ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to develop a bio-economic model for the estimation of economic values of economically important traits in a full-cycle beef cattle production system. The bioeconomic model calculated economic values by simulating the impact of changes in the profit of the system consisting of a 1% increase in each trait of the breeding objective, while the other traits were kept constant. The bio-economic model was effective in estimating the sources of revenues and expenses of the production system. The estimated economic values were, in the order of importance for the full-cycle system, R$ 3.69 for male slaughter weight, R$ 3.63 for male weaning weight, R$ 3.58 for weaning rate, R$ 3.40 for female slaughter weight, R$ 2.30 for female weaning weight, and R$ 0.13 for mature cow weight. The results showed that all traits evaluated in the full-cycle system had positive economic impact, indicating that selection would increase profitability maximizing the expected response for the traits of the breeding goal.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho produtivo e reprodutivo de fêmeas mestiças do cruzamento Holandês x Gir. As características avaliadas foram: produção de leite acumulada até 305 dias (P305), produção total de leite (PTL), produção por dia de intervalo de partos (PIP), idade ao primeiro parto (IPP), intervalo de partos (IDP), período de serviço (PS) e período de gestação (PG), que foram analisadas utilizando-se modelos lineares mistos. A função Gama Incompleta foi utilizada para estimação dos parâmetros das curvas de lactação para cada composição racial. Os animais dos grupos genéticos (GG) 3/4H, 7/8H e puros por cruza (PC) obtiveram melhores desempenhos para as características produtivas, e os animais do GG 1/2H obtiveram melhor desempenho para as características reprodutivas. Os animais PC Holandês apresentaram as curvas com maiores níveis de produção e maiores produções no pico da lactação, mas em contrapartida menores persistências. Os animais 1/2H apresentaram persistência um pouco inferior aos GG 3/4H e 7/8H. A produção de leite no decorrer da lactação em função do período de gestação variou de acordo com cada GG, sendo que o grupo PC apresentou queda mais acentuada na produção após a concepção.(AU)


This study aimed to evaluate the productive and reproductive performance of Holtein-Frisian x Gir crossbred cows. The traits evaluated were: milk production up to 305 days (P305), total milk production (PTL), production per day of calving interval (PIP), age at first calving (IPP), calving interval (IDP), service period (PS) and gestation length (PG), which were analyzed using mixed linear models. The Incomplete gamma function was used to estimate the parameters of lactation curves for each genetic group. The animals of genetic groups (GG) 3/4H, 7/8H and pure by crosses (PC) achieved higher performances for productive traits, and animals from the GG 1/2H achieved better performance for reproductive traits. The Holstein-Frisian PC animals presented the lactation curves with higher production levels and higher productions at the peak of the lactation but with less persistence. The 1/2H animals had slightly lower persistence in comparison to genetic groups 3/4H and 7/8H. Milk production in function of gestation length varied according to each group and Holstein-Frisian (PC) presented greater decrease in milk yield after conception.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estudar a influência do uso da somatotropina bovina (bST) sobre a produção de leite (PL305) e a avaliação genética da PL305 de bovinos da raça Holandesa. Foram utilizados dados referentes a 474 touros e observações referentes a 3341 lactações de 1271 vacas, durante o período de 1999 a 2003. A análise de variância foi realizada pelo procedimento GLM do SAS (2003) e os parâmetros genéticos sob modelo animal unicaracterístico. As estimativas de herdabilidades para o modelo 1 (bST como efeito fixo) e modelo 2 (ausência desse efeito) foram respectivamente de 0,26 e 0,23 e a correlações entre os valores genéticos preditos para os conjuntos de touros a (todos avaliados), b (os melhores 20% ), c (os melhores 10%) e d (os melhores 5%) foram, respectivamente, 0,9484, 0,9829, 0,9752 e 0,8974. A análise de variância demonstrou que as médias de PL305 aumentaram significativamente (P<0,0001), com aumento do número de aplicações do bST. As altas correlações de Spearman entre os valores genéticos dos touros, considerando-se ou não o uso do bST no modelo, indicam que o uso desta tecnologia não interfere na classificação dos touros avaliados geneticamente.


The objective of this work was to study the influence of the use of bovine somatotropin (bST) on milk yield (MP305) and genetic evaluation of MP305 of Holstein Cattle. Data from 474 bulls and observations concerning 3.341 lactations of 1.271 cows during the period from 1999 to 2003 were used. Variance analysis was performed by the GLM SAS procedure (2003) and parameters in one animal model. The heritability estimates for model 1(bST as a fixed effect) and model 2 (absence of this effect) were respectively 0.26 and 0.23 for the two analyses and correlations between estimated breeding values for bulls sets a (all evaluated), b (best 20%), c (best 10%) and d (best 5%) were, respectively, 0.9484, 0.9829, 0.9752 and 0.8974. Variance analysis of variance showed that the average PL305 increased significantly (P<0.0001) with the increase number of bST applications. The Spearman correlations coefficients between breeding values of bulls were high, with or without the use of bST in the model, indicating that the use of this technology does not affect the classification of genetically evaluated bulls.
