Cathelicidins include antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and are involved in the innate immune defense against infections in mammals. Polymorphisms in the DNA sequence of cathelicidin genes could be relevant to inherited variations of host innate immunity, adaptation, and pathogen resistance. This study aims to investigate the sequence polymorphism of cathelicidin genes including CATHL2 and CATHL4 from local indigenous yellow cattle breeds of Vietnam.

Cathelicidins, a family of host-defence peptides, are present in a diverse range of species, including fish, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals. The evidence for the role of these cationic antimicrobial peptides in innate host defenses is convincing from the data of animal model and transgenic animal experiments as well as wildlife or domestic animals, indicating that the peptides protect against inflammatory and immune system after induction by bacterial infection.

Indian agriculture is an economic symbiosis of crop and livestock production with cattle as the foundation. Sadly, the population of indigenous cattle (Bos indicus) is declining (8.94 % in last decade) and needs immediate scientific management. Genetic characterization is the first step in the development of proper management strategies for preserving genetic diversity and preventing undesirable loss of alleles.

China exhibits a great diversity of ecosystems and abundant cattle resources, with nearly 30 million cattle from 53 indigenous breeds reared in specific geographic regions. To explore the genetic diversity and population structure of Chinese indigenous cattle, a population genetic analysis at both the individual and population levels was conducted and the admixture analysis was performed.

African indigenous taurine cattle display unique adaptive traits shaped by husbandry management, regional climate and exposure to endemic pathogens. They are less productive with respect to milk and meat production which has been associated with amongst others, small size, traditional beliefs, husbandry practices, limited feed resources, disease burden and lack of sustained breeding for trait improvement.

The history of African indigenous cattle and their adaptation to environmental and human selection pressure is at the root of their remarkable diversity. Characterization of this diversity is an essential step towards understanding the genomic basis of productivity and adaptation to survival under African farming systems.

The aim of this study was to analyze potential influences of polymorphisms within the regulatory region of the bovine SIRT6 gene on carcass quality traits. Expression analyses suggested that SIRT6 gene is predominately expressed in kidney, compared with other tissues. In 535 indigenous Chinese beef cattle, two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified within the promoter region of the SIRT6 gene.

Humpless Bos taurus cattle are one of the earliest domestic cattle in Africa, followed by the arrival of humped Bos indicus cattle. The diverse indigenous cattle breeds of Africa are derived from these migrations, with most appearing to be hybrids between Bos taurus and Bos indicus.

The paper presents the economic losses due to mastitis in different commissionaires of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. Mastitis in its different forms is expected to cause a total loss to the tune of INR 1311.767 crores in Uttar Pradesh. The expected loss caused by clinical mastitis amounts to INR 479.25 crores [(INR 354.3659 for crores indigenous cow and INR 124.8841 crores for cross bred cows)].

Milk samples of 146 indigenous cattle from three districts of Arunachal Pradesh were analysed to study the effect of location, lactation order and stage of lactation on various milk constituents. The means for Fat (%), SNF (%), Protein (%) and TS (%) were found to be 5.895 ± 0.032, 8.582 ± 0.027, 2.790 ± 0.017 and 14.483 ± 0.048 respectively. Stage of lactation significantly affected the fat (%) and total solids (%) in the milk of native cattle of Arunachal Pradesh. Solids not fat and Protein content of milk was not affected by the stage of lactation.

The study also relies on secondary sources including a wider range of literature given at various levels for its completeness and comprehensiveness. The study revealed different characteristics, management practices and conservation strategies adopted for the Bargur breed. The study helps to understand the role of the breed in eco system stability and thus the importance of the breed conservation.

Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) is one of the important molecular chaperon that can protect cells from thermal damage by involving in the maintenance of the intra cellular homeostasis primarily by controlling the process of protein folding. The indigenous breeds of cattle have been found to be more resistant to heat stress in comparison to the exotic breeds by way of expressing HSP70 as an adaptive response.

Umblachery cattle are well-known indigenous breed for its draught power in Cauvery delta region. Conservation of Umblachery cattle breed gained importance in recent years. In this background, the study with the financial assistance from Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Research Corpus Fund (TRCF) was conducted at Umblachery, a native village of Umblachery breed tract in Nagapattinam district, Tamil Nadu to identify and prioritize the constraints in Umblachery breed cattle farming faced by farmers through participatory approach.

Indigenous technical knowledge plays an important role in traditional dairy farming. In due course, there is danger of extinction of this knowledge. It is of paramount importance to document these practices and to assess their validity. Hence an attempt was made to document the prevailing ITK’s among the 10 dairy cattle owners each from four districts viz., Tirunelveli, Namakkal, Vellore and Thiruppur districts and also comparing the present ITKs with the Modern Veterinary drugs for Anestrum.
