Economic weights of somatic cell score in dairy sheep.
The economic weights for somatic cell score (SCS) have been calculated using profit functions. Economic data were collected in the Latxa breed. Three aspects have been considered: bulk tank milk payment, veterinary treatments due to high SCS, and culling. All of them are non-linear profit functions. Milk payment is based on the sum of the log-normal distributions of somatic cell count, and vete...
متن کاملEstimation of genetic parameters for production traits and somatic cell score in Iranian Holstein dairy cattle using random regression model
In this study test-day records of milk (kg), fat (g), and protein (g) yields, somatic cell score (SCS, cells/ML) collected by Animal Breeding Center of Iran during 2007 and 2009 were used to estimate genetic parameters using random regression model. Models with different order of Legendre polynomials were compared using Bayesian information criterion (BIC).For milk, fat yield and SCS genetic an...
متن کاملEconomic weights of fertility, prolificacy, milk yield and longevity in dairy sheep.
Economic weights have been estimated in two breeds (Latxa and Manchega) using economic and technical data collected in 41 Latxa and 12 Manchega dairy sheep flocks. The traits considered were fertility (lambing per year), prolificacy (number of lambs), milk yield (litres) and longevity (as productive life, in years). A linear function was used, relating these traits to the different costs in the...
متن کاملEstimation of economic values and financial losses associated with clinical mastitis and somatic cell score in Holstein dairy cattle.
The objective of this study was to develop a method for calculating economic values of clinical mastitis (CM) and somatic cell score (SCS) for inclusion in a dairy cattle breeding goal in the context of a country where farm production and economic data are scarce. In order to calculate the costs and derive economic values for SCS, a new model, 'milk collection method', has been developed and wa...
متن کاملEconomic weights of Holstein cattle in Slovak dairy production system
This work presented economic weights (EWs) calculated for Holstein cattle raised in Slovak dairy productions using a bio-economic approach. EWs are calculated for alternatives with (A) and without (B) market quota. Both alternatives included three market payment systems of milk (base price per milk value was corrected according to content of fat, protein and somatic cells). Marginal EWs for mil...
