The objective is to analyze different strategies for the evaluation of a metapopulation, composed of several breeds such as Nellore, Brahman and Guzerá using the single step genomic BLUP method for growth traits such as weaning weight (W210) and weight adjusted at 15 months of age. (W450). Phenotypic and genotypic information from the Nelore (Nelore Brasil program), Guzerá (Guzerá Brazil …
In relation the nutritional attributes of beef meat quality, the composition of fatty acid is important not only because it affects the meat palatability, but also it can affect the human health. The fatty acids harmful to human health have received attenuating attention in recent years. Some studies, with taurine breed, have shown that there is a genetic variation for the trait fatty aci…
This project aims to evaluate the impact on commercial beef cattle genetic evaluation by the inclusion of genomic information in the evaluation considering different uncertain paternity situations and different genotyping strategies in a real and simulated population. Will be simulated two herds, where one is a commercial beef cattle considering different proportion of genotyped young ani…

The objectives are to estimate genetic parameters and conduct Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) for feed efficiency (FE) to assess the impact of differential weighting of potential functional variants (PFVs), genes, and biological pathways on genomic prediction ability for FE in Nelore cattle. The evaluated traits will include residual feed intake (RFI), dry matter intake (DMI), aver…
This research project aims to evaluate different strategies for assessing a metapopulation composed of various breeds, such as Angus, Braford, Brangus, Charolais, Hereford, Montana Composite, and Nellore, using the single-step genomic BLUP method for traits related to feed efficiency, including residual feed intake (RFI), residual weight gain (RWG), and dry matter intake (DMI). Phenotypic…
This research project aims to: 1) verify the occurrence of GxE interaction for the traits dry matter intake (DMI) and residual feed intake (RAC) in Nelore cattle, by means of reaction norm models evaluating the effect of feed efficiency tests to assess the genetic variation of DMI and CAR in different environmental gradients; 2) evaluate the effect of GxE interaction on SNP markers in dif…

The evaluation of reproductive traits has played a crucial role in the genetic improvement of cattle. These traits are strongly influenced by genetic, environmental factors, and the combination of these factors leading to different adaptive responses to a variety of factors, including climatic conditions, nutritional conditions, management practices, and resource availability. In view of …
In this project, the objective is to analyze different strategies for the evaluation of a metapopulation composed of the Nelore, Brahman, and Guzerá breeds, using the single-step genomic method - BLUP for reproductive, growth and carcass quality characteristics, namely: calving probability (3P), weight-adjusted at 15 months of age (P450), loin eye area (AOL) and rump fat thickness (P8), w…
This research project aims to evaluate the effect of using one or many metafounders and missing pedigree in the estimates of (co) variance components, accuracy and bias of prediction for genomic values using the single step BLUP method for traits related to sexual precocity, fertility and longevity in cattle of Nellore breed. Phenotypic and genotypic information from Nellore Brazil breedi…

Rising global temperatures may interfere with the phenotypic expression of beef cattle. This change in the potential of animals in different environments results in genotype-environment interactions. Reproductive traits are strongly influenced by non-genetic factors, including environmental ones. Studies involving reaction norms and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are being used to…
Global warming is a major threat to livestock production and under heat stress conditions feed intake and efficiency is altered. In this context, this research project aims to: 1) investigate the occurrence of genotype-by-environment interactions (GxE) for dry matter intake (DMI) and residual feed intake (RFI) in Nellore cattle based on genomic reaction norm models; 2) estimate variance c…
The aim of this project is to evaluate the use of the weighted genomic matrix for the allelic frequencies of the reproductive traits stayability (STAY72) and probability of early calving (PP30) in females, and scrotal circumference (SC365) in males of the Nelore breed using the single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) method. For the studied traits, an available data set of approximately 505.00…
The objective of this research project is to obtain indirect predictions of genotyped animals of the Brahman, Guzerá and Tabapuã using a multibreed genetic evaluation that also includes the Nelore breed. For this, phenotypic and pedigree information from the breeding programs of the four breeds will be used, from the National Association of Breeders and Researchers (ANCP), Ribeirão Preto,…
