The breed of cattle, called “Senepol,” makes Brazil the country with the largest herd in the world and, according to Itamar Netto, president of the Brazilian Association of Cattle breeders, the breed is suitable for breeding in Mozambique. “The crossings of Senepol, no matter which breed it is, have no contraindications, and may, together with the breeds existing in Mozambique, result in better reproduction,” stated Itamar Netto. One of the great challenges in raising cattle, which in the country is made mostly by family producers, is the lack of conditions to confine the animals in a single place. For the president of the Brazilian Association of Cattle Breeders, the Senepol breed is suitable in any pasture region. “The Senepol breed survives in any weather situation and is capable of adapting in reliefs or high or low. Therefore, I guarantee that this breed it is not hostage to confinement.” Itamar Netto also points out the early reproduction of the Senepol breed as one of the advantages for the multiplication of this species. At 16 months, this type of cattle already shows signs of reproduction. “After 16 months, the Senepol breed, when placed on pasture, in a short period of time, begins to show signs of reproduction.” Senepol has been present in Brazil for over 20 years and is believed to have resulted from the joining of two races, one African, specifically from Senegal, and the other European, specifically from England. to the theme “Diversification of breeds in cattle”.
