A survey of Nellore breed based on nine molecular markers.

The Brazilian Nellore is a Bos indicus brees developed from animals imported from india up to the middle of this centry. Due to its high tolerance ti the tropical environment, the Nellore became the most popular beef cattle brees in Brazil. Besidies its importance as pure breed, it has been successfully used in commeercial crosses and in the composition of new breeds. Genetic variability providies the scenario for selection in animal breeding programs. Monitoring this variabilty through molecular marker analysis can be useful to prevent genetic erosion. The objective of this study was to charactize Nellore animals based on restriction fragment lenth polymorphisms (RFLP) and microsatellites.
