The Indu-Brasil or Indo-Brazilian is a Brazilian breed of zebuinebeef cattle. It was bred in the early twentieth century in the Triângulo Mineiro in the western part of Minas Gerais state, and particularly in the area surrounding Uberaba. It was originally known as the Induberaba. It derives from imported Indian zebuine cattle, principally Gir and Kankrej (which in Brazil are known as Guzerá).[4]: 219 It was formerly an important beef breed, but in the twenty-first century is an endangered breed.[3]: 205 It is characterised by particularly large ears, perhaps the largest seen in any breed of cattle.[3]: 205
The Indu-Brasil derives from zebuine cattle imported to Brazil from India, principally of Kankrej stock (known in Brazil as Guzerá), Ongole (known in Brazil as Nellore) and Gir stock.[4]: 219 [5]: 29 It was bred in the early twentieth century in the Triângulo Mineiro in the western part of Minas Gerais state, and particularly in the area surrounding Uberaba, which gave rise to its original name, Induberaba; the name was changed to the present one in 1936.[5]: 29 A breed association was started in 1939[3]: 205 and another, the Associação Brasileira dos Criadores de Indubrasil, was established in 1962.[6]
It was formerly an important beef breed; in 1991 a breeding stock of 80000 cows was reported to the DAD-IS database of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.[3]: 205 [2] In the twenty-first century it is an endangered breed:[3]: 205 a total population in Brazil of approximately 900 head was reported to DAD-IS for 2017, for 2020 and for 2021.[2] The breed is reported by fourteen countries, all in Central or South America;[7] the largest population is in Mexico, where in 2022 the breeding stock numbered 4120 head – 2492 cows and 1348 bulls.[8]
The cattle have good heat and parasite resistance and thrive in the tropics. They are white to dark grey in colour with short horns and very large ears. They have the typical Zebu shoulder hump.[citation needed]
