"Recently, the concept of reproducibility of scientific results has gained importance, and practices to ensure it are being implemented in the most important scientific journals, which now require the deposit, along with the article, of the data used and, in a few cases, the scripts and routines used in the analysis procedures. Specifically in the data formatting stage for genetic evaluat…
This study was designed to estimate genetic parameters for the following traits of Brahman cattle in Brazil: age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI), rebreeding (REB), and stayability (STAY). For REB, the value 1 was assigned to heifers that rebred and calved after first calving and the value 0 was assigned to heifers that failed to rebreed after first calving. Likewise, for STA…
Brazil has the largest commercial cattle herd in the world basically composed by zebu, and the Brahman breed cutting the fastest growing in recent years. One way to help achieve greater genetic gain in population of Brazilian Brahman is by population analysis using pedigree information assessing, mainly, the genetic variability. In this work will be used pedigree data belonging to the Bra…
In the animal breeding field, due to the high costs of set and maintenance of the experiments, due to large generation times and theoretical complexity, the simulation software have become very important. However, the developed programs present some limitations: 1) they are specific; 2) they present costs of purchase and/or use; 3) they are build for just one operating system; 4) they are…

Brazil stands out as the fourth largest producer of pig meat in the world, generating thousands of jobs, thus being an important activity for the country. However, Brazilian pig farming depend on approximately 75% of genetic material for breeding programs established abroad, as few national breeding programs persist. In order for these programs to be viable in the medium and long term, an…
The sheep industry cutting presents itself as an increasingly important economic activity for the country and has seen intense efforts of several groups seeking to promote improvements in livestock productivity and these can be achieved using genetic selection, where genetic parameters features of interest are utlizadas as an aid in developing strategies to maximize genetic gain for trait…
The techniques used in genetic improvement is made to allow selection of various features, allowing animals really fit and with a favorable genetic are not eliminated early from the herd. However, small and medium producers have no organization, knowledge or software needed to perform the selection, thus requiring the use of simpler techniques, such as method and Tandem Independent Cullin…
