Luiz F. Brito

Luiz F. Brito's research focuses on the genetics and genomics of livestock species such as dairy and beef cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry, with particular attention to traits like feed efficiency, reproduction, growth, and resilience to heat stress. Much of the work uses genome-wide association studies, genomic selection, and multi-omics approaches to identify genes and genetic markers linked to production and welfare traits, aiming to improve breeding programs. The work often incorporates environmental data (e.g., climate, precision farming sensors) to understand how animals perform differently across production settings.

Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from around 25 papers per year in 2017 to a peak of roughly 61 in 2023, with recent years (2024-2025) leveling off at around 50 papers annually.
