Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to estimate the variance components and genetic parameters for marbling in the ribeye area (MRA) and body condition score (BCS) using Bayesian inference via mixed linear and threshold animal models. Data were obtained from Santa Ines breed sheep reared in the Brazilian Mid-North region. Analyses considering the Monte Carlo methods were performed with Markov chains from 500000 cycles onward. A 200000-cycle initial burn-in was considered with values taken at every 250 cycles, in a total of 1200 samples. The Monte Carlo Error deviations were low for the means heritability in all chains by both linear and threshold models. Additive variances estimated by threshold model were higher than those estimated by the linear model. Marble meat from the ribeye area and body condition score can be used as selection criteria to obtain genetic progress in Santa Ines sheep. Key words: Gibbs sampling, categorical data, marble meat, ultrasound. O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar componentes de variancia e parametros geneticos para marmoreio na area de olho de lombo (MOL) e escore de condicao corporal (ECC) usando Inferencia Bayesiana por meio dos modelos animais linear misto e de limiar. Os dados foram obtidos em rebanhos de ovinos da raca Santa Ines criados no Meio-Norte do Brasil. As analises, considerando os metodos de Monte Carlo, foram realizadas com cadeias de Markov a partir de 500000 ciclos. Considerou-se burn-in inicial de 200000 ciclos com valores tomados a cada 250 ciclos, obtendo-se 1200 amostras. Os desvios do erro de Monte Carlo foram baixos para as herdabilidades medias em todas as cadeias, tanto pelo modelo linear quanto de limiar. As variancias aditivas, estimadas pelo modelo de limiar, foram maiores que aquelas obtidas pelo modelo linear. O marmoreio na area de olho de lombo e o escore da condicao corporal podem ser usados como criterios de selecao para obter progresso genetico em ovinos da raca Santa Ines. Palavras-chave: amostragem de Gibbs, dados categoricos, gordura de marmoreio, ultrassonografia.
