Adaptar Belmont — iibso ama iibi

History of the breed. The Adaptalur Belmont breed was created as a result of crossing Shorthorns and Herefords in Australia. The breed was developed at the Belmont Research Station near Rockhampton, Queensland. The selection primarily focused on cattle that exhibited increased resistance and endurance to tropical heat and ticks. In the northern regions of Australia, cattle raised in tropical conditions face a number of challenges. Among them are parasitic infections, a hot climate, and seasonal changes in diet. The genome of Adaptalur Belmont contains an element that guarantees exceptional resistance to ticks in cattle. The Australian Hereford Society promotes the spread of this gene by using embryo transfer methods. Exterior.
