What's the difference between zebu and zobo?

Zebu


Definition:

  • (n.) A bovine mammal (Ros Indicus) extensively domesticated in India, China, the East Indies, and East Africa. It usually has short horns, large pendulous ears, slender legs, a large dewlap, and a large, prominent hump over the shoulders; but these characters vary in different domestic breeds, which range in size from that of the common ox to that of a large mastiff.

  • (7) The condition was more prevalent in zebu-Friesian crosses than the local breeds.
  • (8) In April, May, June, and September, the probability that A. americanum detaching from cattle would drop into a quadrat presumed to be habitable for ticks was significantly lower for Zebu cattle (4.0-29.9%) than for British (64.9-72.6%) or Zebu-British (48.1-78.7%) cattle.
  • (9) Brown goats originating from Zaria and areas north of it, and Friesian-zebu calves from the Shika Agricultural Research Station, were uniformly and highly susceptible to the disease.
