Question

_____belong to two different species, Bos indicus cows, and Bos bubalis buffaloes

Answer 1

Bos indicus cows and Bos bubalis buffaloes belong to indian cattle. Where Bos indicus or zebu or humped cattle belongs to indian breed, whereas bos bubalis is water buffalo which occur in india, Nepal, Bhutan etc.

Complete answer:
- Bos indicus is the Indian cattle, where Bos bubalis is the buffalo
- Buffaloes and cattle are work at almost at same speed that is 1m/second
- Cattle usually keep this energy for the most of the day but the buffaloes showed a decrease in speed very steadily to usually less than 0.9 m/second.
- When come to the body temperature, buffaloes body temperature where increased during work, so it is better to stop buffaloes from continue work inorder to cool down the body temperature
- Whereas cattle show the changes of body temperature which is less than 1 degree Celsius during the work.
- When it comes to the respiration rate, while working the respiration of buffaloes increased by the two folds of normal respiration, and respiration of cattle increased by threefold of normal respiration.
- While come to the daily energy expenditure by buffaloes and cattles on the days of working are very similar
- Buffaloes well took longer to achieve the work and are allowed for wallowing, which is the biggest disadvantage of buffalo.
- Where as both indian cattle i.e, Bos indicus and riverine buffalo which is Bos bubalis gives very poor yield of milk, but they are high in the percentage of fat and protein when compared to other cattles.

Note: Bos indicus is a domesticated cattle which also withstand the high temperature, whereas Bos bubalis is the Asian buffalo which is larger and heavier than the normal domestic buffaloes which are almost endangered.
