Resumen

Este artículo describe brevemente el origen de los, bovinos “criollos” en Colombia, el nicho ecológico donde ha prosperado el ganado criollo Blanco Orejinegro (BON) y las principales características zootécnicas y productivas de esta raza. Se presentan los resultados de heterosis hallados en planes de cruzamiento con las razas Cebú (Brahman), Charolais y Santa Gertrudis.

Summary

This paper describes briefly the origin of the “Criollo” cattle in Colombia. The ecological environment where the Blanco Orejinegro (BON) cattle has prospered and the main zootechnical and production characteristics of this breed are discussed. The heterosis results obtained when crossbreeding the Zebu (Brahman), Charolais and Santa Gertrudis breeds are also briefly presented.
