It was grazed in weekly strips, with allocation of 8 kg of dry matter of grass/100 kg of live weight. Between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., the animals with day confinement were moved from the grass to a near pen, provided with water and artificial shade. The supplementation with more soluble dry distillery grains improved productive performance, regardless of grazing management. Supplementation increased dry matter intake and increased live weight gain 2.9 times, with a weight gain response of 0.928 kg/d and supplement conversion efficiency of 3.1:1 (supplement intake, kg/response in LW gain, kg). The day confinement improved the thermal welfare of animals and did not affect the intake of dry matter or grazing activity.

Hair samples of 60 individuals from six Mozambique provinces (Manica, Tete, Sofala, Nampula, Gaza e Inhambane) were taken, which groups the highest number of animals from the breed. The ADN of the capillary bulb was extracted and amplified by PCR in the laboratorio de Biología Molecular del Animal Breeding Consulting, S.L, de la Universidad de Córdoba, España. Electophoresis in poliacrilamide gel was carried out to separate the obtaining fragments in an Automatic Sequencer ABI Prism® 377 XL (Applied Biosystems).The fragments analysis and genotyped was performed by the informatics programs Genescan and Genotyper 3.7 NT. It was determined: allele total per marker, expected and observed heterozygosities and Polymorphic Information Content. All the microsatellites were polymorphic, a total of 214 alleles with 6.4 as average per marker were found. From the analyzed panel a total of 29 were informative, 11 highly informative and 3 exceptionally informative for the breed. As main find, the heterozygosities reached values higher than 60 %. It is concluded that the microsatellites battery was adequate to study the breed, four of them can be excluded in future studies and the "Landim" goat is a breed with adequate genetic diversity.

The frequencies per typologies for qualitative variables were obtained. The rabbit production systems were typified into five groups: I) small farmers with land, younger, apply more mating (14.3 %) pardos. II) small farmers with land and older (42.9 %), III) small farmers without land, late weaning (12.5%), IV) medium farmers with land and semiintensive reproductive management with low efficiency (28.6%) and V) technical system, with semi-intensive reproductive management with low efficiency (2.0%). In the farmers, the Cuban Brown race, Chinchilla and different crosses predominate. The feeding system in general was based on forage resources, supplementation and little use of protein plants, except Tithonia diversifolia in groups I, III and V. Regardless of the productive scales, technological alternatives that guarantee greater productive and reproductive efficiency are not applied in the feeding system. This study shows that these typologies should be considered to implement an agricultural extension system that contributes to the training of farmers and the management and application of sustainable technological alternatives with the use of endogenous resources.Key words: multivariate analysis, livestock systems, Oryctolaguscuniculus.}, }

The cost sheet of buffalo activity of the enterprise was made, with regard to performance testing. Individual benefit or individual economic merit was determined using two sales prices: 11.20 and 6.40 Cuban pesos/kg of final live weight.

Multiple regressions were obtained between benefits and individual breeding values, as well as with the selection index, from the consideration of the two prices. The linearity that exists between the benefits and the breeding values that justify the selection of animals with greater merit was showed, as well as the usefulness of the evaluation by index. Higher values were associated with higher benefits, particularly when the higher price per kilogram of live weight was used.
