Genomic Study of Babesia bovis Infection Level and Its Association With Tick Count in Hereford and Braford Cattle
(Frontiers in Immunology, 2020) [Artigo]Bovine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by intraerythrocytic protozoa and leads to substantial economic losses for the livestock industry throughout the world. Babesia bovis is considered the most pathogenic ... -
Spliced genes in muscle from Nelore Cattle and their association with carcass and meat quality
(Scientific Reports, 2020) [Artigo]Transcript data obtained by RNA-Seq were used to identify differentially expressed alternatively spliced genes in ribeye muscle tissue between Nelore cattle that differed in their ribeye area (REA) or intramuscular fat ... -
Intensification: A key strategy to achieve great animal and environmental beef cattle production sustainability in Brachiaria grasslands
(Sustainability (Switzerland), 2020) [Resenha]Intensification of tropical grassland can be a strategy to increase beef production, but methods for achieving this should maintain or reduce its environmental impact and should not compromise future food-producing capacity. ... -
Speciation, evolutionary history and conservation trends of neotropical deer
(Mastozoologia Neotropical, 2020) [Artigo]Neotropical deer species have broad geographic ranges in vulnerable Latin American ecosystems. Habitat destruction and overhunting have limited deer species to a portion of their historical ranges. Our aims are to provide ... -
Designation of a neotype for mazama americana (Artiodactyla, cervidae) reveals a cryptic new complex of brocket deer species
(ZooKeys, 2020) [Artigo]Mazama americana (red brocket deer) is the genus-type species (first species described for this genus) and the basis for the identity of other Mazama species. Mazama americana is one of the most abundant and widely distributed ... -
Analysis of the population structure of buffaloes in Brazil
(Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2020) [Artigo]The aim of this study was to evaluate the population structure of Brazilian buffaloes using of pedigree information. The pedigree used in the analyses included records of 16,915 animals. The population parameters were ... -
Genome-wide prediction for complex traits under the presence of dominance effects in simulated populations using GBLUP and machine learning methods
(Journal of animal science, 2020) [Artigo]The aim of this study was to compare the predictive performance of the Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (GBLUP) and machine learning methods (Random Forest, RF; Support Vector Machine, SVM; Artificial Neural Network, ... -
Rate of feed passage in Japanese quail
(Animal, 2020) [Artigo]The rate of passage (ROP) in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) influences the exposure time of food to the digestion and absorption processes. Consequently, ROP affects the efficiency of nutrient utilization and energy from ... -
Whole-genome sequencing provides new insights into genetic mechanisms of tropical adaptation in Nellore (Bos primigenius indicus)
(Scientific Reports, 2020) [Artigo]Most of the knowledge about genetic variants at the sequence level in cattle is for Bos primigenius taurus populations. Here, we presented a complete genomic characterization of 52 Nellore (Bos primigenius indicus) bulls, ... -
Economic evaluation from beef cattle production industry with intensification in Brazil’s tropical pastures
(Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2020) [Artigo]This study aimed to evaluate different scenarios (year, supplementation level) about economic results of beef cattle production during rearing and finishing phase in Brazilian’s tropical pastures. Four scenarios were ... -
Molecular ecology of the southern gray brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira fischer, 1814)
(Conservation Genetics in Mammals: Integrative Research Using Novel Approaches, 2020) [Capítulo de livro]The gray brocket deer (Mazama gouazoubira Fisher 1814) hasawide distribution range throughout South America, inhabiting dense and continuous forests and open savannahs such as the Brazilian Cerrado, from the south of the ... -
Selection of nonlinear mixed models for growth curves of dairy buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis)
(Journal of Agricultural Science, 2020) [Artigo]The determination of livestock growth patterns is important for meat or milk production systems, and nonlinear models are used to summarize and interpret the information. The aim of this study was to more accurately estimate ... -
Use of gene expression profile to identify potentially relevant transcripts to myofibrillar fragmentation index trait
(Functional and Integrative Genomics, 2020) [Artigo]The myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI) is an indicative trait for meat tenderness. Longissimus thoracis muscle samples from the 20 most extreme bulls (out of 80 bulls set) for MFI (high (n = 10) and low (n = 10) groups) ... -
Genome-wide scan highlights the role of candidate genes on phenotypic plasticity for age at first calving in Nellore heifers
(Scientific Reports, 2020) [Artigo]Age at first calving (AFC) plays an important role in the economic efficiency of beef cattle production. This trait can be affected by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, leading to physiological changes ... -
Molecular identification of Mazama species (Cervidae: Artiodactyla) from natural history collections
(Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020) [Artigo]Natural history museum collections constitute an invaluable patrimony of biological diversity for analysing the taxa distribution and evolution. However, it is very common to discover taxonomic misidentification in museum ... -
Body growth description of male and female from three broilers strains in the hot climate
(Semina:Ciencias Agrarias, 2020) [Artigo]To evaluate the growth of males and females from three broiler strains (Cobb 500, Ross 308, and Hubbard Flex) we used a completely randomized experimental design with a factorial arrangement (3 strains and 2 sexes) and six ... -
Macromineral requirements for maintenance in male and female Saanen goats: A meta-analytical approach
