Abstract
Zebu cattle (Bos indicus) is one of the basic species of agricultural civilization. Modern problems of reduction of animal biodiversity of agricultural species, fertile soils, changes in climatic conditions and increasing the importance of not only productive, but also the adaptive potential of animals, lead to special attention to zebu cattle. Its use in breeding programs for the improvement of European cattle (Bos taurus) could help to overcome some of these problems. In this regard, this paper presents an overview of the data accumulated on the gene pool features of zebu cattle, intraspecific differentiation by characteristics of meat and dairy productivity, adaptive potential and population-genetic relationships with other members of the genus "real" bulls (Bos). Zebu cattle belongs to the types of farm animals of universal using, of African-Asian origin, phenotypically differs from European cattle by the presence of a hump serving as a fat depot. Zebu cattle are resistant to a number of infectious diseases, in particular, to pyroplasmidosis, which allows it to be used for hybridization with European cattle to increase the adaptive capacity of the latter. The comparative analysis of the zebu gene pool with other representatives of the genus Bos allows to conclude that its hybridization with European cattle could increase the genetic diversity of the latter, adaptive potential, as well as influence on the desired quality of the final livestock products.
