Componentes de (co)variância e parâmetros genéticos para caracteres produtivos à desmama de bezerros Angus criados no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Co)variance components and genetic parameters for weaning production traits of Angus calves raised in the State of Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

Foram estimados componentes de (co)variância e parâmetros genéticos para peso ao nascer (PN), ganho do nascimento à desmama (G205) e escores de conformação (CD), precocidade de terminação (GD), musculatura (MD) e tamanho (TD) à desmama, utilizando-se registros de desmama de 40.915 bezerros Angus, criados no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, sul do Brasil. Desses, 12.706 tinham pesagem ao nascer e 11.863, avaliação completa para escores visuais (EV). Os dados foram analisados por meio de um modelo animal, em análises uni e multivariadas, e os componentes de variância estimados pela máxima verossimilhança restrita. As herdabilidades aditivas diretas estimadas foram 0,29; 0,25; 0,18; 0,19; 0,19; e 0,21, respectivamente, para PN, G205, CD, GD, MD e TD. A herdabilidade materna para G205 foi 0,16 e a correlação entre efeito genético direto e materno, -0,51. Essa correlação negativa indica antagonismo entre esses efeitos e provocou decréscimo na herdabilidade total para G205, que foi 0,18. A contribuição do ambiente permanente da vaca para a variância fenotípica esteve entre um mínimo de 0,05 para PN e máximo de 0,12 para G205. A correlação genética entre PN e G205 foi --0,06, mostrando que estes caracteres são independentes geneticamente. As correlações genéticas encontradas entre G205 e EV foram entre 0,71 e 0,86 e de EV entre si, 0,58 a 0,91. Essas associações positivas entre os escores visuais e destes com o crescimento na fase pré-desmama favorecem a seleção conjunta destes caracteres, por meio de índices de seleção.(Co) variance components and genetic parameters for birth weight (BW), adjusted weaning gain (AWG) and for conformation (WC), precocity (WP), muscling (WM) and size (WS) scores at weaning were estimated, from records of 40,915 Angus calves, raised in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. From that data, 12,706 had birth weight records and 11,863 had complete records for visual scores (VS). The data were analyzed using an animal model, in uni and multivariate analyses, and the variance components estimated by restrict maximum likelihood. The direct additive heritabilities estimated were 0.29, 0.25, 0.18, 0.19, 0.19 and 0.21, respectively for BW, AWG, WC, WP, WM and WS. Maternal heritability for AWG was 0.16 and genetic correlation between direct and maternal effects was --0.51. This high negative correlation indicates antagonism between these effects and decreases total heritability for AWG to 0.18. The contribution of dam permanent environment to phenotypic variance was between a minimum of 0.05 for BW and a maximum of 0.12 for AWG. Genetic correlation between BW and AWG was --0.06, showing that these traits are genetically non-dependent. The genetic correlations found between AWG and VS were from 0.71 to 0.86, and among VS traits from 0.58 to 0.91. These positive associations among VS traits and these with pre-weaning growth phase, support the simultaneous selection of these traits, by means of selection indexes.
