          Abstract

          Informações relativas a aspectos físicos, como volume (VOL), turbilhonamento (TURB), motilidade (MOT), vigor (VIG) e concentração (CONC), e aspectos morfológicos, como defeitos maiores (DMA) e menores (DME), de 807 coletas de sêmen (CS) de 105 touros da raça Gir selecionados para leite, e suas respectivas medidas de circunferência escrotal (CE), foram utilizadas para estudar os fatores que afetam essas características e suas correlações. Modelos uni e bivariados, que incluíram os efeitos da central de inseminação, do ano e da época da CS ou da medida da CE , da idade à CS ou da medida CE e touro, foram utilizados para avaliar os efeitos destas fontes de variação e as correlações entre as características. Os efeitos da central de inseminação e de touro foram significativos para todas as características. A idade afetou apenas CE, TURB e NEMOV (= VOL x CONC x MOT). As repetibilidades, estimadas pelo modelo univariado, variaram de 0,23, para CONC, a 0,70, para TURB. As correlações fenotípicas estimadas pelos modelos bivariados foram, em geral, no sentido favorável. As correlações de Pearson entre a CE e as demais características variaram de -0,19 a 0,35. As correlações obtidas, em geral no sentido favorável, sugerem que a CE pode ser utilizada como característica de eliminação prévia dos touros que são candidatos à coleta de sêmen.

          Translated abstract

          Data related with semen characteristics such as volume (VOL), gross motility (TURB), motility (MOT), vigor (VIG), concentration (CONC), major defects (DMA) and minor defects (DME) from 807 semen output (CS) of 105 sires of the Gyr breed selected for milk production, and their measurements of scrotal circumference (CE) were used to study factors that affect these traits and the correlations among them. Uni and bivariate animal models that included the fixed effects of AI company, year and season of CS or CE measurement, age at CS or CE measurement, and random animal (bull) effect were used to evaluate the effects of these source of variation and the correlation between those traits. AI company and sire had a significant effect on all traits. Age affected only CE, TURB and NEMOV (= VOL x CONC x MOT). Repetabilities estimated by univariate model ranged from 0.23 for CONC to 0.70 for TURB. In general, phenotypic correlations, estimated by bivariate model were in a favorable direction. Pearson correlation between CE and all other traits ranged from -0.19 to 0.35. The recorded correlations, in general in a favorable direction, suggested that CE could be used as an elimination trait of sire to be pre-selected as a semen donor.
