Genetic Aspects of Beef Production among Holstein-friesians Pedigree Selected for Milk Production
To explore the potential of cattle to produce both milk and beef, the genetic aspects of beef production among Holstein‐Friesian bulls pedigree selected for milk were studied. The data included growth records of 504 bulls (DPT) by 120 sires (SPT) pedigree selected for progeny testing by American Breeders Service, 1964 to 1971. DPT bulls with proofs had an average predicted difference for milk (...
متن کاملFactors Affecting the Dry Period Length and Its Effect on Milk Production and Composition in Subsequent Lactation of Holstein Cows
The study aimed to determine factors affecting the dry period length and effect of dry days on milk yield, milk composition and lactation length in the next lactation of dairy cows. Data used for analysis included 7264 lactation records collected from 2012 to 2016 on 4737 Holstein cows raised in 152 herds. The statistical model used to determine the factors influencing the dry period length sho...
متن کاملFactors affecting reproductive performance in high milk-producing Holstein cows.
Although the number of dairy farms is decreasing, that of large farms is increasing in Japan. Milk production in Japanese dairy cows has increased from 62 kg/year to 88 kg/year over the last 2 decades. However, Japanese dairy cows are experiencing a sustained decline in reproductive performance, calving intervals, and days open; further, the number of inseminations required for conception have ...
متن کاملGenetic Analysis of Milk Yield in Iranian Holstein Cattle by the Test Day Model
Using monthly test day records the genetic parameters of Iranian Holstein cattle in first lactation were studied. Data of 277400 test-day milk records from 65320 cows and 2210 sires were analyzed by an animal random regression model using restricted maximum likelihood methodology. The model included herd-test-date, interaction between year-season of calving, days in milk (linear and quadratic) ...
متن کاملThe relation between breeding management and 305-day milk production, determined via principal components regression and partial least squares
A field study was set up to investigate the relation between breeding management and 305-day milk production. Second goal of the study was to investigate advantages and disadvantages of principal components regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) for livestock management research. Multicollinearity was present in the data set and the number of variables was high compared to the number ...
