The Guzerat cattle is a Zebu cattle breed that was bred in Brazil , Kankrej cattle imported from India . The name is the Portuguese spelling of the Indian state of Gujarat . The guzerat is very similar to the kankrej: it is also very large and has long horns. Like the kankrej, the guzerat is bred both for meat production and as a draft animal. On average, guzerats are darker and larger than kankrej and have longer horns. Guzerats are among the main breeds used for breeding the American Brahman cattle , along with Kankrej , Girs, and Nelore cattle .
