N’Dama × Jersey

The N’Dama × Jersey is experimental and small in numbers. The idea is to combine the trypanotolerance of the N’Dama with the milk production of the Jersey. Animals with more than 3/8 Jersey blood have been found to be too weak.

Varieties of N’Dama and stabilized/fixed N’Dama crosses include:
• Bambara
• Djakoré
• Gambian N’Dama
• N’Dama Grande
• N’Dama of Kaarta
• Guinean N’Dama
• N’Dama × Jersey
• N’Gabou
• Thomton (Boenca)
