Abstract
Objetivou-se com este trabalho estimar os parâmetros genéticos e fenotípicos de características reprodutivas de fêmeas de rebanhos das regiões Norte e Nordeste do Brasil. As características estudadas foram idade ao primeiro parto (IPP), intervalo de partos (IDP), período de serviço (PS), número de serviços por concepção (NSC) e período de gestação (PG). Os modelos utilizados para cada característica foram selecionados por meio do procedimento MIXED do programa SAS e os componentes de variância foram estimados pelo método da Máxima Verossimilhança Restrita Livre de Derivada, utilizando-se o software MTDFREML. As médias observadas para IPP, IDP, PS, NSC e PG foram 45,14±10,83 meses; 465,55±128,49 dias; 165,76±110,29 dias; 1,34±0,67 serviços e 295,03±5,85 dias, respectivamente. As estimativas de herdabilidade para IPP, IDP, PS, NSC e PG foram, respectivamente, 0,21±0,05; 0,05±0,02; 0,32±0,11; 0,05±0,04 e 0,12±0,04. As estimativas de repetibilidade encontradas para IDP, PS, NSC e PG foram, nesta ordem, 0,05; 0,63; 0,09 e 0,22. Os resultados sugerem que, apesar da pequena variabilidade genética para a maioria das características, a IPP e o PG são características reprodutivas que devem ser incluídas em programas de seleção. A elevada herdabilidade obtida para PS pode ser decorrente da estrutura dos dados analisados, provenientes, em sua grande maioria, de um mesmo rebanho. O baixo valor para a repetibilidade do IDP indica que o descarte de fêmeas com base no desempenho ao seu primeiro intervalo de partos pode ocasionar a eliminação de animais que poderão apresentar boa eficiência reprodutiva no futuro.
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for reproductive traits of Nelore cows raised in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. The traits studied were age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI), post-partum interval (PPI), number of services per conception (NSC) and gestation length (GL). The statistical analyses were done using the SAS program (Statistical Analysis System) and variance components were estimated by Restricted Maximum Likelihood method using the MTDFREML software. Means and heritability estimates for AFC, CI, PPI, NSC and GL were 45.14±10.83 months; 465.55±128.49 days; 165.76±110.29 days; 1.34±0.67 services and 295.03±5.85 days and 0.21±0.05; 0.05±0.02; 0.32±0.11; 0.05±0.04 e 0.12±0.04, respectively. The repeatability for CI, PPI, NSC and GL were, respectively, 0.05; 0.63; 0.09 and 0.22. The results suggest that despite the small genetic variability for the reproductive traits, AFC and GL must be included in selection programs. The high heritability estimate for PPI is probably associated to the structure of the data, in its majority coming from the same herd. The repeatability estimate for CI suggests that female culling based on first calving interval is not accurate and there is a risk of culling animals with probable good reproductive efficiency.
