Genetic parameters and trends in the Chilean multibreed dairy cattle population.
Estimates of additive and nonadditive multibreed co-variance components, genetic parameters, and predicted genetic values for first lactation 305-d mature equivalent (ME) milk yield, fat yield, and protein yield were computed using data from a sample of 3316 cows from the Chilean Holstein-other breeds multibreed population. Variances and covariances were estimated by 2-trait REML analyses using...
متن کاملVariance Components and Genetic Parameters for Milk Production and Lactation Pattern in an Ethiopian Multibreed Dairy Cattle Population
The objective of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters for lactation milk yield (LY), lactation length (LL), average milk yield per day (YD), initial milk yield (IY), peak milk yield (PY), days to peak (DP) and parameters (ln(a) and c) of the modified incomplete gamma function (MIG) in an Ethiopian multibreed dairy cattle population. The dataset was composed of 5...
متن کاملThe Influence of Breed Composition on Weaning Weight Parameters in a Multibreed Beef Cattle Population
Direct and maternal components were estimated for birth weight and weaning weight in a multibreed cattle population. Data consisted of 20840 records of calves with varying levels of British (B), Charolais (C), Simmental (S) and Afrikaner (A) breeds. It included several F1, backcrosses, threebreed and fourbreed crosses, having an approximate average composition of /8B : /8S : /8C : /8A. The numb...
متن کاملGenetic and Phenotypic Trends of Productive and Reproductive Traits in Iranian Holstein Dairy Cattle of Isfahan Province
Productive and reproductive traits have great importance in international dairy cattle breeding objectives. Production, reproduction (days open and calving interval) and pedigree data of Iranian Holstein dairy cattles were collected between 2002 and 2012 from 47 herds in Isfahan province. The data set consisted of 30179 records from 18837 registered IranianHolstein dairy cattles. Single trait r...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for calving rate and calf survival from linear, threshold, and logistic models in a multibreed beef cattle population.
Generalized mixed linear, threshold, and logistic sire models and Markov chain, Monte Carlo simulation procedures were used to estimate genetic parameters for calving rate and calf survival in a multibreed beef cattle population. Data were obtained from a 5-generation rotational crossbreeding study involving Angus, Brahman, Charolais, and Hereford (1969 to 1995). Gelbvieh and Simmental bulls si...
