Genetic diversity and population structure of three native cattle populations in Mozambique

Felix J. M. King et al.

Summary: The study on native Mozambican cattle populations revealed low genetic diversity and varying degrees of admixture among the populations, as well as a decrease in effective population size over time. These findings will aid in formulating management and conservation strategies for indigenous Mozambican cattle populations.

Capitalizing on the Potential of South African Indigenous Beef Cattle Breeds: A Review

Este Van Marle-Koster et al.

Summary: Cattle populations arrived in Southern Africa almost 2000 years ago, brought by farming communities migrating southwards. Over the centuries, cattle have played a crucial role in livestock production, cultural events, and social status indicators. Research indicates that indigenous cattle breeds in South Africa are well-adapted to local environmental conditions and have the potential to enhance productivity and alleviate poverty in the developing livestock sector.

SNP panels for the estimation of dairy breed proportion and parentage assignment in African crossbred dairy cattle

Netsanet Z. Gebrehiwot et al.

Summary: This study developed small SNP panels for accurately estimating total dairy proportion and assigning parentage in West and East African crossbred dairy cows. By selecting SNPs with the highest discriminating power based on allele frequency differences, accurate estimation of breed composition and parentage assignment was achieved.

Genetic characterisation of non-descript cattle populations in communal areas of South Africa

M. D. Mamogobo et al.

Summary: The study found a high level of genetic diversity in the South African non-descript communal beef cattle populations, with the Limpopo population being the most diverse. The Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo populations had genetic material similar to those possessed by the Nguni and Bonsmara reference populations.
