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 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…
The Gyr herds over the years have been selected for the weight growth and milk production, allowing having two different populations. The breeding programs influence the structure of a population as a consequence of a prolonged and unequal genetic contribution of the main ancestors, which associated with the permanence of some bulls for long periods participating in breeding seasons. The …

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…
The goal of this study is to evaluate the behavior of the Quarter Horses (QM) athletic horses, to test the hypothesis that horses with different behaviors when stabled (stimming, distrust and aggression) obtain negative results on sports. To obtain the answer, this study will utilize evaluations of traits on social behavior (SB) and stereotyped behavior (SB) from animals with genetic valu…
As the methane emission characteristics (CH4) are difficult to measure and there is little scientific information about their genetic variation, it is expected that estimates of genetic parameters and genetic variants associated to these characteristics favor the implementation of the selection to reduce the emission of CH4 by cattle. The objectives of the project are: to evaluate the cha…
