Inbreeding in Danish dairy cattle breeds.
The purpose of this study was to monitor current and predict future rates of inbreeding in the Danish dairy breeds. Calves born from 1999 until 2003 and registered as Danish Holstein (1,883,983), Danish Jersey (336,966), or Danish Red (261,047) were reference populations. Average complete generation equivalent was approximately 7. For calves born in 2003, average inbreeding was 3.9, 3.4, and 1....
متن کاملInbreeding in Dairy Cattle
Inbreeding is defined as half of the genetic relationship between an animal’s parents. For example, the offspring from a mating of animals A and B, which have the same father, will have 12.5 percent inbreeding, because the genetic relationship between A and B is 25 percent. Statistical methods to select the best sires of each generation have been developed, making it feasible to achieve any pos...
متن کاملGenomic inbreeding estimation in small populations: evaluation of runs of homozygosity in three local dairy cattle breeds.
In the local breeds with small population size, one of the most important problems is the increase of inbreeding coefficient (F). High levels of inbreeding lead to reduced genetic diversity and inbreeding depression. The availability of high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays has facilitated the quantification of F by genomic markers in farm animals. Runs of homozygosity (ROH) ...
متن کاملControlling inbreeding in dairy cattle using genomic data
Inbreeding depression is the reduction in fitness in offspring resulting from mating individuals that share at least one common ancestor. The objective was to compare the effect of genome-wide and location specific homozygosity on fertility and milk production traits in dairy cattle. Pedigree inbreeding was compared with genomic inbreeding which is the realised proportion of the genome that is ...
متن کاملIncreasing prevalence of Coxiella burnetii seropositive Danish dairy cattle herds
A study based on bulk tank milk samples from 120 randomly selected dairy cattle herds was conducted to estimate the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii seropositive dairy herds, to describe the geographical distribution, and to identify risk factors. Using the CHEKIT Q-fever Antibody ELISA Test Kit (IDEXX), the study revealed a prevalence of 79.2% seropositive herds, 18.3% seronegative herds, and 2...
