Abstract Background Decisions to initiate conservation programmes need to account for extant variability, diversity loss and cultural and economic aspects. Molecular markers were used to investigate if putative Algarvia animals could be identified for use as progenitors in a breeding programme to recover this nearly extinct breed. Methods 46 individuals phenotypically representative of Algarvia cattle were geno...

Doutoramento em Engenharia Zootécnica - Instituto Superior de Agronomia ; The genetic diversity, structure and origins of Iberian and creole cattle from the Americas were investigated with mitochondrial, y chromosome and breed structuring, although influence of imported breeds was also detected. Influence of African cattle in Iberia was inferred from the presence of T1a matrilines and INRA189-104 Y-allele. Ibe...
