Naessens, JanWilliams, D.J.L.[Characterization and measurement of CD5+ B cells in normal and Trypanosoma congolense- infected cattle]Characterization and measurement of CD5+ B cells in normal and Trypanosoma congolense- infected cattle

Livestock provides an important source of income and nourishment for around one billion rural households worldwide. Demand for livestock food products is increasing, especially in developing countries, and there are opportunities to increase production to meet local demand and increase farm incom...


Mayberry, D.Ash, Andrew J.Prestwidge, D.Godde, Cécile M.Henderson, Benjamin B.Duncan, Alan J.Blümmel, MichaelRamana Reddy, Y.Herrero, Mario T.[Yield gap analyses to estimate attainable bovine milk yields and evaluate options to increase production in Ethiopia and India]Yield gap analyses to estimate attainable bovine milk yields and evaluate options to increase production in Ethiopia and India

Butana and Kenana are two types of zebu cattle found in Sudan. They are unique amongst African indigenous zebu cattle because of their high milk production. Aiming to understand their genome structure, we genotyped 25 individuals from each breed using the Illumina BovineHD Genotyping BeadChip. Ge...


Bahbahani, HussainSalim, B.Almathen, F.Al Enezi, F.Mwacharo, Joram M.Hanotte, Olivier H.[Signatures of positive selection in African Butana and Kenana dairy zebu cattle]Signatures of positive selection in African Butana and Kenana dairy zebu cattle

Background:Smallholder dairy farming in much of the developing world is based on the use of crossbred cows that combine local adaptation traits of indigenous breeds with high milk yield potential of exotic dairy breeds. Pedigree recording is rare in such systems which means that it is impossible ...


Strucken, E.M.Al-Mamun, H.A.Esquivelzeta-Rabell, C.Gondro, C.Okeyo Mwai, AllyGibson, John P.[Genetic tests for estimating dairy breed proportion and parentage assignment in East African crossbred cattle]Genetic tests for estimating dairy breed proportion and parentage assignment in East African crossbred cattle

Retrospective studies were conducted in Kafta-Humera and Wukro areas of Tigray region of Ethiopia. A retrospective study was carried out on 12 herds consisting 2144 Begait cattle from pastoral and agro-pastoral areas to assess herd composition and calf-crop. To evaluate the reproductive performan...


Gebrekidan, B.Tegegne, AzageRegassa, F.[Assessment of reproductive performance of Begait cattle in in-situ and ex-situ sites and in different production systems in northern Ethiopia]Assessment of reproductive performance of Begait cattle in in-situ and ex-situ sites and in different production systems in northern Ethiopia

This study aimed at identifying Sheko cattle keepers' preferences by way of phenotypic ranking and hypothetical choice experiment in their habitat in order to define the indigenous selection criteria. The ranking experiment report was based on 15 cows and 6 to 9 bulls. Three animals of the same s...

Traoré, Sékou AmadouReiber, ChristophMegersa, BekeleZárate, Anne Valle[Contribution of cattle of different breeds to household food security in southern Mali]Contribution of cattle of different breeds to household food security in southern Mali

At least 150 indigenous African cattle breeds have been named, but the majority of African cattle populations remain largely uncharacterized. As cattle breeds and populations in Africa adapted to various local environmental conditions, they acquired unique features. We know now that the history o...

African Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is the wildlife reservoir of multiple species within the apicomplexan protozoan genus Theileria, including Theileria parva which causes East coast fever in cattle. A parasite, which has not yet been formally named, known as Theileria sp. (buffalo) has been r...

(buffalo) can infect and immortalize cattle leukocytes and encodes divergent orthologues of Theileria parva antigen genes]The African buffalo parasite Theileria. sp. (buffalo) can infect and immortalize cattle leukocytes and encodes divergent orthologues of Theileria parva antigen genes

Indigenous Chinese cattle combine taurine and indicine origins and occupy a broad range of different environments. By 50 K SNP genotyping we found a discontinuous distribution of taurine and indicine cattle ancestries with extremes of less than 10% indicine cattle in the north and more than 90% i...
