In this paper, we complete the global qualitative analysis of a quartic family of planar vector fields corresponding to a rational Holling-type dynamical system which models the dynamics of the populations of predators and their prey in a given ecological or biomedical system. In particular, studying global bifurcations, we prove that such a system can have at most two limit cycles surrounding one singular point.
