In the present work, 180 Nellore females from eight herds were analyzed for TEXAN15, BM1224 and CSFM50 microsatellites and for the restriction fragments polymorphism (RFLP) at the locos k-casein, b-lactoglobulin and growth hormone (GH). Excepted for GH, all markers were polymorphic in the studied sample. The values of heterozigozity, gene diversity, polymorphic information content (PIC) and paternity exclusion probability (PE) were estimated. The highest PIC (0.685) and PE (0.521) values were obtained for microsatellite BM1224.
