| Description |
The cattle of the Tropics provides information for students, research workers and others concerned with livestock improvement, by describing 300 breeds of cattle in the Tropics. It sets out a simple classification of the main types, Zebu, Sanga, humpless and the crosses between them, and gives a short description of each breed. There is a lack of accurate information on the performance and ability of indigenous breeds to respond to better management. The book emphasizes the need for proper evaluation of potentially useful breeds and describes some projects that give detailed comparisons of promising beef breeds in Southern Africa. Also emphasized is the potential value of a number of indigenous breeds hitherto not fully appreciated. Ways of improving production and breeding efficiency are discussed.
