Predicting Mastitis Resistance Breeding Values from Somatic Cell Count Indicator Traits
A new breeding value estimation procedure for mastitis traits has been implemented in the Dutch/Flemish dairy genetic evaluation. This breeding value estimation uses incidences of subclinical mastitis together with five indicator traits derived from test day somatic cell counts to predict the breeding value for resistance against subclinical and clinical mastitis (SCM and CM, resp.). The mastit...
متن کاملRelationship of Somatic Cell Count and Mastitis: An Overview
Mastitis is characterized by physical, chemical and bacteriological changes in the milk and pathological changes in the glandular tissue of the udder and affects the quality and quantity of milk. The bacterial contamination of milk from the affected cows render it unfit for human consumption and provides a mechanism of spread of diseases like tuberculosis, sore-throat, Q-fever, brucellosis, lep...

متن کاملResponse to somatic cell count-based selection for mastitis resistance in a divergent selection experiment in sheep.
A divergent selection experiment in sheep was implemented to study the consequences of log-transformed somatic cell score (SCS)-based selection on resistance to natural intramammary infections. Using dams and progeny-tested rams selected for extreme breeding values for SCS, we created 2 groups of ewes with a strong divergence in SCS of approximately 3 genetic standard deviations. A survey of 84...
متن کاملFeasibility of International Genetic Evaluations of Dairy Sires for Somatic Cell Count and Clinical Mastitis
Selection of foreign sires involves risk when genetic values for breeding goal traits are unknown. Information to support objective selection decisions concerning foreign sires are confined to the information from Interbull=s routine evaluations for production and conformation traits. Functional traits are associated with efficiency of production by their direct influence on costs of production...
