Article Synopsis
- - Milk production in tropical regions is economically and socially important, involving dual-purpose animals created from a mix of Zebu and specialized dairy breeds, but uncontrolled mating can hinder effective breeding programs.
- - This study evaluated genomic diversity in a highly crossbred cattle population using data from 859 genotyped animals and identified low population structure and a blend of Zebu, Creole, and European Taurine genetics.
- - Findings highlight the advantages of crossbreeding for tropical dairy but stress the need for more controlled mating practices to improve breeding outcomes and genetic diversity.
