List of breeds of cattle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe following is a list
of breeds of cattle. Over 800 breeds of cattle are recognized worldwide,
adapted both for local climate and for specialized uses. Unless indicated the
breed is primarily of the Bos taurus type. Bos taurus cattle are
the most common in cooler regions and many breeds are good dairy cattle. Bos
indicus cattle, also called zebu, are common in hotter regions because of
their heat tolerance and disease resistance. Taurus/indicus hybrids,
including the Sanga cattle of Africa attempt to combine the best traits of
both. Wherever near relatives of cattle live, there are breeds which are
interspecies hybrids. Examples include the Dwarf Lulu cattle of the mountains
of Nepal with yak blood[1], the Beefalo of North America
with bison genetics, the Selembu breed of India and Bhutan with gayal genetics.
The Madura breed of Indonesia may have banteng in its parentage.[2]
The Dzo of Nepal is an infertile cattle-yak crossing which is bred for
agricultural work. Like the mule which is also infertile, they have to be
continually bred from the parent species.
