Bos indicus, or Zebu cattle, are well-suited for fattening due to their adaptability to hot climates, disease resistance, and efficient feed conversion. These cattle thrive on rough forage and can gain weight steadily with proper nutrition and management. Their strong immune systems reduce veterinary costs, making them ideal for commercial beef production. With strategic feeding programs, Bos indicus breeds develop good marbling and muscle mass, enhancing meat quality. Crossbreeding with Bos taurus can further improve growth rates and carcass yield. Their resilience, combined with proper husbandry, ensures profitability in intensive and semi-intensive fattening operations across various environments.
