Classification of the southern African sanga and east African shorthorned zebu.

Animal genetics - 1 Apr 1997

Frisch J E, Drinkwater R, Harrison B, Johnson S

Abstract excerpt

Humped African cattle, which are differentiated into zebu and sanga types, have traditionally been classified as Bos indicus. This paper discusses existing evidence and presents new evidence supporting the classification of southern African sangas as Bos taurus and East African zebus as 'taurindicus'. Classification is based on karyotype, frequencies of DNA markers and protein polymorphisms. The Boran, an East...
