Análise genética da idade ao primeiro parto e da produtividade acumulada em bovinos da raça Nelore

Abstract

A idade ao primeiro parto (IPP) e a produtividade acumulada (PAC) são características utilizadas para avaliar o desempenho reprodutivo dos bovinos de corte. Com o objetivo de estudar a variação fenotípica destas características e as associações genéticas existentes com outras de interesse econômico, dados de animais do Programa de Melhoramento Genético da Raça Nelore (PMGRN - Nelore Brasil) foram utilizados para estimar, pelo método de máxima verossimilhança restrita, parâmetros genéticos e tendências genéticas de IPP e PAC. Análises bi-característica foram efetuadas entre IPP e PAC e entre estas e peso corporal das fêmeas corrigido para 365 (P365) e 450 (P450) dias de idade, e perímetro escrotal dos machos corrigidos para 365 (PE365), 450 (PE450), 550 (PE550) e 730 (PE730) dias de idade. As tendências genéticas de PAC e IPP foram favoráveis indicando que os critérios de seleção adotados nestas fazendas estão favorecendo estas características. As médias de herdabilidades estimadas para IPP e PAC foram de 0,03 e 0,19, respectivamente. A seleção baseada no P365 ou P450 visando melhorar a IPP seria mais eficiente do que a seleção direta para esta característica. A seleção com base na PAC poderá favorecer as fêmeas com maiores P365, P450 e menores IPP. Nestes rebanhos, o perímetro escrotal não está associado geneticamente a IPP e ao índice PAC.

Age at First Calving (AFC) and Accumulated Productivity (ACP) are traits used to evaluate the reproductive performance of the beef cattle. The knowledge of the existing genetic relationships between these traits and those that respond to the selection can aid the selective process. Data of a Brazilian Nelore cattle breeding program were used to estimate via REML the genetic, phenotypic and environmental parameters as well as the genetic trends of AFC and ACP. Bi-trait analyses were performed between AFC and ACP and between these traits and the heifers body weight adjusted to 365 (W365) and 450 (W450) days of age, and the males scrotal circumference adjusted to 365 (P365), 450 (P450), 550 (P550) and 730 (P730) days of age. The genetic trends of the AFC and ACP were favorable, indicating genetic gains of -0.011 days per year for AFC and 0.1655 kg of weaned calves per year for ACP. The means of estimated heritabilities for AFC and ACP were 0.03 and 0.19, respectively. The indirect selection for AFC by W365 and W450 is more efficient than the direct selection. The estimated genetic correlations indicated that the heavier heifers at these ages were the ones that produced more kilograms of weaned calves per year and had earlier AFC. In these herds, the males scrotal circumference was not genetically associated with AFC and ACP.
