 Providing genetics for the dairy industry in the tropics - the Brazilian Dairy Gir Breeding Program. Author(s): PANETTO, J. C. do C.; SILVA, M. V. G. B.; MACHADO, M. A.; VERNEQUE, R. da S.; FERNANDES, A. R.; MACHADO, C. H. C.; MARTINS, M. F.; REIS, D. R. de L.; BORGES, C. A. V.; VENTURA, H. T.; PEREIRA, M. A.; OLIVEIRA, J. C.; GLATZL JUNIOR, L. A.; GARCIA, A. O.; LEANDRO, F. D. Milk production is usually challenging under tropical environments. Heat stress and/or recurrent parasite infestations frequently cause cattle?s reduced fitness and productivity. As a way to overcome... ... |

 Author(s): REWE, T. O.; PEIXOTO, M. G. C. D.; CARDOSO, V. L.; VERCESI FILHO, A. E.; EL FARO, L.; STRANDBERG, E. The aim of this review paper is to evaluate opportunities for selecting the most profitable cow for smallholder dairy production in hot and humid tropics. The inherent climatic characteristics of the... ... |
 Author(s): FERNANDES, L. O.; PASCHOAL, J. J.; MACIEL, G. A.; BRAGA, G. J.; REIS, N. J. C.; PAIVA, M. I. de The objective of the study was to evaluate the feed efficiency of Gir heifers in the feedlot through the residual feed intake (RFI) evaluation. The experiment was carried out on the campus of Faculdad... ... |
 Author(s): SILVA, A. A.; AZEVEDO, A. L. S.; GASPARINI, K.; VERNEQUE, R. da S.; PEIXOTO, M. G. C. D.; PANETTO, B. R.; GUIMARÃES, S. E. F.; MACHADO, M. A. Fourteen Brazilian Gir sire families with 657 daughters were analyzed for quantitative trait loci (QTL) on chromosome 6 affecting lactose and total solids. Cows and sires were genotyped with 27 micros... ... |
