Innate Immune Responses Associated with Resistance against Haemonchus contortus in Morada Nova Sheep [PDF]
Journal of Immunology Research, 2019 The immune response against Haemonchus contortus infections is primarily associated with the Th2 profile. However, the exact mechanisms associated with increased sheep resistance against this parasite remains poorly elucidated. The present study is aimed

Adaptive integumentary features of beef cattle raised on afforested or non-shaded tropical pastures [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe aimed to analyze the seasonal acclimatization process of Nelore and Canchim cattle raised on two production systems (non-shaded, NS, and integrated crop-livestock-forest, ICLF), based on the dynamics of the morphological and functional attributes of ...

Study on the introgression of beef breeds in Canchim cattle using single nucleotide polymorphism markers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of introgression of breeds in the Canchim (CA: 62.5% Charolais-37.5% Zebu) and MA genetic group (MA: 65.6% Charolais-34.4% Zebu) cattle using genomic information on Charolais (CH), Nelore (NE), and ...

Genetic Evaluation Weight, Carcass and Stayability in Nellore Females. [PDF]
J Anim Breed GenetABSTRACT Traits related to growth, carcass quality and stayability are key components in enhancing the profitability and sustainability of Nelore cattle production systems. This study aimed to estimate heritabilities and genetic and environmental correlations for these traits using a Bayesian approach. Data from 94,703 females were analysed for weights
