The Excegen Genética (MG) considers a new method of productivity increase in the bovine culture that will be able to represent an annual profit in the order of 150 thousand tons of meat for the Country. The basic way to change the genetic flock constitution, is being promoted by its improvement on the election of animals that will be the parents of the next generation. The genetic merit evaluation of the animals is being held by analysing the external appearance, the individual performance, or mixing models have been used to direct crossings.
These systems are capable of errors on the interpretation and probability, having consequence on the loss of efficiency of the process. The advance on the genetics became possible to pursuit beyond the appearances and searching in the DNA of the animals the necessary information. This new technology calls Election Attended Markers (SAMPlus®). The election of more productive bovines, attended for molecular markers, is an emergent technology, in Brazil and in the world. The Excegen is distinguished as pioneer in this field.
