law and administration, medicine, engineering and nowadays, information technology. This is partly a continuation of the Brahmans' role as literate service people, owing to their traditions of education, learning and literacy, but the range of professions shows that any direct co...

To determine the effects of location and season on growth of bulls, Hereford bulls from Montana (MH; n = 15) and Nebraska (NH; n = 15) and Brahman bulls from Texas and Louisiana (BB; n = 18) were moved to three locations: Montana (MT), Nebraska (NE) or Texas (TX). Each location received 5 NH, 5 MH and 6 BB. Control bulls (not relocated) were maintained at each location. All bulls were pubertal ...

The American Brahman, unique in many ways, differs from cattle of European origin in form, physiology and genetic make-up. The Brahman is generally utilized to complement rather than compete with others breeds. Even though the same basic genetic principles operate for Brahmans as for any other breed, goals are different and the gene pool and distribution of the Brahman population is different. ...

Monthly weights, heights and condition scores and measurements taken at the time of puberty were utilized to estimate effects of breed-type and heterosis on characters related to growth, size and puberty of second-generation heifers of a five-breed diallel involving Angus, Brahman, Hereford, Holstein and Jersey. One group of heifers was maintained on pasture with supplemental feed; two other gr...

Birth weights of 1908 purebred Herefords, Shorthorns, Brahmans and Africanders, and Fl and F2 generation Africander cross, Brahman cross and British cross calves, collected from 1954 to 1962, were analysed. Heterosis in the Fl was estimated as 13% for Brahman cross, 5% for Africander cross, and 3% for British cross. The mean birth weights of the F2 Zebu cross were less than those of the Fl, whi...
