Guzerá, Senepol and Caracu as sire breeds in crossbreeding systems.

There are restrictions on the use of crossbreeding in regions of tropical climate, one of them is, the use of natural mating with bulls from breed european. However, an alternative to this problem is the use of adapted taurine breeds zebu breeds in crossbred systems. For this reason, the objective was to evaluate the influence of paternal breed on the performance of crossbred cattle. Two hundred eight animals (male and female), produced from mating Caracu, Senepol and Guzerá bulls with Nellore, ½ Nellore + ½ Angus and ½ Nellore + ½ Caracu cows were used. The animals were raised in pastures of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu receiving mineral supplements during the cow-calf phase, and receiving protein and protein-energy supplementation during the growing phase
