The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of relationship information over genetic parameters estimates and accuracies of breeding values. Thus, we evaluated the quality by making corrections based on SNPs markers. Variance components were estimated under Bayesian approach via Gibbs sampling. The evaluation of the correct relationship was performed using markers of 3,591 individuals in a population consisting of 12,668 animals. Mendelian conflicts were deflned as conflicts between the progeny and parents markers. Thus, 460 changes were performed, which 54% had a buII or cow on pedigree. We observed, on average, match parent were defined with 75 markers, whiIe no- match parent n was performed with 2,700 markers. Annealing algorithm Molecular coancestry program provided 2,174 new haIf-sibs relationships. We observed that higher quality on pedigree information provided increase in accuracy of breeding values and higher heritability estimates (0.22 i 0.0286), suggesting the possibility of direct selection for tick resistance. We used a 5-fold cross-validation strategy using K-means and random methods to group the animals. The results of cross-validation indicate that higher quality of the pedigree relationships provide higher accuracy. The weaning weight was used to evaluate muItipIe sires progeny (MS) and embryo transfer and in vitro fertilization animals (TEF). We used three strategies to include MS information: genetic groups (GG), bayesian hierarchical method (HIER) and the average numerator relationship matrix (ANRM). The deviance information criteria (DIC) was used as Bayesian measure of fIt, which suggested that HIER strategy provided better fIt when MS information is consider. However, ANRM provided best fit to include TEF animals. We use foster dam information to estimate the maternal genetic and maternal permanent environmental effects when considering TEF animals. We didn't observed statistical difference in variance components and genetic parameters considering information TEF animals, but breeding values showed greater values. Spearman correlations between breeding values were higher for base, animals with certain paternity and MS progeny. However, the use of TEF animals information significantly changed the predicted breeding values. The use of appropriate methodologies to include the information of MS progeny and TEF animals provide most accurate prediction of breeding values and assist in higher rates of genetic gain.
