Brazil's beef cattle production sector is largely responsible for economic growth and makes the country the largest beef exporter globally. However, high productivity can have detrimental environmental impacts such as the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Fundamentally, the core goal for the country is to supply the world demand for animal protein without disregarding sustainability, fo…
The Animal Science Institute (IZ), belonging to the São Paulo Agribusiness Technology Agency (APTA), from the São Paulo State Department of Agriculture and Supply (SAA), is responsible for developing and transferring technology and inputs for the sustainability of the systems of animal production. For the elaboration of the institutional Plan for Research Development of IZ (PDIP/IZ), the …
The research center located at Sertaozinho-SP (Beef Cattle Center/Animal Science Institute) has about 2200 ha divided into grazing, facilities and environmental reserve areas. Various beef cattle researches can be developed at Center facilities, which involves: 2000 animals from Nellore, Guzera, and Caracu breeds; 150 individual pens for feedlot; GrowSafe automatic feeding system, with ca…

The Brazilian sheep flock has been increasing but is not self-sufficient to attend the demand of lamb market. Some reasons that contribute to that is the old-fashioned management adopted by most producers in which animals are raised extensively with little or no technology, and the susceptibility to the of the gastrointestinal endoparasites, specially the Haemonchus contortus. Some traits…

The Brazilian sheep herd is increasing significantly, however the country is not self-sufficient in this meat production. Among the main factors contributing to this, we highlight those related to the herd management adopted by most producers, which employ extensive system with little or absence of technology and with the susceptibility to gastrointestinal parasites, affecting both meat q…
Sheep farming is growing in Brazil, but the country is not yet self-sufficient to attend the demand of the domestic market, resorting to imports. Health is one of the main factors that hinder efficiency in production, since the management adopted it is majority inadequate, intended for subsistence, in an extensive system and without investments in technology, increasing the susceptibility…
In ovine meat production one of the problems is susceptibility to gastrointestinal endoparasites, resulting in decreased production, resulting in decreased production. Fecal Egg Counts (FEC) and packed Cell Volume (CV) are traits used to evaluate the resistance of sheep to gastrointestinal nematode parasites. Genetically resistant animals are able to hinder the establishment of parasites …

Nowadays, the biggest problem for the expansion of the sheep industry is the incidence of gastrointestinal nematodes infection, which may in some situations make production systems economically unfeasible. Therefore, this study aims to compare the prediction accuracy of Multi-layer perceptron neural networks (MPL), Random Forest (RF), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) with the standa…
The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effect of different selection practices on reproductive and growth traits in males and females on the environmental sensitivity of cattle from three Nelore herds, in addition to estimating the genetic tendency for each herd both for the general production level as to the environmental sensitivity. Will be used about 7,233 information of …
