Genetic parameters and phenotypic and genetic trends for weight at weaning and visual scores during this phase estimated for Angus-Nellore crossbred young bulls

Abstract: -Genetic parameters and genetic and phenotypic trends were estimated for weight at weaning (WW) and visual scores (VS) of conformation (C), precocity (P), musculature (M) and navel (N) for Angus × Nellore crossbred calves.It was used 39,676 records from pre-weaning phase of animals born from 1992 to 2002 in mid-western, southeastern and southern Brazil. The components of covariance were estimated using REML, in animal model, considering as random the maternal and direct additive genetic effects, and as fixed, … Show more

“…Interestingly, these authors used the restricted maximum likelihood method, and, according to Resende et al (2001), the results tend to be very similar using both approaches when initial priors are considered to add little information in the use of Bayesian inference, which was used in this study. Using Bayesian inference, Araujo et al (2010) estimated the heritability for the weaning precocity trait, which was similar (0.16 for direct effect and 0.09 for maternal effect) to those found in this study.…”

“…Araujo et al (2010) and Costa et al (2008) showed genetic correlations between precocity scores of 0.47 and 0.65 for weight and weight gain from birth to weaning, respectively, in Angus Nellore crossbred bovines. When considering the phases separately, independent of the growth trait to be selected, there will be a positive correlated response for the scores because these correlations between the direct effects do not vary much at weaning nor at yearling.…”

“…sobreano (Lopes et al, 2009;Araújo et al, 2010 A média posterior da correlação genética entre as características avaliadas e o peso à desmama foi positiva e de magnitude moderada (Tabela 3). As correlações genéticas (rg) entre P205 e as demais características analisadas foram todas positivas e com valores que variaram de moderado a alto.…”

“…As estimativas de herdabilidade de características de crescimento, em rebanhos da raça Brangus, variam de 0,20 (peso ao sobreano) a 0,43 (peso à desmama) (Everling et al, 2001;Lopes et al, 2009;Araújo et al, 2010). Entretanto, no Brasil, são poucos os trabalhos sobre estas estimativas e as de correlações genéticas (Lopes et al, 2009) entre os pesos mensurados em diversas idades, para a raça.…”
