Genetic Evaluation of Body Weight and Body Measurements in Madura Cattle at Weaning Age
نویسندگان
چکیده
Body weight and body measurements at weaning age are important traits representing growth in beef cattle. This research was conducted the Technical Unit of Madura Cattle Forage for Animal Feed, Pamekasan, Madura, Indonesia. Eighty-six data points performance cattle age, born 2014-2019 were used to evaluate estimate heritability (WW) measurement (chest girth (CG), length (BL) wither height (WH)) age. Weaning corrected 205 days. Estimation variance components performed using restricted maximum likelihood applying genetic models Genstat version 18. The mean WW, CG, BL WH female 83.82 +17.91 kg; 100.87 +7.80 cm; 87.66 +8.96 93.04 +5.49 cm, respectively. male 81.02 +20.52 100.12 +9.82 85.94 +9.54 92.69 +7.46 There significant difference between year calf birth. number sires each varied 1 7 sires. values 0.60, 0.43, 0.48 0.44, respectively.
 Keywords: length, chest girth, heritability, weight,

The Estimation of Body Weight from Body Measurements in Kilakarsal Sheep of Tamil Nadu, India
Data on body weight and body measurements (body length, height at withers, chest girth and paunch girth) of adult Kilakarsal sheep have been collected from 124 adult animals managed at the farmers filed in Tirunelveli districts of Tami Nadu, India to estimate the body weight from body measurements. The data were subjected to standard statistical analysis using SPSS software and linear regressio...

For estimating genetic parameters for body weight traits in Kourdi sheep data were collected from 1996 to 2013 in Kourdi Breeding Station in Northern Khorasan province of Iran. Studied traits were birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), six-month weight (6MW), nine-month weight (9MW) and yearling weight (YW). The fixed effects in the model were lambing year, sex, type of birth and age of dam. (...
متن کاملInfluence of Age, Body Weight and Body Condition on Plasma Leptin Concentrations in Beef Cattle
Reproductive competence is one of the most important components in the overall management of a cow-calf operation. The ability to maintain a 365-day calving interval in a high percentage of the females influences the profitability of all breeding operations. In most cases, low reproductive efficiency can be directly linked to the nutritional status of the animal(s). Research has shown that poor...

The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of prediction of body weight from body measurements in beef cattle. Wither height, chest girth, body length, chest depth, hip width and hip height measurements were obtained from Holstein, Brown Swiss and crossbred (n=140). Determination coefficients (R2) of regression equation that included all body measurements were higher in Brown Swi...
متن کاملGenetic associations between age at first calving and heifer body weight and scrotal circumference in Nelore cattle.
Summary Age at first calving (AFC) measures the entry of heifers into the beef cattle production system. This trait can be used as a selection criterion for earlier reproductive performance. Using data from Nelore cattle participating in the 'Program for Genetic Improvement of the Nelore Breed' (PMGRN-Nelore Brazil), bi-trait analyses were performed using the restricted maximum likelihood metho...
