To evaluate the effect of heat stress on sperm characteristics, as well as testicular biometrics
and heat radiation, six breeds of rams: two Brazilian locally adapted breeds (Santa Ines and …

The aim of this study was to explore spatial genetic structure patterns in cattle breeds
adapted to local conditions in Brazil. We georeferenced 876 animals of ten breeds raised in …

As gene bank collections develop, there are opportunities to collect germplasm using criteria
other than random sampling or genetic relationships. For Brazil and the US, it has become …
