Abstract

espanolEl objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar un estudio preliminar del cariotipo de bovinos de razas brasilenas: Curraleiro, Crioulo Lageano y Junqueira disponibles en la granja Parque perteneciente a Embrapa Recursos Geneticos y Biotecnologia, Brasilia, DF y de los Pantaneiros ubicados en el norte del Pantanal, pertenecientes a la finca Promissao, Pocone, MT. Fueron analizados los cariotipos de 29 machos a traves de su tipo morfologico de cromosoma Y, submetacentrico o acrocentrico, tipos estos considerados como marcadores para las subespecies taurinas y cebuinas, respectivamente. El resultado mostro que, dentro de los seis sementales Curraleiros evaluados, cuatro presentaron Y de cebu (acrocentrico) y dos de taurino (submetacentrico), sugiriendo contaminacion racial por Cebu. Sin embargo, todos los Pantaneiros analizados presentaron exclusivamente cromosoma Y de Cebu (acrocen-trico), mientras que los bovinos Crioulo Lageano y Junqueira presentaron solo Y submetacentrico, confirmando su origen taurino. EnglishThe present work is a preliminary cytogenetic study carried out on 29 males of the Brazilian breeds Curraleiro, Crioulo Lageano, Junqueira and Pantaneiro, available at Embrapa Genetic Resources & Biotechnology, Brasilia, DF and Promissao farm, Pocone, MT. The objective was to investigate their Y chromosome morphology, whether submetacentric or acrocentric, consi-dered as markers of the taurine and zebuine subspecies, respectively. The results showed that of the six Curraleiro animals analyzed, four had an acrocentric and two had a submetacentric Y chromosome, indicating contamination by zebu breeds. All Pantaneiro bulls analyzed had exclusively zebuine (acrocentric) Y chromosome. On the other hand, the Crioulo Lageano and Junqueira bulls had submetacentric Y chromo-somes, indicating their taurine origin.
