Abstract

The state of Mato Grosso do Sul has a genetic origin of animals native Sulmatogrossense that has been highly adapted and highly productive and reproductive potential, these animals exhibit a combination of alleles that are close to the south and tossed races wooless Northeast , thus paving the way for the possibility of creating a new race. The sheep of this group do not exhibit reproductive seasonality may produce up to 1.5 lambs per year. They also have high yield potential and can earn up 350g/day, thereby providing early animals slaughtered within 6 months of age weighing 40 kg and may have a carcass yield of 50%. Herd animals with wool, the wool can be considered a byproduct of great importance. So keep the characteristics of these animals is of paramount importance, both to collaborate with the regional sheep production, as if to offer an additional option to breed to be created and used in sheep production systems.
