Professor José Bento Sterman Ferraz, graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the University de São Paulo (USP), in 1977, MSc in Genetics (USP, 1980), PhD in Genetics (USP, 1981) and Full Professor at the College of Animal Science and Food Engineering of the University of Sao Paulo (since 1997) is a CNPq Researcher since 1989, being at the top of that carrier (1-A) in 2015. He has experience in Genetics, Quantitative Genetics, focusing in sire evaluation of purebred and crossbred beef cattle and sheep and genetic parameters. Nowadays, leads the Group of Animal Breedind and Biotechnology at FZEA/USP where conduct studies on validation of genetic (molecular) markers in beef cattle, GWAS and GS. Since 04/2010 he is one of the Genetics, Animal Genetic Resources and Breeding Section Editor of the Scientific Journal Livestock Science, published by Elsevier. I was, also, the Coordinator of Faculty Evaluation of Animal and Food Sciences of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, from 2010 to 2013. In May, 2023, ISI Web of Science and Scopus pointed and h Index of 31, Scholar Google presented a H index of 44 and a i10 index of 172, showing the impact of his carrier as a scientist. He was the Editor of the Special Issue "Genomics Applied to Livestock Production", of the Livestock Science, available at the 10th World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production, Vancouver, August, 2014 and he is the Adjunct Scientific Coordinator of the Reaserch Nucleus on Animal Breeding, Biotecnology and Transgenesis of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Genomics applied to ruminant production 3The Brazilian beef cattle, besides being one of the main highlights of animal agriculture, have a large importance in the world market, because the country has one of the largest beef herds in the world, with around 200 million heads, predominantly animal origin Bos indicus, wherein Nellore breed influences approximately 90% of the population. Effe…

The complexity of reproductive traits as well as their gender-dependent phenotypic expression, it is crucial to explore/evaluate new methodologies and understand the implications of applying genomic predictions in order to improve the reproductive efficiency of bulls, heifers, and cows by obtaining information creating opportunities to improve the reproduction of Nellore animals through g…
Livestock production is one of the main and most important components of the economy linked to agribusiness in Brazil. The country is recognized among the top worldwide beef producers and exporters. For this reason, the development and use of composite animals, such as Montana Tropical® Composite, through the combination of different biological types, represents a promising alternative to…
Livestock production is one of the main important components of the Brazilian economy. The country is recognized among the top worldwide beef producers and exporters. For this reason, the development and use of composite animals, such as Montana Tropical Composite, through the combination of different biological types represents a promising alternative to maximize production due to the ex…
Considering the importance of in vitro embryo production and its increasing use in beef cattle production, the objective of this study was to identify regions associated with reproductive traits, such as the number of oocytes aspirates (OA), the number of viable oocytes (OV) and the number of viable embryos (EV). The database presents about 2,700 follicular aspirations of oocytes from app…

This study will evaluate the inclusion of genomic information in the prediction of genetic values, with or without the inclusion of the X chromosome markers, as well as explore our knowledge of the mechanisms that modulate the genetic architecture of andrology traits and semen quality in males and precocity in females in Nellore cattle. The dataset consists of pedigree information contain…
Beef cattle is one of the main and most important components of the economy linked to agribusiness in Brazil. The country is recognized as one of the world's leading producers and exporters of beef. The development and use of composite breed animals, such as Montana Composto Tropical®, a concept that makes use of the combination of different biological types, represents a promising altern…
Beef cattle production is a major component of the Brazilian economy and places the country amongst the top worldwide beef producers and exporters. The development and use of composite populations represent a promising alternative to increase production efficiency and quality in beef cattle. The strategic combination of different breeds poses a great opportunity to maximize genetic variab…
