A multiple-trait herd cluster model for international dairy sire evaluation.
International dairy sire evaluations have traditionally been calculated using a two-step process. Lactation records within each country are used to predict national estimated breeding values, then these national breeding values are transformed to the genetic base, scale, and units of measurement of other countries by using conversion formulae or the multiple-trait, across-country evaluation met...
متن کاملPotential Impact of Bovine Somatotropin on Dairy Sire Evaluation
Use of bovine somatotropin to increase product ion of milk and milk solids poses the problem of allocation within herd and implications for genetic evaluatat ion records with and without bovine somatotropin were simulated for different correlations between performance with and without t reatment and response to it. Resulting within-herd variances and accuracy and bias in sire evaluations were c...
متن کاملThe Effect of Dams of Sire Path Management on Genetic and Economic Parameters in a Simulated Genomic Selection Program
A deterministic model based on the gene flow method, considering the features of Iranian Holstein cattle population, was implemented in this study to evaluate the effect of altering the number of age-classes in the dams of future sire (DS) path and the number of dams required for breeding a young bull (YB), to be evaluated as future sire, on genetic gain and resultant economic efficiency of a g...
متن کاملEffect of Heterogeneity of Variance on Dairy Sire Evaluation
The effects of heterogeneity of variance among herds on dairy sire evaluation were examined. Data consisted of 111,196 first lactation Holstein production records of heifers calving in Ontario between 1978 and 1983. To account for selection, older sires without first crop daughters in the data were treated as fixed effects. Herds were classified into one of nine groups based on their estimated ...
متن کاملGenetic evaluation of stillbirth in United States Holsteins using a sire-maternal grandsire threshold model.
A sire-maternal grandsire threshold model was used for genetic evaluation of stillbirth in US Holsteins. Calving ease and stillbirth records for herds reporting at least 10 dead calves were extracted from the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory database. About half of the 14 million calving ease records in the database had a known livability score, mostly from herds processed by Dairy Record...
