Under adequate levels of nutrition Brahman's fertility will equal that of other breeds. The Brahman's heat tolerance is controlled by, dark pigmented skin dissipates internal heat increased number, efficiency and size of sweat glands, sleek coat which reflects sun increased area of loose skin and slower metabolic rate which means less heat generated Studies have demonstrated that Brahmans have a greater reproductive response to improved levels of nutrition than other breeds because of their ability to close down their reproductive system as a survival mechanism when under stress. When the body temperature rises cattle become stressed, resulting in reduced feeding time and feed intake, increased water consumption, wasted energy panting, poor quality meat and even death. Tolerance to heat is a major economic factor in tropical beef production. Lower rumen liquid volume and higher rumen bacterial fat results in higher levels of energy rich compounds in the blood stream.Īn animal's reproductive performance is closely linked to its adaptability and nutritional levels.
Reduced sulphur demand for hair growth means more available for amino acids associated with growth and production.Slower rate of protein turnover enables muscle and body tissue development to continue on low feed intake.Maintenance of higher intake levels of low quality feed.Reduced water intake means reduced urination resulting in less nitrogen loss and higher blood nitrogen levels.The ability to recycle nutrients through the blood stream and saliva promotes digestion.The Brahman's improved efficiency of production over breeds is closely linked to its unique digestive system attributes: Key ingredients for successful beef production are:
