Avanzando en la integración de los componentes del sistema arroz-ganadería, productores arroceros y ganaderos, técnicos de instituciones y empresas participaron en una nueva jornada de campo, esta vez con foco en la fase ganadera del sistema.

ABSTRACT.- Genotype by environment interaction (GEI) is one of the main challenges in plant breeding. A complete characterization of it is necessary to decide on proper breeding strategies. Random regression models (RRMs) allow a genotype-specific response to each regressor factor. RRMs that include selected environmental variables represent a promising approach to deal with GEI in genomic prediction. They enable to predict for both tested and untested environments, but their utility in a plant breeding scenario remains to be shown.

ABSTRACT.- Previous studies on winter supplementation of growing cattle grazing stockpiled native Campos grasslands suggest that forage allowance (FA), herbage mass, and weather conditions before and during the supplementation period could all affect supplement feed efficiency (SFE)-that is, the difference or change in average daily gain (ADG) between supplemented (S) and control (C) animals (ADGchng, kg) per unit (kg) of supplement dry matter (DM) intake. In this study, we analyse data from fifteen collated winter supplementation trials carried out in Uruguay between 2004 and 2018.
