Abstract:

The aim of this study was to estimate heritabilities, genetic correlations, heterosis and genetic trends for reproductive traits in a multiracial Angus-Brahman cattle population in the Colombian tropics. Records of age at first calving (EPP), first calving interval (PIEP) and second calving interval (SIEP) were evaluated from years 1993 to 2009. Data were analyzed using a tree-characteristic model that included the fixed effects of contemporary group (year-season for EPP, year-season-sex for PIEP and SIEP), direct additive genetic fixed effects of breed, individual heterosis; and direct additive genetic random effect of the animal, as well as the residual random effect. The variance components were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method, using the AIREML program. The estimated means were 38.5 ± 6.0, 18.4 ± 3.7, and 17.6 ± 2.77 months for EPP, PIEP and SIEP, respectively. The estimated heritabilities were 0.32 ± 0.09 for EPP, 0.04 ± 0.01 for PIEP, and 0.14 ± 0.05 for SIEP. A low and negative genetic correlation between direct effects for EPP and SIEP (-0.07 ± 0.23) was found. Genetic trend for EPP and SIEP was not significant (p>0.05), while it was significant (p≤0.05) for PIEP, although close to zero. The EPP heritability estimate suggests that genetic progress can be achieved for this feature through selection in few generations. Genetic trends indicate that the selection intensity applied to this multiracial population was not enough to influence its breeding values during the studied period.
