The Gyr breed and its crosses are unquestionably a consolidated genetic material, being the base along with the other zebu breeds, for the support of the cattle raising of tropical and subtropical countries like Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela. The productive and reproductive potentials of the animals are expressed only to the extent that their environmental conditions allow. Th…
In general, Brazilian beef herds need to improve their indexes of efficiency and the final product (meat) quality. Moreover, nowadays, there is a worldwide concern about the animal production sustainability, which could be improved selecting animals with decreased enteric methane emission to the atmosphere. With the evolution of the complete genome sequencing and the decreasing sequencing…

The objective of this study is to estimate the genetic parameters, correlations, and trends of morphometric and dynamic traits in the Mangalarga horse breed. Various databases will be analyzed, including a file of scores and measurements from the definitive registry, containing 1,346,049 scores for morphometric and dynamic traits, obtained between 1977 and 2019, and belonging to 65,101 an…
Research into meat and carcass quality in Nelore cattle is still limited and challenging, as these traits are polygenic and difficult to measure. Several candidate genes, such as DGAT1, CAPN5, TG and MADH3, have previously been associated with meat quality in taurine breeds. Identifying these genes and estimating their allelic (fa) and genotypic (fg) frequencies in the Nelore breed will p…
The high production and export of beef cattle in Brazil resulted in an increasing number of feedlot-finished animals within the national territory and allowed the country to occupy a prominent position in the meat market worldwide. However, the high cost of feed still represents one of the biggest expenses in feedlots. Feed efficiency is directly related to the increase in meat production…
Babesiosis is a disease caused by the tick Rhipicephalus microplus that has a serious impact on the beef cattle industry in Brazil. Knowing the association of your incidence and feed efficiency, a relevant parameter for bull selection, it can be of great importance to improve the indices of production. However, the effect of the association of these two parameters has not yet been verifie…
The Mangalarga (ML) horse breed is one of the main horse breeds in Brazil, with a herd distributedthroughout the national territory. Horses of aesthetic beauty, with comfortable gait and trotted gait,of medium size, intended for saddle, suitable for sports, field work and leisure. Classified asstraight, mediolinear and eumetric, they are horses with desirable qualities for a saddle horse,…
The aim of the project is to analyze the estimates of the parameters and genetic values of the characteristics cow sense (CS) and monetary profitability (RM) in athletes practicing the cutting modality in Brazil, in order to provide technical information for use in the design of mating in animal breeding programs of the Quarter Horse breed. The characteristic CS is defined as the innate a…
