The first joint field work will be carried out in October 2010 to a large scale forest management area in Itacoatiara (AM). This expedition will include researchers and students (one PhD and four MSc) of several areas such as forest management, logging, forest inventory, quality inventory of standing trees and entomology. INCT has already implement two scholarships for each partner institutions (INPA, UFAM, UnB e UFPR). Existing projects with converging objectives have been incorporated to INCT; on the other hand, there are projects submitted and approved that were deliberately designed with converging objectives.

During this period we also developed programs for mounting the inverse relationship matrix considering the information of uncertain paternity. It is expected for the next period to identify genes linked to meat production and carcass quality in pigs, using the genome data generated in the first phase. For projects of genetic evaluation of cattle, it is expected to obtain simulated data sets with small size to validate the programs for assembling the inverse matrices. The results for the inverse matrices should be identical to those obtained by programs that do not consider uncertain paternity. The networks of monogastric and ruminant production conducted several experiments in 2009 that will be used for editing the new version of the tables of nutritional requirements for zebu purebred and crossbred to be published in Portuguese and English in 2010. It is also planned the edition of an on line table of feed composition in 2010. The data obtained from current research by the monogastric network should result in publication of new nutritional requirements recommendations for monogastric animals in 2011.
