Population genetic structure and maternal lineage of South African crossbred Nguni cattle using the cytochrome b gene in mtDNA.

Tropical animal health and production - 1 Jul 2020

Mkize Lwamkelekile Sitshilelo, Zishiri Oliver Tendayi

Abstract excerpt

The Nguni cattle breed predominates South Africa and is endowed with traits favourable against environmental stressors such as heat stress and resistance to diseases. Interventions to improve production have led to the erosion of the genetic integrity of local breeds and the introduction of exotic breeds has proved ineffective as they fail to perform well due to different climatic conditions and production...
