High throughput analysis of MHC‐I and MHC‐DR diversity of Brazilian cattle populations
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) contains many genes that play key roles in initiating and regulating immune responses. This includes the polymorphic MHCI and MHCII genes that present epitopes to CD8+ and CD4+ T‐cells, respectively. Consequently, the characterisation of the repertoire of MHC genes is an important component of improving our ...

Abstract High‐throughput genomic markers provide an opportunity to assess important indicators of genetic diversity for populations managed in livestock breeding programs. While well‐structured breeding programs are common in developed countries, in developing country situations, especially in West Africa, on‐farm performance and pedigree recordings ...

Fatores que influenciam a textura da carne de novilhos Nelore e cruzados Limousin-Nelore [PDF]
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar fatores que influenciam a textura da carne de novilhos Nelore e cruzados Limousin-Nelore. Cinqüenta novilhos, 25 Nelore e 25 Limousin-Nelore, foram aleatoriamente divididos em cinco grupos de 10 animais (cinco de cada grupo genético), para o abate seriado, até 204 dias. Os valores de temperatura e pH muscular foram

BIOPSIAS LUTEAIS EM VACAS NELORE
The present study describes a technique to obtain consecutiveluteal samples by colpotomy. The animals received an epidural anesthesia and local anesthesia (vaginal vault) and after ten minutes the vaginal vault was incised with a scalpel blade and tissue was dissected to provide access to the pelvic cavity and to retract the ovary into the vagina. Then,

Field study on nematode resistance in Nelore-breed cattle [PDF]
The present study evaluated Nelore cattle with different degrees of resistance to natural infections by gastrointestinal nematodes. One hundred weaned male cattle, 11-12 months of age, were kept on the same pasture and evaluated from October 2003 to February 2004.

A comparison of immunological, chemical and surgical castration of Nelore bulls
The objective was to compare effects of immunological, chemical and surgical castrations on testicular characteristics, scrotal surface temperatures, sperm quality, and serum testosterone concentrations in Bos indicus bulls. Eighty Nelore bulls (∼20 mo) were grazed on pasture, fed a supplement and slaughtered at ∼480 kg.

Transcriptome analyses reveal reduced hepatic lipid synthesis and accumulation in more feed efficient beef cattle [PDF]
peer-reviewedThe genetic mechanisms controlling residual feed intake (RFI) in beef cattle are still largely unknown. Here we performed whole transcriptome analyses to identify differentially expressed (DE) genes and their functional roles in liver ...
