Abstract
Objective: Estimate (co)variance components and genetic parameters of live weight traits and examine the effect of selection culling when using bivariate analysis in registered Charolais beef cattle. Materials and methods: The effect of incomplete data over accuracies was compared, expected progeny differences (EPD) and standard errors of prediction (SEP) were obtained and evaluated by comparing univariate and bivariate models for birth (BW), weaning (WW) and yearling (YW) weights. Results: Bivariate models for WW and YW, improved accuracies of EPDs and reduced the SEPs. Joint analysis for BW and WW increased in a 38% the accuracies and reduced SEP estimators for YW (p<0.001). Accuracies of EPD for BW obtained from univariate models were improved when BW was included in bivariate models. Conclusions: The results support the use of bivariate genetic analysis in limited or incomplete live weight indicators databases that were registered after birth, such as weaning and yearling weight.
期刊介绍:
The Journal MVZ Córdoba is an open access international scientific journal financed and edited by the University of Córdoba (Colombia). The journal publishes quarterly, continuously in PDF, XML, Epub, original articles, literature reviews, brief communications and clinical cases, peer-reviewed (double-blind) in Spanish and English, which are related to the agricultural and veterinary sciences. The journal is directed to natural and legal persons of veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, public health, epidemiology, aquaculture, biology, basic biomedical sciences and biotechnology and constitutes a space for academic and scientific discussion around the work of professionals in Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics. Four-monthly publication.
"The Journal MVZ Córdoba supports the policies for registration of clinical trials of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), since it recognizes the importance of these initiatives for international registration and dissemination. of information about clinical studies, in open access. As a result, since 2007, the journal MVZ Córdoba only publishes clinical research articles that have received an identification number in one of the Clinical Trial Registries validated by the criteria established by WHO and ICMJE, whose addresses are available in the ICMJE website. The identification number is recorded at the end of the summary. "
