Description:	The beef industry is a major employment industry in Brazil and the country is currently the world’s third largest exporter of beef. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, thousands of zebus were imported from India, establishing the meat breed Nelore (or Nellore). This study uses cluster analysis methods, implemented by the “admixture” software, to analyze the proportion of indicine and taurine genetic material in the current Nelore population. angus, Fleckvieh, Hereford, Holstein Friesian, Limousin and Piedmontese cattle breeds are used as taurine references. ancestral Nelore and Gir animals and the Brahman cattle breed serve as the indicine references.
