Graduated in Animal Science from São Paulo State University (UNESP) - Botucatu/SP, Master degree in Animal Production and Nutrition, and PhD in Animal Science at UNESP - Jaboticabal/SP. He is currently Associated Professor of the UNESP in the Department of Animal Nutrition and Improvement of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science - FMVZ - Botucatu/SP. He has experience in Animal Science, with emphasis on biology of skeletal muscular tissue, working mainly in the following subjects: Metabolism of cattle and horses skeletal muscle tissue, muscle tissue growth on animal of high performance, meat science, beef quality, beef cattle, and Nellore cattle. He is currently lead coordinator of the Meat Science Laboratory (LBC) of FMVZ - UNESP - Botucatu/SP. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The low intramuscular fat (IMF) content in beef produced in Brazil contributes significantly to the lower value added in the consumer market. Several strategies have been proposed to increase the deposition of IMF, aiming to improve beef quality and meet the most specialized markets. This study will describe the signaling pathways of adipogenesis and marbling by transcriptome sequencing …
This project aims to conduct a more specifies approach on the characterization, expression and quantification of important proteins related with the growth of the skeletal muscle tissue and meat tenderness in of Nellore animals. For that will be used data and samples from 90 male animals Nellore whole aged approximately 27 months undergoing growth management and finishing in feedlot for 9…
This project aims to appraise the allele and genotype frequencies of DGAT1-VNTR polymorphisms of the gene DGAT1 and G346A (GeneBank AY28575) of gene TCAP in Nellore beef cattle (Bos indicus), as well as check the occurrence of associations between these polymorphisms and traits related to carcass composition and meat quality in the breed. It will be used about 600 Nelore feedlot Cattle, u…
In beef cattle, its common observe higher levels of marbling and less muscle development, which may result in leaner bovine carcasses. Some genetic, nutritional and management strategies have been proposed to increase the deposition of intramuscular fat (marbling) in animals, aiming to improve product quality and serve more demanding markets. The supplementation with vitamin A shortly aft…
Brazil plays an enormous and important role in the world beef market and considering the increasing number of animals finished in feedlots further studies on meat quality traits are needed. In feedlots, diets with a high proportion of starch (e 70%) may be used. Alternatively, in order to reduce the costs of the formulations, the reduction of the corn grain (and starch) is possible throug…
