Genetic and non-genetic parameters of replacement rate component traits in Holstein Friesian cattle
Records on 3092 pregnancies distributed over a period of 24 years (1986 to 2010) were used to estimate genetic and non genetic parameters of threshold traits in Holstein Friesian. Parity, season and year of calving were included in the model to estimate their effect on replacement traits. A total of 105 sires' records were used to study the genetic component of the characters. The overall avera...
متن کاملThe effect of non-genetic factors on reproduction traits of primiparous Polish Holstein-Friesian cows
The aim of this research was to estimate the influence of environmental factors, such as air temperature and milk production, on reproduction traits of primiparous Polish Holstein-Friesian cows. The following reproduction traits were considered: interval from calving to first insemination, interval from first to last insemination, interval from calving to conception, number of inseminations per...
متن کاملEstimates of genetic parameters for carcass traits in Finnish Ayrshire and Holstein-Friesian
The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for slaughter weight, and carcass fleshiness and fatness in Finnish Ayrshire and Holstein-Friesian bulls and heifers. Animal model, sire model and sire maternal grandsire model were tested for their suitability to evaluate young sires in progeny test. There were 38 188 records on animals slaughtered in two slaughter houses during a period...
متن کاملScreening of Polish Holstein-Friesian bulls towards eradication of complex vertebral malformation (CVM) carriers.
The effectiveness of a program aimed at eradicating carriers of the recessive disorder Complex Vertebral Malformation (CVM) from the population of Holstein-Friesian bulls is reported. Among 1823 bulls, 1268 young and 555 proven bulls were examined. Three hundred and three bulls appeared to be CVM carriers (16.62%). The highest number of carriers occurred in the sons of a CVM sire, 55.51% and 61...
متن کاملEstimates of genetic parameters for fertility traits of Australian Holstein-Friesian cattle
Fertility data collected on 17131 Holstein-Friesian cows from 158 dairy herds in Australia were used to estimate heritabilities for and correlations among several fertility traits using a sire model. Pregnancy rate (PR), survival (Surv), calving interval (CI), calving to first service interval (CFS), insemination rate (coded as 1 if a cow received a service or 0 otherwise) (InsemR) and first se...
