R. B. aStudy of age and weight at first breeding of pantaneira, nelore and 1/2 pantaneira x nelore heifers in the Brazilian Pantanal. c2000 a(P-82). aThe Pantanal is considered to be one of the largest Brazilian regions (114 million km2) of beef-cattle cow-calf production, where the activity is extensively developed on native pastures with a stocking rate of 0.27 AU/ha. The beef cattle exploitation is of fundamental importance to the development and conservation of the Pantanal ecosystem, since it represents the main income of the local producers, who practice, in their great majority, ecological meat production. This practice utilizers in a rational manner the natural resources of the region to produce meat free of chemical additives, known as green meat, produced exclusively on natural pastures. The objetive of this study was to estimate the age and weight at first breeding of yearling heifers of the breeds Pantaneira (P), Nelore (N) and 1/2 Pantaneira x Nelore (PxN). aanimal genetic resources aanimal reproduction abreeding season aPantanal aCriação aRecurso Genético aReprodução Animal aBovine1 aPELLEGRIN, A.
