Resumo
Os objetivos neste trabalho foram avaliar diferentes modelos, em relação aos efeitos maternos considerados, para características de crescimento e estimar os parâmetros genéticos para essas características em bovinos da raça Canchim, por meio de análises uni, bi e multicaracterísticas. As características peso ao nascimento, peso ao desmame, pesos padronizados para 12, 18, 24 e 30 meses de idade em machos e fêmeas e peso adulto de fêmeas foram analisadas utilizando-se quatro modelos com os efeitos aleatórios adicionados em sequência. Os efeitos maternos influenciaram os pesos do nascimento aos 2 anos de idade e o peso à desmama foi o mais afetado pelos efeitos maternos. As estimativas de herdabilidade direta obtidas das análises bi e multicaracterísticas foram superiores àquelas obtidas das análises unicaracterísticas. As estimativas de herdabilidade do efeito genético direto obtidas usando análise multicaracterística foram 0,39 para peso ao nascer; 0,31 para peso à desmama; 0,29 para peso aos 12 meses; 0,28 para peso aos 18 meses; 0,26 para peso aos 24 meses; 0,30 para peso aos 30 meses; e 0,38 para peso à idade adulta. As correlações genéticas estimadas entre pesos obtidos em idades jovens com peso à idade adulta foram altas, acima de 0,79. A seleção com base em características de crescimento em qualquer idade pode promover ganhos genéticos moderados no peso corporal de animais da raça Canchim em todas as idades-padrão, inclusive nos pesos ao nascer e à idade adulta das fêmeas. É importante considerar nas análises os pesos prévios à seleção para estimar parâmetros genéticos para pesos após a seleção. A análise multicaracterística é a mais indicada.
The objectives of this work were to evaluate different models, regarded to considered maternal effects, for growth traits and to estimate genetic parameters for these traits in Canchim breed bovine, by one, two and multitrait analyses. The weight traits at birth, at weaning, standardized weight for 12, 18, 24 and 30 months of age in males and females, and mature female weight were analyzed using four models with random effects added in sequence. Maternal effects influenced birth weight at 2 years of age and weaning weight was the most affected by maternal effects. Direct heritability estimates obtained by two- and multitrait analyses were higher than those obtained through one-trait analyses. Estimates of direct genetic effect heritability obtained using multi-trait analyses were 0.39 for weight at birth; 0.31 for weight at weaning; 0.29 for weight at 12 months of age; 0.28 for weight at 18 months of age; 0.26 for weight at 24 months of age; 0.30 for weight at 30 months of age and 0.38 for weight at mature age. Genetic correlations estimated among weights at early ages and mature weight were high, above 0.79. Selection based on growth traits at any age can promote intermediate genetic gains on the body weight of Canchim breed animals at all standard ages, including weight at birth and at mature age of females. It is important to consider in the analyses the weights previous to selection to estimate genetic parameters for weights after selection. Multitrait analyses is the best indicated.
