“Our findings not only highlight theuniquenessofNigeriancattle compared to other African breeds, but they also show evidence of convergent adaptation between cattle, dogs, and humans in Africa,” he stated. The longhorn cattle, with their distinctive long horns and rugged appearance, have long been an enduring symbol of the American West. The modern domestic cattle were initially domesticated about 10,000 years ago from. two putative domestication centers, the Near East for Bos taurus and the Indian. indicus (Loftus et al., 1994a). This study reports the current genetic status and new insights on the adaptation of zebu cattlein sub-Saharan region of West Africa using GBS approach. Theunique population structure ofNigerian zebu cattle observed serves as an important genetic resource in West Africa. The African cattle provide unique genetic resources shaped up by both diverse tropical environmental conditions and human activities, the assessment of their genetic diversity will shade light on the mechanism of their remarkable adaptive capacities. CattleFarming is the business of breeding cattle (cows, bulls, etc.) for many reasons. It is generally done for meat, dairy products, and agriculture-related purposes. This kind of farming is usually done on a large, open farm. Along with breeding other animals, it falls under Livestock Farming. Cattlefarming in Nigeria plays a dual role in both subsistence and commercial agriculture. On one hand, it provides meat, milk, hides, and manure for rural communities.
