This report studies banteng cattle, the maura, guar, mithan, kouprey, anoa, tamaraw, yak, and babirusa -- animals that are unfamiliar to international animal science. This report aims to kindle awareness of the possible promise and to stimulate their introduction into projects in the world's animal research facilities. Development agencies should regard the local species detailed in this report as important genetic material for bolstering the long-term success of domestic livestock breeding programs.
