In India this race is among the most importants(1). Guzerath is among the largest cattle of India and are prized in India as powerful draft animals and are moderate milk producers(1). In Asia, they are more created in the northern India(1).
In the United States, this race with the Nelore and Gir, are the three major Indian breeds that have had the most important impact on American cattle breeding(1). The Guzerat was the most important zebu breed for the formation of the American Brahman cattle(1). In the United States, pure guzeraths are rare, while they are common in Brazil and India(1).
In Brazil this race remains very common, but nelore has complete dominance in beef cattle. Nelore has more than 80% of the Brazilian market for beef cattle. Guzeraths must compete with Gir, Indo-Brazilian, Canchim,etc. for the 20% of the market left after the nelore. Some millions of Guzeraths are created in Brazil, against more than 100,000,000 of oxen with nelore blood(2).
