Effect of tannins from tropical plants on methane production from ruminants: A systematic review

Veterinary and Animal Science, 2021
Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas generated during the feed fermentation processes in the rumen. However, numerous studies have been conducted to determine the capacity of plant secondary metabolites to enhance ruminal fermentation and decrease CH4 ...

Chain Reactions: How Businesses Plan to Respond to the EU Deforestation Regulation in Brazil, the Congo Basin, and Europe

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2023 European Union Regulation on Deforestation‐free Products (EUDR) is a transnational regulation aimed at addressing forest loss along the value chains of forest‐risk commodities. Grounding our analysis in new institutional theory with distinct behavioral drivers explaining actor behavior, and using qualitative methods, we draw on the ...

Performance of Nellore steers grazing on Panicum maximum Jacq cv. Mombaça receiving chopped sugar cane tops and protein supplementation - doi: 10.4025/actascianimsci.v32i4.8142

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2010
The aim of this study was to evaluate protein supplementation on the performance of steers grazing on Mombaça grass and receiving chopped sugar cane tops at a level of 0.80% of live weight (dry matter (DM) basis), during the dry season.

Evaluation of Multi‐Breed Genomic Prediction Models for Carcass and Reproductive Traits in Zebu Beef Cattle

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Genomic prediction in beef cattle is particularly challenging in breeds with limited phenotypic and genotypic data. In this context, multi‐breed methodologies that integrate information from genetically related populations have emerged as a promising strategy to improve prediction accuracy and calibration under data‐scarce conditions.

Effects of supplementation strategies for beef cattle in tropical grassland conditions

Research, Society and Development, 2020
This study was realized to evaluate the dry matter intake, nutrient digestibilities, and animal performance of crossbred steers grazing Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu, during the rainy season. Thirty-three crossbred steers with an average weight of 203.5 ± 39.5 kg were distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments and eleven ...

Grass species and climatic season impact on Rhipicephalus microplus temporal abundance in a tropical region

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8950-8962, September 2026.
The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...

Genetic Relationships Between Residual Gain and Economically Important Traits in Nellore Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 658-666, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sustainable beef production requires identifying animals with superior feed efficiency to reduce environmental impact and production costs. This study aimed to estimate heritability and genetic correlations between residual gain (RG) and growth, reproductive, carcass and feed efficiency traits in Nellore cattle.

Genome-wide association study using haplotype alleles for the evaluation of reproductive traits in Nelore cattle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Zebu cattle (Bos taurus indicus) are highly adapted to tropical regions. However, females reach puberty after taurine heifers, which affects the economic efficiency of beef cattle breeding in the tropical regions. The aims of this study were to establish
