Forage Responses and Beef Cattle Performance in Silvopasture Systems: A Meta‐Analysis of Tropical and Subtropical Regions of Brazil

open access: yesGrass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Silvopasture systems integrate tree, forage, and livestock components, offering a sustainable intensification strategy that combines environmental and productive benefits, although shading may impose constraints on forage accumulation. This study aimed to evaluate forage accumulation, nutritive value, and beef cattle performance in pastoral ...

Genetic Parameters of Methane Emission, Feed Efficiency, Feeding Behaviour, and Growth Traits in Beef Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 4, Page 496-507, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change has intensified the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation. Genetic selection has emerged as a promising mitigation strategy; however, studies on Bos taurus indicus, especially Nellore cattle, remain limited.

BREED AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON BIRTH WEIGHT, WEANING WEIGHT AND CALVING INTERVAL OF ZEBU CATTLE IN SOUTHEASTERN MEXICO

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2017
Records of beef cows from a ranch in southern Mexico gave 1967 birth weights (BW), 1587 weaning weights adjusted to 210 days of age (AWW) and 2001 calving intervals (CI) for the comparison of the breed groups: Brahman (BR), Guzerat (GU), Nellore (NE) and

Effect of polymorphisms in the Slc11a1 coding region on resistance to brucellosis by macrophages in vitro and after challenge in two Bos breeds (Blanco Orejinegro and Zebu)

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2010
The resistance/susceptibility of selected cattle breeds to brucellosis was evaluated in an F1 population generated by crossing animals classified as resistant (R) and susceptible (S) (R x R, R x S, S x R, S x S) based on challenges in vitro and in vivo ...

ASIP Variants in Livestock: It's Not Black and White

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fur and feather pigmentation play an important role in the survival and reproduction of many species, as well as in selective breeding and agriculture. The synthesis of pigment molecules, eumelanin and pheomelanin, is partially regulated by the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) encoded by the ASIP gene.

Effects of Shade and Concentrate Supplementation on Heat Tolerance, Metabolic, and Hematological Responses of Holstein Cows in a Semi‐Arid Environment

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study evaluated heat tolerance and biochemical and haematological responses of Holstein cows exposed to different environmental conditions (full sun or shade) and feeding regimens (with or without concentrate) in the semi‐arid region of Brazil. Sixteen adult cows were distributed across four treatments.

Uso de LH como indutor de ovulação em protocolo de IATF para Novilhas da raça Nelore

open access: yesColloquium Agrariae, 2011
Na produção de bovinos de corte, a eficiência da fase de cria é um dos fatores determinantes da viabilidade bioeconômica do sistema de produção. Apesar das raças zebuínas serem menos precoces que as raças européias, um manejo nutricional adequado ...
