		Zebus represent wealth for many farmers in Africa and Madagascar, but cause far more damage to fragile habitats than the equivalent native animals of the area, such as (in Africa) antelope.
		Zebus have been crossbred with other species of cattle in hot countries to pass on their qualities of heat tolerance and insect resistance.

		Miniature Zebus are rare; they were brought to the US by circuses and zoos in the 19th century.
		Because Zebu are resistant to many insects and enjoy the heat, the Brahman transformed many southeastern cattle ranches from white-faced and red or fl to humped, gray, and long-eared.
		The American Miniature Zebu Association grew out of our desire to encourage selective breeding by holding competitions, informational seminars, and revising the breed standard to be more specific.

	Zebu found with mad cow disease - Breaking News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The 18 year-old dwarf zebu, a type of humped cattle prevalent in Africa and India, could have been infected with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) by eating contaminated bonemeal before it was banned in Switzerland in 1990, the Swiss Federal Veterinary Office said in a statement.
		The zebu was born and reared at the zoo in Switzerland, and its parents were also of European origin, a spokesman for the office told AFP.
		BSE had not hit the zebu, which is known as a hardy and resistant animal in its natural habitat, warding off many tropical diseases and coping with extreme heat.

	Ancient Indus Zebu Bull seal, Harappa. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Generally carved on large seals with relatively short inscriptions, the zebu motif is found almost exclusively at the largest cities of Mohenjo-daro and Harappa.
		The rarity of zebu seals is curious because the humped bull is a recurring theme in many of the ritual and decorative arts of the Indus region, appearing on painted pottery and as figurines long before the rise of cities and continuing on into later historical times.
		The zebu bull may symbolize the leader of the herd, whose strength and virility protects the herd and ensures the procreation of the species or it stands for a sacrificial animal.

		The Nelore and the Brahman are of the species Bos indicus (Zebu), and have great dissimilarities to breeds of the Bos taurus (European) species.
		Zebu possess natural resistance to various insects, as its skin has a dense texture, making it difficult for blood sucking insects to penetrate.
		The Zebu cows calve very easily due to their greater frame, wide pelvic opening and larger birth canal, which reduces the incidence of distocia.

	Production of two composite beef cattle herds of Zebu x Criollo Yacumeño and Charolais x Zebu x Criollo Yacumeño on ...
		The foundation herd was composed of approximately 25% Charolais, 43% Zebu and 32% Criollo Yacumeño genes.
		Adjusted mean pregnancy of the Zebu elite herd (Plasse et al 1993) and the Criollo Yacumeño elite herd (Verde et al 1993) at the same ranch from 1967 through 1982 were 80.6% and 86.6% respectively.
		This comparison of the pregnancy percentages of the composite herds with the other herds existing at the ranch, might be somewhat biased since the data sets belong to somewhat different time periods and the size of the ranch makes it difficult to manage all herds under the same pasture conditions.

	Production of two composite beef cattle herds of Zebu x Criollo Yacumeño and Charolais x Zebu x Criollo Yacumeño on ...
		Zebu x Criollo cows at this ranch and in Turipaná, Colombia, had a mean advantage of 5% over Zebu (Plasse 1983).
		Since no control Zebu herd was maintained along with the crossbreds, the only way to compare their performance with an alternative population would be with the calves of the selected Zebu herd kept on the same ranch between 1967 and 1982 and whose 4363 weaning weights were published by Galdo et al (1992).
		In the present study no Zebu control group was available, but a comparison with published data from a Zebu herd at the same ranch indicated that Herd A and Herd B had a 1.8 and 2.5% advantage in age-adjusted weaning weight, which we do not consider to be economically important.

		Unlike the different breeds of cattle coming from the British Isles and Europe (Bos taurus) where cattle were specially selected and bred (in many cases line bred) to produce a specific type of animal, to my knowledge, this was not the case in India and Africa.

		It is useful to quantify the extent to which cattle are affected by nutrition, disease or other environmental factors, especially when large fluctuations in the quantity and quality of available forage occur, as they do in seasonally dry tropical and subtropical areas.
		In the method described here for Bos indicus (zebu) cattle, nine scores are used in which the three main conditions - (fat [F], medium [M], and lean[L]) - are subdivided into three categories.
