摘要

The objectives of this work were to determine heritabilities, phenotypic, and genetic correlations between production traits and to report means and standard deviations. The data comprised 2820 records, from 450 founding females and 45 founding males involving 816 measured animals. The llamas came from three different localities and the variables studied were: fleece weight (annual shearing), fleece strip weight (fleece weight predictor), staple length, mean fibre diameter, fibre diameter coefficient of variation, total medulation grade and thoracic circumference as an animal size measure. Genetic (co)variances, heritabilities and genetic and phenotypic correlations were obtained through a multivariate animal model with repeatabilities, using VCE4 (Variance Components Estimation) software. Fixed effects of the mixed model included: year of production, year of sampling (repeated), animal age at sampling, flock, coat color and type of fleece. The heritabilities and correlations obtained were generally lower than other estimates made out of the altiplano areas, but in concordance with values from the altiplano areas. It was concluded that important selection responses can be expected if these traits are used as selection criteria. The fact that the fleece strip weight can be used to predict fleece weight is an important finding, given the high genetic and phenotypic correlations between these two variables. The correlations between fleece weight, mean fibre diameter and body size were unfavorable.
