摘要

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for accumulated productivity (ACP), first calving interval (CII), second calving interval (CI2), and mean calving interval (MCI) in Nelore beef cattle. The ACP trait is a reproduction index and comprises the total number of calves born per dam, weight of weaned calves, and age of the dam at calving. Genetic parameters were estimated by the average information restricted maximum likelihood method in two trait analyses. The average heritability estimate for ACP was 0.17 (0.03). For CII, Cl2, and MCI, the heritability estimates were 0.02, 0.02, and 0.06, respectively. Genetic correlations between ACP with CI1, Cl2, and MCI were -0.16 +/- 0.47, -0.29 +/- 0.53, and -0.40 +/- 0.27, respectively. Despite of the low heritability estimates obtained in our study, reproduction traits should be further studied and their inclusion in the selection criteria must be evaluated in order to improve the performance of females because these traits are of great economic importance in beef cattle. Accumulated productivity could contribute to decrease the mean calving interval in Nelore cattle.
