Meaning
Chianina (plural Chianinas)
A breed of beef cattle from Italy.
Examples
Two Watusi × Chianina breeding herds have been set up in Boxmeer and Breda in the Netherlands, another herd using Barrosã is being set up in northern Portugal.
The finalised plans now call for setting up two breeding lines, Sayaguesa × Maremmana primitiva/Hungarian Steppe cattle and Watusi × Chianina, and later crossing these lines.
When you think of a white Italian cow, the Chianina breed immediately springs to mind but these are another native breed hailing from the Piemonte region called Piedmontese (razza bovina Piemontese).
