Simple Summary Tropical pasture-based beef production systems play a vital role in global
food security. The importance of promoting sustainable intensification of such systems has …

Bos indicus cattle acquired very particular traits to thrive in distinct environments based on
the evolutionary adaptation process they have undergone, becoming particularly relevant for …

The objective of this study was to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to
detect chromosome regions associated with indicator traits of sexual precocity in Nellore …

Background An important goal of Zebu breeding programs is to improve reproductive
performance. A major problem faced with the genetic improvement of reproductive traits is …

CONTEXT Models are important tools to assess the impacts of tick infestation on the
economic performance of different beef cattle production systems. The information from …

In beef cattle, growth, reproductive, and carcass traits have been studied for improving
productivity and quality of meat products. The aim of this study was to estimate genetic …
