• Abstract

  The objective of this project is to evaluate the application of Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (BLUP) and single step Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (ssGBLUP) methods using scenarios with different proportions of genotyped animals with missing pedigree and estimate the inbreeding coefficients for mating designs considering distinct proportions of multiple sires involving a set of …

  Genomic information for genetic evaluation and mating design in commercial Nellore cattle populations, BP.PD

• Abstract

  A large amount of genomic data is now available for identification and selection of genetically superior individuals, with potential to increase the accuracy of prediction of breeding values and, thus, the efficiency of animal breeding programs. Several statistical methods have been proposed for use in genomic data. Although several studies are being conducted, is still very limited numbe…

  Semi-parametric statistical models for complex traits analysis using genomic data from Nelore cattle, BP.DR

• Abstract

  The meat produced in Brazil from Zebu has organoleptic characteristics that are not well accepted in the most demanding markets. The lack of uniformity in the age at slaughter, the lack of subcutaneous fat and the marbling of meat in not satisfactory quantities, have great influence on tenderness, color and palatability of the final product. Despite this, the breeding for meat tenderness …
