0 a type of cow that is often kept in hot countries, with a hump (= a large, round, raised part) on its back
The main types of livestock found are zebu (local-breed cattle) and goats.
The traditional zebu oxen are predominantly used for tillage operations.
Their success in adapting to relatively harsh environmental conditions is attributed to their possession of drought-resistant caudatum sorghum and hardy zebu cattle.
Fresh zebu milk and curds instead constituted a major part of the pastoralists' diet.
Most of these animals are of the humpbacked zebu breed.
Zebu may be either singular or plural, but zebus is also an acceptable plural form.
In honor of the discovery, he decided to establish a holiday called fandroana that would be distinguished by the consumption of well-fattened zebu meat.
Sheep and goats are also raised here, with zebu being recently introduced.
