Abstract:

AbstractCattle belong to an important farm animal in many countries. Namibia is one of them, wherea cattle breeding holds the most significant part in Animal Husbandry. The indigenous cattlebreed can be successfully crossbred only under the adequate condition of nutrition. The studies of many materials and resources from Namibia show, the demand for high quality beef meat is arising gradually. The local breeders of cattle are not able to meet this demand at present. Charolais is one of the main BEEF breed in the world. Charolais breed is originated fromFrance. However, the breed has now spread all over the world and plays a vital role in ourmeat production therefore it is important to understand the problems that go along with thebreed.We will be working with the hypothesis that lack of knowledge and crossbreeding are themain causes of the problems affecting expansion of this breed. This thesis will look anddiscuss at ways why breeders choose to breed or not to breed of the Charolais breed.
