Abstract

This study aimed to compare estimates of (co)variances considering the effect of direct maternal genetic correlation (-0,50; -0,25; +0,25; +0,50); the ratios between the direct and maternal genetic variances (75:75; 50:100; 100:50) and two models which included (M2) or not (M1) the direct maternal genetic covariance. Stochastic simulation of twenty replicates of a closed and randomly mated herd of cattle was carried out for twenty years of selection. The base population was not related, nonselected and randomly sampled. (Co)variance estimates were obtained under single trait animal model using MTDFREML application. The model was not significant on estimates of maternal permanent environmental variance. The genetic direct-maternal correlation influenced all (co)variance estimates significantly (P
