Resumo: | The objective of this study was to evaluate the reproductive performance of heifers mated at 14, 18 and 26 months of age. The study was based on data collected from 2003 to 2005 from 270 heifers (Aberdeen Angus, Devon and cross-breeds) and mated at 14 (A14, n = 70), 18 (A18, n = 36) and 26 months old (A26, n = 164). The attributes analyzed among the different groups were age at mating (AM), average weight gain from birth to mating (AWG-BM), weight at mating (WM) and pregnancy rate (PR). The PR was tested using Qui-square test and the average weight gains and weight at mating were tested using the test t of Student. The WM was 312.0 kg for the A14 group, 333.0 kg for the A18 and 297.4 kg for the A26 group, where the A18 was different than A14 and A26 (P < 0.01). The AWG-BM was 0.658 kg, 0.507 kg and 0.353 kg for the A14, A18 and A26 groups, respectively, showing significance differences (P < 0.01). The PR was 84.3% for the A14 group, 94.4% for the A18 and 90.9% for the A26 animals group (P > 0.05). Thus, it is possible to conclude that the different ages at mating did not influence on the pregnancy rate. |

O trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o desempenho reprodutivo de novilhas de corte acasaladas aos 14, 18 e 26 meses de idade. Foram coletados, durante os anos de 2003, 2004 e 2005, dados de 270 novilhas de corte de raças britânicas Aberdeen Angus, Devon e cruzas Angus x Devon x Nelore, acasaladas aos 14 (A14, n = 70), 18 (A18, n = 36) e 26 meses de idade (A26, n = 164). As características analisadas para os diferentes grupos foram peso ao início do acasalamento (PIA), ganho médio diário do nasci- mento ao acasalamento (GMD N-A) e taxa de prenhez (TP). A taxa de prenhez foi testada pelo Qui-quadrado, enquanto o peso ao início do acasalamento e o ganho médio diário entre os grupos foram avaliados pela análise de variância, teste-t. O PIA foi de 312,0 kg para o grupo A14, 333,0 kg para o grupo A18 e 297,4 kg para o grupo A26 , sendo que A18 diferiu de A14 e A26 (P < 0,01). O GMD N-A foi de 0,658 kg/dia, 0,507 kg/dia e 0,353 kg/dia para os grupos A14, A18 e A26, respectivamente, apresentan- do diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos (P < 0,01). A taxa de prenhez (TP) foi de 84,3 % para o grupo de novilhas do A14, 94,4% para as novilhas do A18 e 90,9% para o grupo de animais A26 (P > 0,05). Com estes resultados pode-se concluir que as diferentes idades ao acasalamento em que as novilhas foram submetidas não interferiram na taxa de prenhez.
