The heritability estimates were 0.33 (Bl), 0.34 (Hw), 0.36 (Hh) and 0.19 (Tp). The genetic correlations among the body measurement traits were: 0.86 (Bl and Hw), 0.92 (Bl and Hh), 0.62 (Bl and Tp), 0.97 (Hw and Hh). 0.82 (Hw and Tp), and 0.70 (Hh and Tp). The phenotypic correlations were smaller. The results suggest that Bl, Hw and Hh can be modified by selectionopenAccessGeneticResumo em anais e proceedings
