MELHORAMENTO GENÉTICO COMO ESTRATÉGIA DE AVANÇO DA PRODUÇÃO E DA PRODUTIVIDADE DURANTE O CONFINAMENTO BOVINO

Abstract

This is a descriptive and exploratory qualitative study of the integrative literature review type, whose objective was to demonstrate the main factors involved in the beef cattle breeding process in Brazil. The search for the material took place considering the management of the techniques, the environment that involves the practice, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, which were indexed in the databases: Scielo, Medline, Lilacs, Redalyc and Google Scholar whose production modalities were: original articles in case study, experience report, theoretical study, research report. Initially, 1352 articles were raised, of which, after reading the titles, 402 articles were excluded, resulting in 950 articles, of which the abstracts were read, 721 articles were excluded, resulting in 229 articles that, after reading in full, 214 articles were excluded, thus resulting in a sample of 15 articles. It was found that bovine genetic improvement programs are responsible for evaluating and determining the characteristics of animals to improve the economic gains of beef cattle. Through these programs, strategies are implemented in order to obtain the best possible genetic characteristics within a given condition.
