Animal genetic resources in Brazil: result of five centuries of natural selection.

Theriogenology - 1 Jan 2002

Mariante A da S, Egito A A

Abstract excerpt

Brazil has various species of domestic animals, which developed from breeds brought by the Portuguese settlers soon after their discovery. For five centuries, these breeds have been subjected to natural selection in specific environments. Today, they present characteristics adapted to the specific Brazilian environmental conditions. These breeds developed in Brazil are known as "Crioulo," "local," or naturalized....
