Os ovinos desse grupamento não apresentam estacionalidade reprodutiva podendo produzir até 1,5 cordeiros/ano. Possuem ainda o alto potencial produti- vo, podendo ganhar até 350g/dia, proporcionando dessa forma animais precoces, abatidos com até 6 meses de idade com peso de 40Kg, podendo apresentar um rendimento de carcaça de 50%. Por serem animais lanados, a lã pode ser considerada um subproduto de grande importância. Assim, conservar as características desses animais é de suma importância, tanto para colaborar com a produção ovina regional, como para se oferecer uma opção a mais de raça a ser criada e utiliza- da em sistemas de produção de ovinos. 1 Programa de Pós-Graduação em Zootecnia – Universidade Federal da Grande Doura- dos. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Autônomo, Médico-Veterinário 3 Centro de Tecnologia em Ovinocultura (CTO) Universidade Anhaguera-Uniderp 4 Programa de Pós-Graduação em Zootecnia – Universidade Estadual de Maringá Abstract The state of Mato Grosso do Sul has a genetic origin of animals native Sul-Mato-Grossense that has been highly adapted and highly producti- ve and reproductive potential, these animals exhibit a combination of alleles that are close to the south and tossed races wooless Northeast , thus paving the way for the possibility of creating a new race. The sheep of this group do not exhibit reproductive seasonality may pro- duce up to 1.5 lambs per year. They also have high yield potential and can earn up 350g/day, thereby providing early animals slaughtered within 6 months of age weighing 40 kg and may have a carcass yield of 50%. Herd animals with wool, the wool can be considered a bypro- duct of great importance. So keep the characteristics of these animals is of paramount importance, both to collaborate with the regional sheep production, as if to offer an additional option to breed to be created and used in sheep production systems. Introdução Os ovinos foram introduzidos no Brasil por colonizadores europeus a partir do descobrimento. As raças inseridas no país foram primeira- mente submetidas à seleção natural adaptando-se assim a ambientes diferenciados e condições edafoclimaticas adversas, sendo hoje conhe- cidas como animais crioulos, nativos, naturalizados ou locais (MORAIS, 2001). O Mato Grosso do Sul possui privilegiada localização geográfica, con- dições climáticas favoráveis e perfil para produção de ovinos (PINTO et al., 2009). Na região, as criações de ovinos tem como objetivo principal a produção de carne, sendo que esta atividade é desenvolvida, geral- mente, paralela à produção agropecuária, onde os outros produtos da ovinocultura como pele, lã e leite não são explorados comercialmente. A falta de tradição na criação intensiva de ovinos no Estado leva à busca de animais e técnicas de produção em outras regiões do país. Verifica-se, portanto, a necessidade da utilização de animais adaptados Innovation and sustainability of agro-livestock production, management and conservation of resources and biodiversity in rapidly changing contexts 9 às condições regionais de Mato Grosso do Sul, sendo necessário ainda validar e/ou ajustar os manejos às condições ambientais e regionais.

It has been observed that milk from different cattle breeds with the same casein composite genotype shows different chemical and coagulation properties. The aim of this work was to characterize CSN1S1, CSN2 and CSN3 gene variants in Agerolese cattle, an Italian autochthonous breed, milk of which is used to produce “Provolone del Monaco”, a PDO cheese with a relevant economic interest for the Lattari Mountains area and the Sorrento Peninsula (Naples, Italy).

This fund provided the Taurus foundation with a grant of EUR 20.000 to conduct genetic research on aurochs and its relation with nowadays so- called ‘primitive’ breeds. This is the summary of that report.

An important genetic pool of local breeds might play a crucial role in the near future to address these challenges. Although Italy is considered as one of the richest countries in biodiversity, there are autochthonous cattle breeds under extinction. To safeguard biodiversity and increase genetic diversity within breeds, appropriate management tools must be developed. To achieve this, precise knowledge of the population structure and genetic diversity per breed are required.
