Yes. A zebu is just a different species of bovine (Bos indicus) which has the large hump and ears, different from those cattle of the species Bos taurus.
Zebu cows usually have quite a long gestation period, which can stretch from 290 to 300 days in length.
Zebus primarily eat grass, hay, and other vegetation. They are herbivores and rely on a diet of plants for their nutrition. In some cases, they may also consume grains or supplements if provided by their caretakers.
The zebu, also known as Bos indicus, is believed to have originated on the Indian subcontinent. It has been domesticated for thousands of years and is now found in many tropical regions around the world.
The Zebra and the Zebu, also known as the Humped Cow.
Zebu (Bos taurus indicus) are native to South Asia, particularly in regions like India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and parts of Southeast Asia. They have been introduced to many other parts of the world for agricultural purposes, such as Africa, Americas, and Australia. Zebu are well-suited to hot and humid climates.

Yes, there are plenty of Zebu-related breeds like those in India and Africa that are used for milk production. They can produce milk just as well as any other cow, even though they won't produce as much as the famous Holstein.

The exact same thing that any "normal cow" would eat: grass, hay, silage and grain.
Bos Taurus if it's of the European breeds, or Bos indicus if it is related to the Zebu-type breeds.

The Zebra and the Zebu, also known as the Humped Cow.
A Sindhi, or rather the proper breed name being the Red Sindhi, is a zebu-type of bovine from India. Zebu are classified as Bos indicus because of the large ears, pronounced hump over their shoulders, and loose, thick skin over much of their body.
It's like a cow......yup... there are 17 million zebus in the world. WOW....hey look up the Song of the Cebu on youtube...the veggie tales one...It's about zebus.
Zebu and Zebra. EDIT 'Zebu' is spelt 'Xebu'!
Zebu cows are typically ready for breeding between 12 to 15 months of age, although it is essential to consider their physical development and overall health. Breeding too early can lead to complications for both the cow and her offspring. It's best to wait until they reach about 60% of their mature weight to ensure they are physically prepared for pregnancy and lactation. Always consult with a veterinarian for specific recommendations based on individual animals.
