Resumo
The objective of this paper was to study the genetic
correlations of the visual scores traits with the growth continuous
traits, by applying bayesian statistic methodology,
using two-trait analyses under linear-threshold animal models.
The morphological categorical traits of musculature,
physical structure, conformation and sacrum were studied
in animals of the Nelore breed at the age of 8, 15 and 22
months, and also in adult cows; and the growth continuous
traits, weights at the age of 210, 365 and 450 days old, as
well as the adult weight of the cow. Estimates of genetic
correlations between these visual scores (musculature,
physical structure and conformation) with the growth
traits were favorably positive, indicating that the selection
of one of them will bring genetic progress to another. The
results achieved in this study also indicated that the physical
structure and the conformation are determined, to a large extent, by the same sets of genes as the weight. In the same
way, the evaluated visual scores in adult cows presented high
genetic correlations with the adult weight of the cow. As
concerning the sacrum, the estimates of genetic correlations
were low and negative.
