A total of 1855 records were analysed using restricted maximum likelihood (REML) techniques to estimate heritabilities separately for males and females lambs on birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), 90-day weight (W90) and average daily gains birth to weaning (Cl) and weaning to 90 days (C2). An animal model including fixed effects of year × season, parity, litter size and rearing type; and random effects of direct genetic effect (h2D) and residual was applied. Estimates ofh2Dfor BWwere 048 (males) and 0·50 (females); for WW 0·35 (males) and 0·22 (females); for W90 0·21 (males) and 0·31 (females); for Cl 0·20 (males) and 0·25 (females); and for C2 0·18 (males) and 0·29 (females).

Abstract We evaluated a novel frame score system for Nellore cattle raised on pasture (Guimarães et al., 2020 J, Anim. Sci. 98 (Suppl. 4)). Growth traits included age-adjusted weights (kg) at birth (W0), 120 (W120), 210 (W210) and 450 (W450) days of age, and adult weight (AW). Carcass traits (by ultrasound) included ribeye area (REA, cm2), 12th-13th rib backfat (BF, mm), rump fat (RF, mm), and intramuscular fat (IMF, %). Feed efficiency traits included residual feed intake (RFI, kg of DM/d) and DM intake (DMI, kg/d). We applied the previously developed equations (that also include hip height (HH, cm) and age to 12,049 records from the National Association of Breeders and Researchers (ANCP) database:FSmales= -20.35 + 0.1305*REA + 0.2633*BF - 0.5901*RF+ 0.1139*HH + 0.0056*AGEFSfemales = -11.87 + 0.1316*REA - 0.2457*BF - 0.6218*RF + 0.1139*HH + 0.0009507*AGEThe (co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated using a linear animal model or a threshold animal model depending on the trait. The heritability estimate for frame score was moderate (0.30). Estimated genetic correlations were moderate for growth traits (W0, 0.51; W120, 0.41; W210, 0.35; W450, 0.29; AW, 0.39). Estimated genetic correlations for carcass and efficiency traits ranged from low to high (REA, 0.50; BF, -0.25; RF, -0.84; IMF, -0.15; DMI, 0.29; RFI, 0.10). The estimates support the notion that larger frame animals are heavier, leaner and later maturing, and less feed efficient. The new frame score may be a useful tool for genetic selection of animals that are best suited to their environment.

<p>El objetivo de este trabajo fue estimar parámetros genéticos para características de crecimiento y la tendencia de sus valores genéticos en una población de la raza bovina criolla sanmartinero, localizada en el departamento del Meta, Colombia. Se utilizó un modelo animal con efectos directos, maternos y de ambiente permanente y se analizaron las características peso al nacimiento (PN), peso al destete (PD) (ajustado a 240 d.), peso a los 16 meses (P16m), ganancia diaria de peso al destete (GPD) y ganancia diaria de peso desde el destete a los 16 meses (GP16m). Se analizaron 2.812 registros productivos de animales y se encontraron valores de heredabilidad directa moderados, variando desde 0,16 hasta 0,37 para GP16m y GPD respectivamente. Los valores de heredabilidad directa siempre fueron mayores que los de heredabilidad materna y los efectos de ambiente permanente variaron entre 0,024 ± 0,033 para PN hasta 0,067 ± 0,041 para P16m; los valores de repetibilidad fueron superiores para las características de PD (0,41) y GPD (0,37). Los valores genéticos anuales promedio para los efectos directos presentaron en general valores positivos, lo que muestra una tendencia creciente aunque con una alta variación a través de los años; por su parte, los valores genéticos maternos anuales promedio presentaron valores cercanos a cero, aunque en general su tendencia también fue creciente. A pesar de tratarse de un núcleo de conservación, donde no se ha dado selección para estas características, se encontró una tendencia genética que indica un cambio genético positivo.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Genetic parameters and trends for growth traits in creole cattle sanmartinero in the eastern savannas in Colombia</strong>  </p><p>The aim of this work was to estimate the genetic parameters for growth traits and the tendency of their genetic values in a population of Bovine Creole cattle Sanmartinero, located in Meta, Colombia. Was used an animal model with direct and maternal effects as well as a permanent environmental effects and were analyzed birth weight, weaning weight, (adjusted at 240 d), weight at 16 months, weaning daily gain, and daily gain at 16 months. Were analyzed a total of 2812 productive records from animals and were found direct heritability moderate values, ranging between from 0.16 to 0.3 for GP16m and GP respectively. The direct heritability values always were higher than the maternal heritability values and the permanent environmental effects ranged between 0.024 ± 0.033 for PN until 0.067 ± 0.041 for P16m, but the repeatability values were higher for PD (0.41) and GPD (0.37) traits. With reference to the tendency of average yearly genetic values for direct effects, always displayed positive values and a increase tendency however a high variation between the years were found, conversely to the genetic maternal values than displayed generally values near to zero, but their tendency also was to increase. Is noteworthy than in spite of to be a conservation herd, than do not has been used for selection programs for those traits, was found a genetic tendency that suggest a positive genetic change. </p>
