The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of different threshold models to determine the genetic variability in Nellore cattle, with basis on the heritability estimates for the traits stayability (STA) and first calving probability at 36 months of age (CP36). Data came from the Nellore herds participating in the animal breeding program of the Embrapa-Geneplus partnership. Binomial and multi-threshold models were defined for the STA and CP36 traits. Heritability estimates were obtained following Bayesian procedures in the Multiple-trait Gibbs Sampler for Animal Models (MTGSAM) software, using a sire-maternal grandsire model. The heritability estimates, provided by the binary and alternative models, were, respectively, 0.08 and 0.12 for STA and 0.17 and 0.12 for CP36. The multi-threshold model can efficiently detect the genetic variability for stayability, but not for probability of calving for 36-month-old cows.
