Association between growth rates, age at first calving and subsequent fertility, milk production and survival in Holstein-Friesian heifers
Age at first calving (AFC) affects the profitability of dairy enterprises. This study examined the relationships between AFC and subsequent fertility, milk production and survival up to third calving in UK Holstein-Friesian heifers; Study 1 comprised 134 consecutively born heifers from the same herd (AFC 764 ± 8 days) and Study 2 contained 445 heifers born on 17 farms (AFC 796 ± 6 days). Growth...
متن کاملGenetic Parameter Estimates for Lactation Curve Parameters, Milk Yield, Age at First Calving, Calving Interval and Somatic Cell Count in Holstein Cows
The objective of this study was to estimates the genetic and environmental components for the lactation curve parameters, milk yield, age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI) and somatic cell count (SCC) in Iranian Holstein cows. The dataset consisted of 210625 test day records from 25883 cows with milk yield in the first parity recorded from July 2002 to September 2007 in a total of 9...
متن کاملGenetic Relationship between Milk Production, Calving Ease and Days Open at First Parity in Holstein Cows
Data containing 14,188 lactation and reproductive records of Korean Holstein cows at first parity distributed across 3,734 herd-year-season groups were analyzed to get genetic (co)variance estimates for milk yield, fat yield, calving ease, and days open. Milk and Fat yields were adjusted to 305 d. Heritabilities and genetic correlations were estimated in two different animal models on which wer...
متن کاملGenetic and phenotypic trends for age at first calving and milk yield and compositions in Holstein dairy cows
Calving records from the Animal Breeding Center of Iran collected from January 1990 to December 2007 and comprising 207 106 first calving events of Holsteins from 2 506 herds were analysed using linear sire models to estimate genetic trends for age at first calving (AFC) and milk traits. Genetic trends were obtained by regressing yearly mean estimates of breeding values on year of birth. In gen...
متن کاملAssociation of LEPR gene Polymorphism with milk yield and age at first calv-ing in the Iranian Holstein dairy cows
The LEPR is a glycoprotein expressed mainly in hypothalamus, where it takes part in energy homeostasis and in regulation of the activity of the secretory organs. A transition mutation in this gene results in substitution of cytosine by thymine leading to the substitution of threonine by methionine in the intracellular domain of the LEPR-b isoform. This study investigated the impact of polymorph...
