Estimation of genetic parameters for perinatal sucking behavior of Italian Brown Swiss calves.
Brown Swiss breeders sometimes experience difficulties in feeding calves because of the weak sucking ability of the calves in the early days of life. For the welfare of the calves, they should be suckled by their dams or should aggressively ingest colostrum immediately after birth. The composition of colostrum changes rapidly during the first few days of lactation, and the ability of calves to ...
متن کاملGenetic evaluation of calving ease for Brown Swiss and Jersey bulls from purebred and crossbred calvings.
The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of implementing routine national calving ease (CE) genetic evaluations of Brown Swiss (BS) and Jersey (JE) sires that include records of crossbred calvings. Records were available for 11,793 BS calvings, 3431 BS-sired crosses, 65,293 JE calvings, and 7090 JE-sired crosses. Evaluations were performed for each breed using only purebred ca...
متن کاملGenetic Parameter Estimation for Casein in Brown Swiss
The most part of Italian Brown Swiss milk goes to cheese so casein is fundamental. The trait currently used in selection is protein content tested in routine milk recording (test-day protein content). Now is possible to determine casein content on each cow by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (IR). This allows to analyse casein routinely for each test day. In this study, 1022 milk samples...
متن کاملGenetic parameters and evaluation of rear legs (rear view) for Brown Swiss and Guernseys.
Genetic parameters were estimated for rear legs (rear view; RLRV) and 15 current linear type traits of Brown Swiss and Guernsey dairy cattle. The Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders' Association of the USA and the American Guernsey Association began scoring RLRV in 2004. For Brown Swiss, 8,502 records were available for 7,676 cows in 417 herds; Guernsey data included 5,437 records for 4,749 cows in 229...
متن کاملEstimation of (co) variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Arman sheep
(Co) variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Arman sheep were estimated, using data collected during an 11-year period (1999-2010), by applying the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) procedure under univariate and bivariate animal models. The studied traits were body weight of lamb at birth (BW), body weight at 3 months of age as weaning weight (WW), body weight at 6 m...
