Genetic Relationship between Milk Production, Calving Ease and Days Open at First Parity in Holstein Cows
Data containing 14,188 lactation and reproductive records of Korean Holstein cows at first parity distributed across 3,734 herd-year-season groups were analyzed to get genetic (co)variance estimates for milk yield, fat yield, calving ease, and days open. Milk and Fat yields were adjusted to 305 d. Heritabilities and genetic correlations were estimated in two different animal models on which wer...
متن کاملUdder edema and association with some serum biochemical measurands and dietary factors in first calving cows
The aims of this study were to determine some major biochemical alterations observed in first calving cows with udder edema during the periparturient period and to detect some associations between dietary factors and the disease. For that, the concentrations of some electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl, Ca2+, P and Mg2+), lipid (triglycerides and cholesterol) markers and lipoproteins (HDL, LDL and VLDL) a...
متن کاملGenetic relationships among calving ease, birth weight and perinatal calf survival in Charolais cattle*
Perinatal calf mortality affects profitability of beef cattle production systems, hence, it would eventually be beneficial to include this trait in a breeding goal. The objectives of this study were to estimate the environmental effects and heritabilities of and genetic correlations among birth weight (BW), calving ease (CE) and calf survival (CS) in Charolais cattle, in the Czech Republic. The...
متن کاملCross Breeding in Dairy Cattle: The Effect on Calving Ease
Calving traits for frequently used dairy breeds and crossbreeds were investigated using calving records collected in Australia over a period of 18 years. Dystocia (calving difficulty) was highest for heifers calving to Holstein-Friesian bulls, and Jersey calves caused the least dystocia. Incidence of dystocia in Holsteins was influenced by the season (gestation lengths were longer in winter, re...
