Zebu cattle ( Bos Indicus ), introduced to Brazil in the last century, were extensively crossbred with herds of native cattle.

Zebu cattle were however found to be inferior to the European breeds in growth rate and yield of meat.

The main Zebu breed which contributed to the formation to the Canchim was the Indubrazil, although Guzerá and Nelore cattle where also used.
