Meanings of taurine cattle in English

Probably, breeding decisions promoting the crosses between zebu-like and taurine cattle are underlying this geographical pattern of variation.

The similarity between B. primigenius and modern taurine cattle confirms that these should be considered members of a single species.

European cattle diversity is generally dominated by taurine cattle, although elevated levels of indicine ancestry have been recorded in several breeds from southern Europe.

In this study, whole-genome re-sequencing data from indicine and Brazilian locally adapted taurine cattle breeds were used to detect genomic regions under selective pressure.
