Database will integrate information on the current use of animal breeding biotechniques in Brazil and perspectives for the future
Brazil is now a world reference in the area of animal breeding biotechnology, accounting for 25 to 30% of the total number of embryos transferred worldwide. Reproductive biotechnology is a key element in genetic breeding programs, but it is necessary to invest in the creation of a solid and well-built database that supports decision-making for national livestock.
This project, which is part of the Innovation Network in Animal Reproduction, aims to evaluate the importance of different embryo technologies for animal production in Brazil, considering the magnitude of use, geographical distribution, recent evolution and future trends .
The project intends to evaluate the recent evolution in the use of embryo technologies in cattle, horses and small ruminants in Brazil, considering quantitative and relative efficiency indicators to generate a database capable of characterizing the impact of different technological advances in the scenario of the use of reproductive biotechnologies in Brazil in different species and regions, as well as prospecting future scenarios for reproductive biotechnology in Brazil and in the world. For this, the data related to the use of different reproductive biotechniques will be integrated with other technical and economic indicators of livestock.
The project comprises three major actions: to evaluate the evolution in the use of embryo technologies in Brazil by means of statistical data surveys on the bovine, equine and small ruminant species, based on the analysis of data of genealogical records in each species provided by the breed associations; prospect additional information on PIVE and post-transfer efficiency indicators; and characterize the current scenario in the use of reproductive biotechniques in Brazil, considering the quantitative evolution, geographical distribution characterization of the technical progress associated with the evolution of the activity and the identification of points of convergence and common variables related to the use of different reproductive biotechniques.
