An alternative to increase productivity in beef cattle is use composite beef cattle formed from the combination of racial groups or different biological types, aiming at the maximum maintenance of heterosis. The processes that involve the genetic evaluations, result in animals with high genetic merit and efficiency, in addition to promoting the use of heterosis, which can contribute to th…
This approach has the aim of evaluate molecular markers associated with meat quality and physiologic response to stress pre-slaughter of a commercial bovine herd finished in feedlot. Thus, meat and blood samples from F1 animals derived from South African Simmental (males) and Nellore (females) crossbreed will be analyzed. Blood samples will be collected for endocrine analysis (cortisol an…

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 …
With this project aims to determine possible proteins or peptides present in the liver of Nelore cattle that may be associated with the phenotype of feed efficiency (FE). To this end, liver samples collected in confinement experiment conducted previously which was characterized Nelore males at high and low feed efficiency using residual intake and body weight gain indicator. Liver samples…
The world population growth estimated for the coming decades and the consequent need to produce more food brings to the Brazilian beef industry, considering its importance in global market, the challenge of increase production while reducing the environmental impact of meat chain. One way is by selecting animals with high feed efficiency, which not only produce more meat per kilogram of f…

The beef cattle industry has a significant role in the production of greenhouse gases. One way to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is selecting animals with high feed efficiency, which consume less food and therefore generate less manure and methane per kilogram of meat produced, improving the productivity and sustainability of beef cattle industry. Although extremely important, this tra…
