Curvas de crescimento de ovinos Bergamácia criados no Distrito Federal

Abstract: RESUMO -A análise de um banco de dados de crescimento em ovinos Bergamácia (pesos até dois anos de idade de 1982 a 1996) foi feita usando-se métodos não-lineares para determinar parâmetros de três curvas (Brody, Richards e Logística) de crescimento. Os parâmetros das curvas foram analisados pelo Statistical Analysis System (SAS) usando o procedimento GLM e CORR para determinar fatores que influenciaram os parâmetros e as correlações entre os parâmetros e pesos dos animais. O sistema de manejo foi semi-exten… Show more

“…The carcass yield is between 48% and 55% (Cano et al, 2003), owing to a lightweight lambskin that represents 8% of the total live lamb (ANCOS, 2014). The weight difference between males and females can influence the shape of the growth curve, as has been noted by several authors (Silva and Araújo, 2000;McManus et al, 2003;Sarmento et al, 2006).…”

“…Parameter k represents the relative growth rate (rate of exponential growth); high values indicate animals with precocious maturity -that is, animals that attain maturity weight quickly, and low values indicate animals with a delayed maturity or that tend to mature more slowly. Parameter m gives the shape of the growth curve and, consequently, determines the inflection point, the beginning of the auto-deceleration stage until the animal reaches adult size (McManus et al, 2003;Echeverri et al 2013;Tariq et al, 2013). Quantitative growth can be characterized using the parameters of each model (Brown et al, 1976;Fitzhugh, 1976;Hamouda and Atti, 2011).…”

“…The Brody model has been similarly selected in cattle (Brown et al, 1976;DeNise and Brinks, 1985;Doren et al, 1989) due to its ability to accommodate missing growth points and converges easily (Kaps et al, 1999). In the Bergamasca sheep in Brazil (McManus et al, 2003), among the fitted growth models (Brody, Richards, and Logistic), the Logistic model showed the goodness of fit. Lambe et al (2006) selected the Richards and Gompertz models for their accuracy of fit among four competing models (Gompertz, logistic, Richards and the exponential model).…”

“…Nesses períodos, corroborando com este estudo, Carneiro et al (2004) O desempenho superior dos machos em relação às fêmeas discorda de Carvalho et al (1999) e de Barros et al (2005), que não observaram efeito do sexo no ganho médio diário de peso (0,126 kg dia -1 ) aos 70 dias de idade, mas corrobora com Quesada et al (2002) e Mcmanus & Miranda (1997). Possivelmente, o melhor desempenho dos machos deve-se à maior ação do hormônio masculino, que proporciona benefícios para os machos não castrados em relação às fêmeas.…”
