“…However, the average body weight from this study is different from other studies. Haque et al (2012) showed 24 months Brahman cross bull weighted at 222 kg; while Tahuk et al (2017) showed that 24 to 30 months Bali bull weighted at 229 kg. The highest growth occurs at the age of 1 to 4 years.…”

The aim of this research was to analyze the correlation of age of Bali bull to the body weight and semen qualities. The materials were 50 Balibulls data collected from 2012 to 2018. Therecordeddatawere consisted ofsemen productions (n = 1304) and body weight (n = 1544). The observation was conducted to analysis the interrelationship between the Bali bulls age and body weight (BW), to the semen volume (SV), individual motility (IM) and sperm concentration (SC). The obtained data was analyzed with One-Way ANOVA analysisby using SPSS 24 and followed with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test to determine any significant differences. The correlation between Bali bulls age (the independent variable) and semen quality (the dependent variable) was computed by using Pearson correlation method and presented in linear regression models. The results showed that the Bali bulls agesignificantly affect (P<0.05) the BW from the age of 1 to 10 years old. The age also showed a significant effect (P<0.05) on the semen qualities. The age correlated significantly (P<0.05) with BW, SV, IM, SC were 0.658, 0.386, 0.134 and 0.086, respectively. Inconclusion,the age of Bali bull could be used as an indicator todetermineits BWand semenqualities.

“…In contrast, Wagyu cattle have the goal of breeding to produce high-fat meat, especially the marbling (Gotoh et al, 2014). Whereas the Brahman Cross cattle, in contrast to the two previous cattle breeds that were characteristic of Taurin cattle, the Brahman Cross was selected towards its resistance to rough climate, poor grazing and more resistant to parasites and disease (Haque et al, 2011). A similar pattern of data was also shown in birth weight (Table 2), Wagyu Bull Cross cattle had the smallest performance (P<0.01) compared to the other two crossbred cattle.…”

Crossing between cattle breeds is the one way to improve the genetic quality of cattle. Controlling crosses using genetic markers will speed up the process. The IGFBP-3 gene is a potential marker of selection due to its role in regulating growth and metabolism in cattle. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of genotype on birth size and birth weight using IBFBP-3 gene marker. A total of 32 cattle consisted of 10 Brahman Cross cattle, 14 cattle results of Brahman Cross cow crosses with Belgian Blue bull, and 8 cattle results of Brahman Cross cow crosses with Wagyu bull. Sequences of 563 bp, including the part intron 2, exon 3, and the part intron 3. Genotyping was done by sequencing method and PCR-RFLP method with the restriction enzyme PvuII. An SNP was identified at location g 3,930 (G>A). Two genotypes were observed, namely GA and GG. The genotype did not affect the performance of birth (body weight, body length, height at withers, heart girth) of the research sample. Birth traits are influenced by the cattle breed, it can be seen that Brahman Cross cattle have a body length that is bigger than the other crossbred.

“…A beef breed development project has been carried out in the Department of Livestock Services (DLS) in 2009 in selected areas of Bangladesh. Under this project, semen of Brahma bulls was imported from the USA and used to inseminate indigenous cows to produce graded calves (Haque et al, 2013). Although there are some high yielding dairy breed of cattle, there is limited number of high yielding meat producing breeds in Bangladesh.…”

“…But there is limited study on this breed in Bangladesh. Recently, Haque et al (2013) conducted a study to compare the growth of 25% and 50% Brahma breed in Bangladesh, however there is no such study on disease resistance of this breed in our native climate. Beef production is the result of a combination of both genetic and environmental factors.…”

Background: The Brahma is a breed of cattle which grows very rapidly and suitable for high quality meat production. The breed originating from native cattle dwelling at unfavorable climate of India has adapted with scarcity of food, external and internal parasitism, infectious diseases and weather extremities. There is very limited study on adaptation and performance of Brahma cattle particularly in the context of Bangladesh where meat production is a crying demand. In this study, we evaluated the comparative performance of Brahma and indigenous cattle in terms of body weight gain and disease resistance in Bangladesh. Methods: A total of 10 Brahma calves and 10 indigenous calves were monitored for a period of 18 months during June 2018 to November 2020. Body weight gain and occurrence of diseases in both breeds were recorded. Two-way repeated measure ANOVA with Bonferroni post-tests was performed to compare the growth of both Brahma and indigenous calves. Results: At birth, both Brahma (15.75±0.19 kg) and indigenous (17.55±0.35 kg) calves had overall similar body weight. However, the Brahma calves gained significantly higher body weight than the indigenous calves over the next months. For example, the Brahma calves had higher body weight at 6 months (85.5±2.50 kg vs 70.75±0.43 kg), 12 months (160.3 kg±5.667 vs 120.4±0.89 kg) and 18 months (237.5±4.58 kg vs 169.8±1.72 kg) than the indigenous calves. An average daily body weight gain was 410.6±7.7 g and 282±2.9 g for Brahma and indigenous calves, respectively. Analysis of the disease records also showed a decreased number of diseases in Brahma than the indigenous cattle. Conclusion: Our study indicated a better adaptation and growth of Brahma cattle in comparison to the indigenous breed. Therefore, the Brahma breed can be a very promising source to reduce the deficiency of animal proteins in Bangladesh.
