A COR DA PELAGEM DO CAVALO IMPORTA? #cortes #agro

This is an excerpt from our episode with Fellipe Araújo, CEO of Equus Genétics, a Brazilian company specializing in equine genetics. In this excerpt, he explains the need for breeders to combine beauty and performance in a single animal. Through genomics, this is possible: based on the DNA of the stallion and mare, it is possible to identify which color genes each carries and, thus, predict which colors of foals may be born from the cross. This is because the color of a horse's coat depends not only on what we see in the animal, but also on genes that may be "hidden" and passed on to the offspring. With genomic testing, breeders don't just have to wait and see: they can calculate the chances of foals being born with certain colors. In other words, genomics provides confidence and precision in choosing breeding partners, helping to better plan the future of the herd. DOES A HORSE'S COAT COLOR MATTER? #cuts #agriculture
