Genomics for African cattle challenges and opportunities: The East African shorthorn zebu story
Huge increases over the 2005/7 amounts
of cereals, dairy and meat will be needed by 2050
From 2bn to 3bn
tonnes cereals each year
From 664m to 1bn
tonnes dairy each year
From 258m to 460m
tonnes meat each year
High growth systems with externalities is at one end of the rapid growth spectrum where
dynamic markets, IT, investment capital, infrastructure and increasingly skilled human resources
result in fast-changing small-scale livestock systems. NOT OUR CLIENTS
Rapid inclusive growth systems address the need to develop sustainable food systems that
deliver key animal-source nutrients to the poor while facilitating a structural transition in the
livestock sector of developing countries. Mostly the transition is from many smallholders
keeping livestock in low-productive systems to eventually fewer households raising more
productive animals in more efficient, intensive and market-linked systems. Productivity traits -
Adaptive traits.
Fragile growth systems recognize that rapid, market-focused growth will not be the trajectory
for all poor livestock keepers. In areas where productivity is severely limited by remoteness,
harsh climates or environments, or by poor institutions, infrastructure and market access,
much emphasis will be to enhance the important roles of livestock in the resilience of people and
communities to environmental variability.
Productivity traits - Adaptive traits.

Taurine and zebu cattle - common ancestor
mtDNA data: 117,000 - 275,000 BP (Bradley et al., 1996)
Microsatellite data: 610,000 - 850,000 years (MacHugh et al., 1997)
African and European taurine have a common maternal ancestry in the
Near East (Bonfiglio 2012)
First African cattle were of the taurine type
Majority of African cattle are crossbreed zebu x taurine (Hanotte et al.
2000, 2002)
‘All’ African cattle (zebu, taurine, crossbreed) have a taurine mtDNA
(several studies) but both zebu and taurine Y chromosomes are present on the
African continent (Hanotte et al. 2000)

9 candidates regions
Following and two extended haplotype homozygosity-based
(iHS and Rsb) analyses 24 candidate genome regions within
14 autosomes and the X chromosome were revealed, in which
18 and 4 were previously identified in tropical-adapted and
commercial breeds, respectively. These regions overlap with
340 bovine QTL (productivity traits). They include 409
annotated genes, in which 37 were considered as candidates.
These genes are involved in various biological pathways (e.g.
immunity, reproduction, development and heat tolerance)

The five regions with zebu ancestry deficiency carry genes involved in
acquired immune response (e.g. IL17D and IRAK1), mRNA processing
regulation (e.g. U5 and U6), and cell cycle regulation (HECTD3). The
candidate region on BTA7, which shows an excess in zebu ancestry,
contains genes associated with critical biological pathways suggested
to be under selection in tropical adapted cattle, such as protein folding
and heat shock response (DNAJC7), and male reproduction and
fertility (SPATA24).

- Can we detect signature of selection in the EASZ ? ✔

- What is their biological significances (selection

- What is/are the genetic controls behind these
signatures?
Genomics for African cattle challenges and opportunities: The East African shorthorn zebu story
The results support that different selection pressures (e.g.
environmental constraints, human selection, genome
admixture constrains) have shaped the genome of EASZ.
These candidate regions represent genome landmarks to be
maintained in breeding programs aiming to improve
sustainable livestock productivity in the tropics.
The challenge is now to select for these regions in
crossbreeding improvement programs with exotic breeds

Genomics for African cattle challenges and opportunities: The East African shorthorn zebu story

  • 3. Huge increases over the 2005/7 amounts of cereals, dairy and meat will be needed by 2050 From 2bn to 3bn tonnes cereals each year From 664m to 1bn tonnes dairy each year From 258m to 460m tonnes meat each year
  • 4. High growth systems with externalities is at one end of the rapid growth spectrum where dynamic markets, IT, investment capital, infrastructure and increasingly skilled human resources result in fast-changing small-scale livestock systems. NOT OUR CLIENTS Rapid inclusive growth systems address the need to develop sustainable food systems that deliver key animal-source nutrients to the poor while facilitating a structural transition in the livestock sector of developing countries. Mostly the transition is from many smallholders keeping livestock in low-productive systems to eventually fewer households raising more productive animals in more efficient, intensive and market-linked systems. Productivity traits - Adaptive traits. Fragile growth systems recognize that rapid, market-focused growth will not be the trajectory for all poor livestock keepers. In areas where productivity is severely limited by remoteness, harsh climates or environments, or by poor institutions, infrastructure and market access, much emphasis will be to enhance the important roles of livestock in the resilience of people and communities to environmental variability.
