Correlations among two or more traits indicate the extent to which they are associated. The level and magnitude of this association are key factors in genetic improvement because the goal is to enhance the genetic makeup of a group of traits that act simultaneously. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the components of variance and heritability for standard weights at 120, 240, 365, 450 and 550 days of age (P120, P240, P365, P450 and P550, respectively), and the genetic correlation among P120 and other weights in Nellore cattle using a database of 29 769 records. Bivariate analysis was carried out for all the traits using P120 as an anchor, and additive covariance was fixed as an analytical strategy in order to obtain genetic c...
