Development and implementation of genomic predictions in beef cattle
(2016-01-01)
• Beef production represents a considerable contribution to local and global economies and food security but also the environmental footprint of agricultural production systems. • The development of accurate genomic ...
BILL E. KUNKLE INTERDISCIPLINARY BEEF SYMPOSIUM: Temperament and acclimation to human handling influence growth, health, and reproductive responses in Bos taurus and Bos indicus cattle
(Amer Soc Animal Science, 2014-12-01)
Temperament in cattle is defined as the fear-related behavioral responses when exposed to human handling. Our group evaluates cattle temperament using 1) chute score on a 1 to 5 scale that increases according to excitable ...

Use of repellents for honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) in vitro in the yellow passion-fruit (Passiflora edulis Deg) crop and in confined beef cattle feeders
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), Centro de Estudos de Venenos e Animais Peçonhentos (CEVAP), 2004-01-01)
The presence of Apis mellifera in places such as candy and soft drink factories, restaurants, and ice-cream shops has been a concern to many people. In the yellow passion-fruit crop, Apis mellifera is able to collect all ...
Frequencies of candidate genes and associations with carcass and meat traits in nellore and crossbred cattle
(2016-02-01)
The objective of this work was to estimate allelic frequencies of the polymorphisms IGF2/MboII (G > T) of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) gene, DQ499531.1:g.134A > T of the pro-melanin-concentrating hormone (PMCH) ...
Drivers of change in animal protein production systems: changes from 'traditional' to 'modern' beef cattle production systems in Brazil
(2013)
Until 1990, beef cattle production in Brazil was recognized as an enterprise of low investment, low cost of production, as well as an extensive production system that used large land areas to be economically feasible. The ...
Differential Haematobia irritans infestation levels in beef cattle raised in silvopastoral and conventional pasture systems
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-11-15)
The use of silvopastoral systems (SPS) can be a good alternative to reduce the environmental impacts of livestock breeding in Brazil. One of the reasons for its scarce adoption is the lack of information on health and ...
Production potential of beef cattle in tropical pastures: a review
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2021-11-08)
The expression production potential represents the maximum amount of products that can be obtained per unit area. However, what is the maximum amount of product that can be obtained in a pasture area? To answer this question, ...
Growth and carcass traits associated with GH1/Alu I and POU1F1/Hinf I gene polymorphisms in Zebu and crossbred beef cattle
(Sociedade Brasileira de Genética, 2006-01-01)
The objectives of the present study were to estimate the allele and genotype frequencies of the GH1/Alu I and POU1F1/Hinf I polymorphisms in beef cattle belonging to different genetic groups and to determine the effects ...
