Orientador: Mateus José Rodrigues Paranhos da Costa / Coorientador: Lúcia Galvão de Albuquerque / Coorientador: Arione Augusti Boligon / Banca: Fernando Sebastián Baldi Rey / Banca: Maria Eugênia Zerlotti Mercadante / Resumo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as relações entre o temperamento e características de escores visuais. Utilizou-se a estatística bayesiana, com análises tricaracterísticas sob modelo animal linear-limiar na obtenção dos parâmetros genéticos e estimação de coeficientes de correlação genética, sendo o seguinte modelo utilizado: y = Xβ + Z1a + Z2m + Z3c + e. Foram avaliadas as características: conformação (CS), precocidade (PS), musculatura (MS), escore de temperamento (ET) e velocidade de saída (VS), avaliadas ao sobreano, além do peso ao desmame (PD), como característica "âncora". Para as características CS, PS e MS os maiores escores indicaram as melhores expressões das características. Para o ET os maiores escores indicaram animais de pior temperamento e para VS os maiores valores indicaram os animais de melhor temperamento. Foram utilizados dados de animais da raça Nelore, com 125.760 animais na matriz de parentesco, nascidos entre 1984 e 2010, pertencentes à Agropecuária Jacarezinho Ltda. As herdabilidades estimadas para ET, VS, CS, PS e MS foram 0,25 ± 0,01; 0,21 ± 0,01; 0,32 ± 0,03; 0,34 ± 0,04 e 0,31 ± 0,03, respectivamente. As correlações genéticas entre temperamento e escores visuais foram favoráveis, entretanto baixas: ET x CS= -0,13 ± 0,01; ET x PS = -0,10 ± 0,02 e ET x MS = -0,17 ± 0,02; VS x CS = -0,09 ± 0,00; VS x PS = -0,14 ± 0,22 e VS x MS = - 0,14 ± 0,01. Não recomenda-se a seleção indireta para temperamento através da seleção para os escores visuais de CS, PS ou MS. A inclusão de temperamento (ET ou VS) e CS, PS e MS, simultaneamente nos índices de seleção, pode ser realizada, com a expectativa de mudanças a longo prazo / Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between temperament and visual scores traits. Bayesian statistics was used, with tri-characteristic analysis under the linear-treshold animal model to obtain the genetic parameters and the estimation of coefficients of genetic correlation, according to the following model: y = Xβ + Z1a + Z2m + Z3c + e. The following characteristics were considered: conformation (CS), precocity (PS), muscularity (MS), temperament score (ET) and flight speed (VS), evaluated at the yearling, besides the weaning weight (PD), as an "anchor" trait. For CS, PS and MS the greatest scores indicate the best expressions of characteristics. For the ET the highest score indicate animals with the worst temperament and for VS the highest values indicate animals with the best temperament. Data from 125.760 Nelore cattle in the kinship matrix, born between 1984 and 2010, belonging to the Agropecuária Jacarezinho Ltda. were used for the analysis. The estimated heritability for ET, VS, CS, PS and MS were 0,25 ± 0,01; 0,21 ± 0,01; 0,32 ± 0,03; 0,34 ± 0,04 e 0,31 ± 0,03, respectively. The genetic correlations between temperament and visual scores were favorables, but low: ET x CS= -0,13 ± 0,01; ET x PS = -0,10 ± 0,02 e ET x MS = -0,17 ± 0,02; VS x CS = -0,09 ± 0,00; VS x PS = -0,14 ± 0,22 e VS x MS = -0,14 ± 0,01. It is not recommended to apply indirect selection for temperament through the selection for the visual scores of CS, PS or MS. The inclusion of temperament (ET or VS) and CS, PS and MS, simultaneously in the selection indices, may be performed, with the expectation of long-term effects / Mestre
