Conteúdo: Most of the domestic animals were introduced from the Iberian Peninsula to the Americas
during the first 50 years of colonization, by Spanish and Portugal settlers. In Brazil, a
number of species that were introduced including the Zebu cattle from Asia adapted well
and developed into "local" breeds. Imported Zebu cattle were more productive resulting
in an increase in the production of milk and beef, eventually replacing most of the local
cattle. The caracu, pantaneiro, Curraleiro and Criollo Lageano cattle, indigenous to Brazil
are some of these "local" breeds under threat of extinction. The Brazilian National
Program for Genetic Resources created by EMBRAPA (Brazilian Agricultural Research
Corporation) initiated in-situ and ex-situ programs to conserve cattle, buffaloes, pigs,
sheep, goats, horses and asses. These programs have been described in detail.
