  • Crossbreeding of Cattle in Africa
    Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences June 2018, Vol. 7, No. 1, pp. 16-31 ISSN: 2334-2404 (Print), 2334-2412 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jaes.v7n1a3 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jaes.v7n1a3 Crossbreeding of Cattle in Africa R Trevor Wilson1 Abstract Africa is endowed with a very wide range of mostly Bos indicus indigenous cattle breeds. A general statement with regard to their performance for meat or milk is that they are of inferior genetic value. Attempts to improve their performance have rarely relied on within-breed improvement but have concentrated on crossing to supposedly superior exotic Bos taurus types. Exotic types have not always – indeed have rarely -- been chosen on objective criteria and the imported breeds generally indicate the colonial past of individual African countries rather than on use of “the right animal in the right place”. Most attempts at increasing output have been undertaken under research station conditions. Results on station have been very variable but the limited success achieved has rarely been carried over in to the general African cattle population. This paper documents a number of attempts to alter the genetic make-up of African cattle in several countries and discusses the reasons for the failure of most of these. Keywords: Bos indicus, Bos taurus, livestock experiments, milk production, meat production 1. Introduction African countries differ greatly in climatic, ecological and agricultural conditions and in socioeconomic factors. In many countries, nonetheless, cattle are the most important livestock species.

  • For Immediate Release Brangus Are Not “Eared” Cattle
    For Immediate Release Contact: Doc or Patricia Spitzer FAIR PLAY, SC [email protected] or November 8, 2011 (864)972-9140 or (864)710-0257 Brangus Are Not “Eared” Cattle First and foremost we need to wrap our minds around the fact that God created cattle, he did not create breeds. And while in some cases natural barriers such as oceans and mountain ranges did affect genetic selection, for the most part it is humans who created breeds. And, if you go back far enough in history there really are no pure breeds, only our inflated misconceptions that they exist. That being said, there are two species that make up all cattle of the world; Bos Taurus cattle are primarily cattle populations that originated in the more temperate climates and Bos Indicus cattle populations developed in the more tropical regions of the world. Generally the US beef industry further subdivides Bos Taurus beef cattle into two groups. Continental Breeds of cattle are those breeds originating on the European Continent while British Breeds were originally from selections of bovine populations from the British Isle. It is also typical of US producers to wrongly lump all Bos Indicus breeds of cattle together. This is rather astounding as there are more recognized different breeds of Bos Indicus derivation scattered around the world than specific breeds of Bos Taurus derivation. Americans have also further compounded the confusion by creating new breeds by crossing a variety of specifically recognized Bos Indicus cattle to create the American Brahman and crossing cattle of Bos Indicus and Bos Taurus origin to create what some refer to as the American Breeds.

The region’s environment generally can be characterized as subtropical, i.e. hot, humid summers with ample rainfall supporting good forage production. Efficient cow-calf production in the humid South is dependent on heat and parasite tolerance and good forage utilization ability. Brahman and Brahman-derivative breeds generally possess these characteristics and excel in maternal traits. Consequently, they have been used extensively throughout the Southern Region in crossbreeding systems with Bos taurus breeds in order to exploit both breed complementarity and heterosis effects. However, several characteristics of Brahman and Brahman crossbred cattle, such as poor feedlot performance, lower carcass quality including meat tenderness, and poor temperament, whether real or perceived can result in economic discounts of these cattle. Therefore, determining genetic variation for economically important traits among Brahman and Brahman-derivative breeds and identifying tropically adapted breeds of cattle from other countries that may excel in their performance of economically important traits in Southern U.S.

  • We Are Continuing with Our Summer Movie Netflix Series
    Sermon Message-Series: “Lights, Cinema, Scripture: Beast of No Nation” First Epistle: Romans 8: 1-11 Gospel: Matthew 13: 1-9, 18-23 Sunday July 12, 2020 Preacher: Kirstie J. Engel We are continuing with our summer movie Netflix series, “ Lights, Cinema, Scripture!,” This week we are looking at the movie “Beast of No Nation,” and seeing how our gospel lesson may speak to this movie. So to give a brief movie synopsis of this film for those who may not have been able to tune in; Beasts of No Nation is a 2005 novel by the Nigerian-American author Uzodinma Iweala that later became a movie. The film follows the journey of a young boy, Agu, who is forced to join a group of soldiers in an unnamed West African country after his father and brother was brutally murdered in front of him. His mother and sister was able to go with the UN peacekeepers during that time. The tension of the film settles mainly around Agu and his commander of whom he fears; And as the film progresses, you and I tragically witness Agu’s fledgling childhood brutally shattered by the war raging through his country, You and I witness an innocent child having to face the unimaginable, where at first Agu was conflicted by simultaneous revulsion and fascination with the mechanics of war…..and then we see his life succumb to it; some would say inevitably. And then the pivotal moment comes towards the end when this young troop of boys and teenagers/young adults, turn on their commander when they run out of supplies, ammo and food.

Cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry and other livestock have been an essential part of agriculture and our history as a nation. With the change of agriculture from a way of life to a successful industry, we are losing our agricultural roots. Although we descend from a nation of farmers, few of us can name more than a handful of livestock breeds that are important to our production of food and fiber.
