There is a growing global warming eminence that will change the environment in which animal production takes place. Thus, the developments of animal breeding programs that can respond rapidly to these changes with more sustainable production systems are needed. Therefore, is desirable to have animals that can be more adapted to the environmental conditions without reduction in their produ…
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…
This study investigates the genetic asso-ciation of the SNP present in the ACTA1 gene with performance traits, organs and carcass of broilers to help marker-assisted selection of a paternal broiler line (TT) from EMBRAPA Swine and Poultry, Brazil. Genetic and phenotypic data of 1,400 broilers for 68 traits related to body performance, organ weights, weight of carcass parts, and yields as …

The formation of terminal breeds of domestic sheep occurred through natural selection, domestication, and artificial selection. These processes generated conserved marks in the genome of individuals, called selection signatures. These allow the identification of alleles associated with traits of economic interest, within and between sheep breeds, even if they are phenotypically distinct. …
The dairy cattle industry mainly objective is the increase of milk production and the decrease of costs generated by the replacement of animals in the herd. Leading to achieve these goals, the conformation traits, milking ease and temperament can be used to help in the selection of more productive animals, with better body conformation and easy management. The aim of this study is to veri…
The body weight is one of the mainly traits evaluated in sheep selection and it provides a more accurate measure of carcass yield, and can be measured in the same animal at different ages. In addition, as well as traits related to the production, the selection should also include resistance and resilience to endoparasites traits, because sheep have a greater susceptibility to infections c…

Sheep domestication occurred 11,000 years ago, and since then, they have been selected worldwide for meat, wool, milk, and pelts. The formation of terminal breeds of domestic sheep occurred through natural selection, domestication, and artificial selection. It has resulted in a diverse range of livestock breeds that are adapted to diverse environmental conditions. These processes generate…
Linear conformation traits can be considered in indirect selection for milk yield and animal welfare because they are easy to measure and can be evaluated early in the animal's life. But for that, it is necessary to know the genetic association between the traits. The objective of this study is to verify if in the Gir breed it is possible modify sixteen linear conformation traits of mamma…
The random regression models have as main advantage a better adjustment of the longitudinal data. Multivariate analyzes are used to explore and understand the information contained in a dataset and allow a better understanding of the genetic structure of the population by exploiting the breeding values of the animals. The aim of this study is the use of cluster analyzes to explore the gen…
The knowledge of runs of homozygosity (ROH) and linkage disequilibrium (LD) have allowed applied studies with genomic information and have contributed to understand population structure, which improve the animal breedingpractices. However, due to historical and structural differences between populations,it was reported that even in short distances, Bos taurus indicus showed lower LD compa…
