“…. It is noteworthy that birth rates cited in the technical literature usually are below 84% 8,9,10,11,12,13,14 . From the first hypothesis, inputs of animals without GTA's, it can be inferred that the investigated property was being used to launder money through the scheme called by ENCCLA as extraordinary reproduction.…”

Abstract. The livestock sector has been identified as vulnerable to money laundering, according to the National Strategy against Corruption and Money Laundering -ENCCLA.Besides its importance for livestock management, the technic of herd evolution, as used in the present study, may be helpful in solving doubts about the compatibility between the growth or decline of a particular herd and the reproduction and movement of their animals. In this work, proceeded to the evolution of a cattle herd investigated through three scenarios for the period 2000 to 2007. Therefore, Animal Transit Guides (GTA's) and Statements of Vaccination against Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) related to property investigated were used. These documents had, respectively, the record of the moved and vaccinated animals by sex and age group during the analyzed period. The results showed the occurrence of fraud in these livestock records. Therefore, the technic of herd evolution constitutes an important forensic tool, very helpful in combating money laundering through cattle ranching.

-Weight-age and hip height-age relations of Nellore calves, from birth to 10 months old were fitted using a logistic model including sex and year of birth as fixed effects. Calves and their dams were reared on natural pasture using continuous grazing system. The crude protein content and total digestible nutrients were analyzed for pasture selected by the animals. The weights of the calves were adjusted to 205 days and 365 days. There were no significant effects of sex and birth year on the growth curve parameters, but there were significant effects of sex on hip height. The average weight (a parameter) at 10 months of age was 170 kg and the inflection point was observed at 93.5 days old. When weight-age and hip height-age curves were combined in the same graph, the intersection occurred at 142 days. The number of days to gain 160 kg from birth to 205 days of age (adjusted) and number of days to gain 240 kg from 205 days to slaughter was different between the birth years, which were probably due to the quality of the natural pastures. It is necessary to implement nutritional management strategies such as high quality pasture and/or feeding supplementation for calves once they reach three months of age.
