Admixture Mapping of Cattle in Eastern and Western India
The present study is undertaken with the primary objective of genetically characterizing newly identified indigenous cattle populations from the Eastern and Western India and comparing them with crossbred cattle from the same region and well-established indigenous cattle breeds from across India. This effort forms part of the national initiative Mission Zero Non-Descript launched by ICAR to address the lack of genetic information and identity among the large proportion 56 percent of non-descript cattle within 30 million livestock population of India.
