Article Synopsis
- Genetic introgression from European (EBT) and Indian (IBI) cattle has been utilized to create new composite beef cattle (CB) breeds by combining the resilience of IBI with the productivity of EBT.
- A study analyzed high-density genotypes of 486 cattle from 15 breeds to identify population structure and selection signatures in CB breeds like Beefmaster, Brangus, and Santa Gertrudis.
- Findings revealed that only 12.9% of the genetic makeup in CB populations is IBI origin, with EBT significantly influencing selection traits related to protein processing, immune response, and metabolism.
