BoLA-DRB3 gene haplotypes show divergence in native Sudanese cattle from taurine and indicine breeds
Abstract Autochthonous Sudanese cattle breeds, namely Baggara for beef and Butana and Kenana for dairy, are characterized by their adaptive characteristics and high performance in hot and dry agro-ecosystems. They are thus used largely by nomadic and semi-nomadic pastoralists. We analyzed the divers...
