(1) The relative resistance to different cattle ticks of Gudali and Wakwa cattle with different levels of Brahman breeding, grazed on natural pastures in the subhumid tropics of Wakwa, Cameroon, was assessed using pasture tick infestations.
(2) Conformation and condition scores were similar for crossbred groups among spring-born calves, whereas conformation and condition scores decreased as proportion of Brahman breeding increased among fall-born calves.
(3) Records of birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW) and condition score (CS) from 1,467 Brahman and Brahman X Angus crossbred calves from Brahman and crossbred Brahman sires and Brahman, crossbred Brahman and Angus dams were collected at the Subtropical Agricultural Research Station, Brooksville, Florida, from 1971 to 1982.
(4) The digestion rate in Brahmans were similar irrespective of whether the diet was supplemented or not.
(5) Other findings included: small seminal vesicles in 1.6% of examinations (Brahman breed highest with 8.6%, P less than .001), enlarged ampullae, 1.9%, 'soft' testicles, 3.4% and small testicles, 7.5%.
(6) Half of 16 bulls and 16 steers (Angus or Angus x Brahman) aged 9 mo and weighing 290 kg were treated with an implant (200 mg trenbolone acetate and 24 mg estradiol).
(7) Morpho-behavioural distances between three endogamous Muslim groups (Sunni, Shia and Bohra) and one Hindu group (Brahman) of Madhya Pradesh, separately for males and females, were estimated.
(8) Comparisons of general combining abilities revealed that Angus, Hereford, and Jersey generally had lower maturing rates of EBWT relative to LWT and that Brahman and Holstein had higher maturing rates.
(9) The estimated Brahman direct additive effect on birth weight was 4.6 kg greater than Hereford.
(10) When the lower-N Pangola grass was supplemented there was a significant increase in intake by both breeds with the magnitude of the response in Herefords (42%) (P less than 0.001) being greater than that in Brahmans (15%) (P less than 0.05).
(11) Grade Brahman calves weighed more (P less than .01) at birth and gained more (P less than .01) preweaning than B calves, although sheath areas were not different.
(12) Values for lifetime total number of calves weaned were as follows: Hereford, 4.54; Red Poll, 5.45; Hereford x Red Poll, 4.45; Red Poll x Hereford, 5.49; Angus x Hereford, 5.98; Angus x Charolais, 5.57; Brahman x Hereford, 6.96; and Brahman x Angus, 6.22.
(13) These data indicated that genotype X environment interactions are important in beef production and increased proportions of Brahman breeding were advantageous in a spring-calving program but not in a fall-calving program.
(14) Calf birth weight was lower (P less than .05) in Angus- than Holstein- and Brahman-service-sire groups (30.6 vs 36.1, 43.4 kg).
(15) There were no differences (P greater than .10) in seminal E2 concentration among peripuberal Angus (n = 8), Hereford (n = 8) and Brahman (n = 17) bulls.
(16) For maintenance-adjusted feed intake, progeny of Simmental and Limousin dams were less efficient than those of Polled Hereford and Brahman dams.
