Fogera cattle is an Ethiopian breed of cattle.[1][2] One of its typical characteristics are broad hoofs, that allow it to move more easily in the marshes of the Fogera Plain. At Woreta, the agricultural research centre specialises in preserving the breed.
introgression with West African taurine due to pastoralism
Furthermore, the diverse agro-ecology led to diverse farming systems which, in turn, made Ethiopia a centre of secondary diversification[3] for livestock :
The Sanga cattle originated in Ethiopia. They are a major bovine group in Africa – a cross-breeding of local long-horned taurines and Arabian zebus[4]
The Zenga (Zebu-Sanga) breeds, which resulted from a second introduction and crossing with Indian zebu.[4] The Fogera cattle are part of this group
