List of breeds of cattle

List of breeds of cattle

The following is a list of breeds of cattle. Over 800 breeds of cattle are recognized worldwide, some which adapted to the local climate, others which were bred by humans for specialized uses. Breeds fall into two main types, regarded as either two closely related species, or two subspecies of one species. "Bos indicus" (or "Bos taurus indicus") cattle, also called zebu, are adapted to hot climates. "Bos taurus" (or "Bos taurus taurus") are the typical cattle of Europe, north-eastern Asia, and parts of Africa – they are referred to in this list as "taurine" cattle, and many are adapted to cooler climates. "Taurus/indicus" hybrids are widely bred in many warmer regions, combining characteristics of both the ancestral types. In some parts of the world further species of cattle are found (both as wild and domesticated animals), and some of these are related so closely to taurine and indicus cattle that interspecies hybrids have been bred. Examples include the Dwarf Lulu cattle of the mountains of Nepal with yak blood, [cite journal|title=Mitochondrial DNA analysis of Nepalese domestic dwarf cattle Lulu|url=http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bsc/asj/2004/00000075/00000002/art00003|last=Takeda|first=K.|coauthors=Satoh M.; Neopane S.P.; Kuwar B.S.; Joshi H.D.; Shrestha N.P.; Fujise H.; Tasai M.; Tagami T.; Hanada H.|journal=Animal Science Journal|volume=75|issue=2|month=April | year=2004|pages=103–110(8)|doi=10.1111/j.1740-0929.2004.00163.x] 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. [cite book|title=Systematics and Phylogeny of Cattle|url=http://www.cabi.org/bk_bookdisplay.asp?PID=1210|first=J.A. |last=Lenstra|coauthors=D.G. Bradley|month=June | year=1999|id=ISBN 9780851992587] 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.
