    Aubrac (race bovine) 1 Aubrac (race bovine) Pour les articles homonymes, voir Aubrac (homonymie). Aubrac Vache Aubrac Espèce Vache (Bos taurus) Région d’origine Région sud du Massif central en France Caractéristiques Taille Moyenne Robe Unie fauve Autre Diffusion Régionale Utilisation Mixte [1] modifier L’aubrac est une race bovine française originaire du plateau de l'Aubrac, au sud du Massif central. C'est une vache de taille moyenne, à la robe fauve avec les muqueuses, le toupet de la queue, le bout des cornes en lyre et le contour des oreilles noirs. Autrefois utilisée pour le travail, le lait et la viande. Aujourd'hui, c'est une race allaitante destinée à produire de la viande. On l'apprécie notamment pour sa rusticité et ses qualités maternelles, qui lui permettent d'élever facilement ses veaux. Elle est souvent croisée avec des taureaux charolais pour améliorer la conformation de ses produits. L'aubrac était autrefois associée aux burons, dans lesquels on transformait son lait en fromage durant l'estive. Cette pratique a disparu aujourd'hui, et à de très rares exceptions près, le fromage de Laguiole est fabriqué non plus avec du lait d'Aubrac mais avec celui de vaches simmentals, plus productives. Certains éleveurs cherchent tout de même à développer une souche laitière. Histoire Origine Cette race fait partie, pour certains auteurs, du rameau brun, un vaste rameau comprenant notamment la Brune des Alpes, la Tarentaise, la Gasconne ou encore la Mirandaise. Elle pourrait être plus précisément apparentée à la gasconne. Au sein de ce rameau brun, on la rattache souvent à la « branche fauve », et non à la branche alpine.

What this should mean for the producer is that they will JULY 2017 finally be paid for producing meat rather than bone and fat. Many producers I have spoken to over the years are only interested in producing big cattle regardless of how much bone they may have.

  • Biotechnological Characteristics of Meat Cattle Breeds in the Tyumen Region
    A. A. Bakharev et al /J. Pharm. Sci. & Res. Vol. 10(9), 2018, 2383-2390 Biotechnological Characteristics of Meat Cattle Breeds in the Tyumen Region A. A. Bakharev1, O. M. Sheveleva1, K. A. Fomintsev1, K. N. Grigoryev1, A. G. Koshchaev2, K. A. Amerkhanov3, I. M. Dunin4 1Northern Trans-Urals State Agricultural University, 625003, Russia, Tyumen, Respubliki Street, 7 2Kuban State Agrarian University, 350044, Russia, Krasnodar, Kalinina Street, 13 3Russian Timiryazev State Agrarian University, 127550, Russia, Moscow, Timiryazevskaya Street, 49 4All-Russian Scientific and Research Institute of Breeding Business, 141212, Russia, Moscow region, Pushkin, Lesnye Polyany, Lenina Street, 13 Abstract Economically useful characteristics of the Charolais, Limousine, Salers and Aubrac cattle have been studied in the comparative aspect to the natural-and-economic conditions of the Northern Trans-Urals during their acclimatization. The biotechnological characteristic of the analyzed animal breeds shows that animals of the extensive Salers and Aubrac breeds have the best adaptive qualities for the conditions of Northern Trans-Urals by the complex of biological and technological parameters; the list is ended by the stud Limousine and Charolais breeds. The results obtained over the 15-year period of breeding specialized beef cattle in the Tyumen region show improved basic productive indicators of animals of all imported species. The annual growth of the livestock is 10-12%, heifers’ insemination age decreases to 19 months, the commercial yield of calves reaches 87%, the milk consumption for bulls is 237 kg, and for heifers - 218 kg. Overall assessment by the set of productive traits shows that over 90% of animals fully meet the requirements of the standard.
