Answer Details
The cattle breed in West Africa tolerant to trypanosomiasis is the "N'dama". N'dama is a cattle breed that originated in West Africa and is known for its tolerance to trypanosomiasis, a parasitic disease that affects cattle in the region. The breed is also resistant to ticks and other parasites, making it well-suited for the tropical climate of West Africa. N'dama cattle are smaller in size compared to other breeds and have distinctive long and curved horns. They are also known for their docile temperament and ability to survive on poor quality forage. In contrast, the White Fulani and Sokoto Gudali breeds are known for their milk production, while Friesian is a breed of dairy cattle originating from the Netherlands. These breeds are not known for their tolerance to trypanosomiasis or other parasitic diseases common in West Africa.
