Among them, Loudi cattle and Xiangxi cattle are the local cattle in Hunan, and the environment in Loudi is relatively more enclosed and humid than that in Xiangxi. To study the genome and origin of Loudi cattle in hot and humid environments, 29 individuals were collected and sequenced by whole-genome resequencing. In addition, genomic data were obtained from public databases for 96 individuals representing different cattle breeds worldwide, including 23 Xiangxi cattle from western Hunan. Genetic analysis indicated that the genetic diversity of Loudi cattle was close to that of Chinese cattle and higher than that of other breeds.
