Madura cattle, also known as Madurese cattle, are a hybrid breed that has been created by crossbreeding Zebu and Banteng cattle found on the island of Madura in Indonesia. The original cattle population on the island was the wild Banteng, which is similar to Balinese cattle. The introduction of Sinhala cattle, a Zebu breed from Sri Lanka, more than 1500 years ago led to the creation of the hybrid breed through crossbreeding. The breed is known for its reddish-brown coloration with white patterning and small size, with mature bulls weighing between 250-300 kg. It is used for racing by locals and is considered a valuable breed, with an estimated population of 900,000 in 2002. Efforts are being made to conserve the breed on Sapudi island.
