The objective of this study was to characterize the population genetic structure of the Gir breed in the Northeast of Brazil. The data used in this study were taken from pedigree information of 8,897 Gir animals between 1957 and 2007, obtained from the Brazilian Zebu Breeders Association (ABCZ). The program ENDOG was used to estimate the parameters based on the probability gene origin. From the amount of the studied animals, 67.22%, 18.41% and 3.15% had complete pedigree only on the […]

The aim of this study was to describe the population structure of the registered Polled Gir cattle in Brazil. Descriptive statistics of the distribution of the number of progeny, the generation interval and the effective population size were estimated using pedigree records of animals registered from 1976 to 1998. The observed generation interval in each of four periods (1979-1983, 1984-1988, 1989-1993 and 1994-1998) was, respectively, 4.5, 6.05, 7.17 and 9.14 yr. The effective population size for the periods were, respectively, […]

The aim of this study was to describe the population structure of the registered Red Sindhi cattle in Brazil. Descriptive statistics of the distribution of the number of progeny are presented, and the generation interval and effective population size were estimated, using pedigree records of animals registered from 1955 to 1998. The observed generation interval for the whole time period was 7.65 yr, and for the period 1994-1998 it was 7.96 yr. The effective population size for the following periods […]
