Utilization of heterosis is the main goal of crossbreeding. The amount of heterosis maintained in a herd depends on the type of crossbreeding system selected for breeding. Heterosis includes greater viability, faster growth rate and greater milk production in dairy cattle. The genetic basis of heterosis is nonadditive gene action (dominance, overdominance, pseudo-overdominance, and epistasis). The main requirements for heterosis are there must be genetic diversity between the breeds crossed and there must be some nonadditive gene effects present for the particular trait involved. No heterosis was observed for traits governed by additive gene action. However, it tends to be greatest for traits with low heritability and least for traits with high heritability in nature. Traits of low heritability (reproductive traits) are generally most benefited from heterosis as compare to high heritability (growth rate). They can be improved through the adequate use of crossbreeding systems. Keywords: Crossbreeding, heterosis, cattle *Author for Correspondence E-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION [2]; larger these differences greater the Heterosis has been defined as the superiority heterozygosity and the heterosis effects.

    41 MITHUN - AN IMPORTANT BOVINE SPECIES OF INDIAN ORIGIN Neelam Gupta1, S.C. Gupta2, N.D. Verma3, RK. Pundir4, B.IK. .Joshi5, A.E. Nivsarkar6 and R Sahai National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources, P.O. Box No.129, Karnal -132 001, Haryana, INDIA SUMMARY The Mithun (Bos frontalis) is a heavily built semi domesticated bovine species originated in north eastern hill region of India. In some folklore, Mithun have been referred to as the descendent of the Sun. There are interesting and divergent legends about the origin of mithun among different tribes. Even today, mithun is used as a holy sacrificial animal to appease the Gods by the tribesman. It is a woodland animal found at an elevation of between 2 000 and 9 000 feet. The habitat of mithun extends like a long curved belt of hills from the Akasan hill and Chin Hills of Burma through the Chittagong hill tracts of Bangladesh and the Lushai (Mizo) hills of Manipur and Naga hills of India. The geographic zone is covered with tropical evergreen rain forests. At higher elevations mithun territories are also shared by yak (Poephagus grunniens), while at lower altitudes domestic cattle and mithun co-habit. The information contained in the article is primarily based on a field survey carried out on mithun of Porba village of Nagaland. Some data collated and published by other departments is also included. RESUME Le Mithun est une espèce bovine bien structurée, semi domestiquée et qui a son origine dans les régions de collines nordorientales de l’Inde. Dans certaines etes traditionnelles, le Mithun est considéré comme descendant direct du Soleil.

Abstract Aim: The present study was undertaken with the objective of determining the reference values for hematological parameters for Khillar breed of cattle in general and in the subpopulations such as male, female and different age group of animals. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out at Khillar Cattle Breeding Farm, Bankapur, Karnataka. A total of sixty eight animals were used in the study.Animals were grouped based on sex into male and female and in the age groups 3-5 years, 6-10 years and above 10 years of age. Blood samples with anticoagulant were collected from these animals and hematological parameters were determined. Mean values were compared between males and females, and between different age groups. Results: Mean and standard error values of all the hematological parameters for Khillar breed of cattle in general, male, female and different age groups of animals are tabulated.
