Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar o desenvolvimento ponderal, por meio de curva de crescimento e pesos ajustados e avaliar a diversidade entre ovinos cruzados Dorper com as raças locais, com base em características de carcaça e morfológicas. Growth rate and phenotypic diversity among crosses of Dorper ovines and local breedsAbstract -The goal of this work was to compare growth rate, by mean of growth and adjusted weight curves, and to analyze the diversity among crosses of Dorper ovines and local breeds, based on morphological and carcass features. Crossed animals were weighed in a 15-day-interval and the effects of sex, year and genetic group were analyzed. The non-linear Logistic model was used to estimate curve parameters and the degree of similarity among genetic groups was evaluated through canonic variables. Sex did not influence significantly on weight. There was a significant effect related to year and genetic group over animal's development. The estimates of growth curve based on parameters from the Logistic model indicated that the genetic group Dorper x Santa Inês presented a faster growth rate, as estimated by weight at maturity and maturity rate, followed by the genetic groups Dorper x Morada Nova and Dorper x Rabo Largo. Clustering analysis reinforced the differences among genetic groups, placing the three crosses in two groups, one comprising Dorper x Morada Nova and Dorper x Rabo Largo, and another including the cross Dorper x Santa Inês.
