Portuguese term or phrase: referenciais de resistência ou de suscetibilidade
Verificamos a relevância da utilização simultânea de dois tipos de tratamentos-controle (referenciais de resistência ou de suscetibilidade), e propomos a utilização adicional de referenciais latentes de resistência ou de suscetibilidade no processo seletivo.

Nevertheless, breeding programmes for mastitis resistance have been implemented throughout the world in dairy cattle [14,16] and sheep [21] using indirect predictor traits such as clinical mastitis and SCS. To assess
the effect of SCS-based selection for resistance or susceptibility to IMI, two divergent lines of dairy sheep were created on the basis of their parents’ breeding values for SCS [22]. Evaluation of the frequency and duration of mastitis in the two lines demonstrated that selection for decreased SCS is associated with a decrease of IMI [22].

disagree  Christina Paiva: benchmark (RH): any standard of excellence by which others can be measured or judged. Não é possível utilizar um padrão único em comparações biológicas, as variáveis que podem influenciar os resultados, prinicpalmente no campo, são imprevisíveis

Explanation:
Both terms are correct, it will depend on your style of writing. I usually use reference rather than benchmark and in this case I would actually translate the sentence to:

We verified the relevance of the simultaneous usage of two control treatments (resistance or susceptibility), and propose the usage of additional references of latent resistance or susceptibility in the selective process.
