Effects of trypanosomiasis on growth and mortality of young East African Zebu cattle exposed to drug-resistant trypanosomes
Publicado 1994“…All these effects of trypanosomiasis on productivity, however, were temporary and animals later compensated for periods of poor growth. Regualr trypanocidal chemotherapy in a situation of high levels of drug resistance may have helped to maintain the health and productivity of these young cattle.…”

Comparative parasite development in African buffalo and N'Dama cattle infected with either Trypanosoma congolense or T. vivax
Publicado 1996“…Several parmaeters suggested that the buffaloes were much more resistant to trypanosomiasis than the N'Dama cattle: They had a much longer prepatent period, their parasitemia levels were lower (about 100 fold in T. congolense) and anemia, measured as a drop in PCV (packed cell volume), was either very short (T. congolense) or not present (T. vivax) in buffaloes. …”

The patterns of admixture, divergence, and ancestry of African cattle populations determined from genome-wide SNP data
Publicado 2020“…The AfricanBos tauruspopulations showed substantial genetic diversity, and other indigenous breeds show evidence of having more than one African taurine ancestor.Neestimates based onr2andr2adjshowed a decline inNefrom a large population at 2000 generations ago, which is surprising for the indigenous breeds given the expected increase in cattle populations over that period and the lack of structured breeding programs.African indigenous cattle breeds have a large genetic diversity and are either pure AfricanBos taurusor admixtures of AfricanBos taurusandBos indicus.This provides a rich resource of potentially valuable genetic variation, particularly for adaptation traits, and to support conservation programs. …”

The carbon footprint of young-beef cattle finishing systems in the Eastern Plains of the Orinoco River Basin of Colombia
Publicado 2023“…However, under a more optimistic scenario, these beef systems could accomplish substantial net gains of soil C, over the period for which field data are available. Overall, this study projects the positive impact of the design of plausible fattening strategies on grasslands for improving cattle productivity and reducing emission intensities with concomitant increases in technical efficiency.…”
