As condições meteorológicas vêm se tornando um grande impasse na produção agrícola, os veranicos longos e chuvas irregulares em regiões do Cerrado brasileiro comprometem a produção forrageira e consequentemente a disponibilidade de alimentos para os animais. Assim, o objetivo deste foi avali...

Sindi is a dual-purpose breed known for its hardiness, heat tolerance, and high feed efficiency, serving as a genetic resource for adapting livestock production to climate change in tropical grazing systems. Milk production and quality are key factors for dairy farmers, representing hig...

Diarrhea is a major health challenge in livestock, causing economic and productivity losses during the cow–calf phase. Because it is a multifactorial condition, the evaluation of genetic, environmental, and management components is crucial for identifying more resistant animals and supporting sel...

Estimating adult body weight and growth rate through growth curve modeling in young animals is an effective genetic and nutritional strategy. Selecting precocious animals contributes to reducing the intensity of enteric methane emissions and the environmental footprint of meat and milk produ...

Energy-Corrected Milk (ECM) is a more precise indicator of feed efficiency as it standardizes milk yield by adjusting for fat and protein content. Its relevance is further emphasized by its strong association with sustainability, as higher ECM production per unit of feed consumed r...

The Sindi breed representes a strategic option for dairy production in tropical environments, due to its rusticity, adaptability, and efficiency under conditions of heat stress and feed restriction. However, genetic improvement programs targeting dairy performance remains incipient, and the lactation&...

This study investigated the effects of melatonin supplementation in the culture medium on the development, cellular dynamics and gene expression of bovine embryos produced in vitro under low (5%) or high (20%) oxygen tension. Zygotes were cultured without melatonin or with (10−9 M),...

Diarrhea represents a serious challenge in calf rearing, as it generates morbidity and mortality in young animals, and its recurrence—defined as the occurrence of diarrhea in the same animal two or more times—is frequently observed during the cow–calf phase. In this context, resistance&...

No cenário atual, é notória a ocorrência de grandes estiagens e mudanças no clima, o que interfere principalmente na produção de alimentos para os animais. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar se a aplicação de gesso agrícola e a adubação de cobertura com nitrogênio e p...
