Dairy Cattle-selection, Feeding and Management
ORGANIC ANALYTICAL REAGENTS By JOHN H. YOE, Professor of Chemistry, University of Virginia, and LANDON A. BARVER, Director of Research, American Viscose Corporation. A comprehensive treatise on organic analytical reagents. It represents probably the first attempt to collect in one volume the data hitherto scattered throughout the literature. A glossary of reagents is included, and a bibliograph...
متن کاملGenetic 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 کاملTrace Mineral Requirements for Dairy Cattle
A host of nutrients are needed by cattle to support functions associated with life, and to grow, reproduce, and nourish their offspring (i.e., produce milk). A vast amount of resources have been expended to quantify the amounts of specific nutrients needed to perform these function so that economically efficient diets can be formulated. Feeding diets that provide adequate, but not excessive, am...
متن کاملGenetic parameters for growth traits of Australian beef cattle from a multibreed selection experiment.
Estimates of covariance components and genetic parameters were obtained for birth, weaning, 200-d, and 400-d weight for a herd of Polled Herefords and a herd of a multibreed synthetics, the so-called Wokalups. Data originated from an experiment in Western Australia selecting for preweaning growth rate. Analyses were carried out by REML fitting an animal model including genetic and permanent env...
متن کاملGenotyping strategies for genomic selection in small dairy cattle populations.
This study evaluated different female-selective genotyping strategies to increase the predictive accuracy of genomic breeding values (GBVs) in populations that have a limited number of sires with a large number of progeny. A simulated dairy population was utilized to address the aims of the study. The following selection strategies were used: random selection, two-tailed selection by yield devi...
