Prediction of Average Daughter Performance from Sire Proofs for Use in Linear Programming Sire Profit Models
When linear programming is used to rank sires on daughter profits, coefficients of input are required for representative daughters of each sire. Within herdyear-season regressions of daughter's actual 305-day milk, fat percent, days open, 2-min milk yield adjusted for total yield, total milking time, and body weight at birth and first calving on sire's proofs for production, conformation, milki...
متن کاملModeling nuisance variables for prediction of service sire fertility.
The purpose of this research was to determine which (available) nuisance variables should be included in a model for phenotypic evaluation of US service sire conception rate (CR), based on field data. Alternative models were compared by splitting data into records for estimation and set-aside records, computing predictions using the estimation data, and then comparing predictions to bulls' aver...
متن کاملSire Evaluation for Milking Duration
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project would not have been possible without the help of several individuals within the dairy industry. My advisor, Dr. Stan Henderson, provided the opportunity to research this project. Dr. Henderson guided me throughout the project and assisted in obtaining these data. Dr. Henderson also assisted in compiling these data and developing the manuscript. Without the help of D...
متن کاملSire Evaluation by Best Linear Unbiased Prediction for Categorically Scored Type Traits
Best linear unbiased prediction to predict category frequencies of future progeny of a sire for type traits scored in mutually exclusive categories is described. The method accounts for automatic covariances among categories and is comparable to prediction for multiple traits. The method does not require linearity of measurements and also allows nonlinear economic values to be assigned to each ...
متن کاملSire Evaluation for Economic Merit
Procedures for selecting sires are compared in terms of making maximum genetic progress in economic lnerit. A quadratic index, a simplified form of the quadratic index and a linear index to evaluate economic merit, and a restricted index to improve milk as much as possible while holding milk fat percentage constant, all result in nearly equal expected genetic progress in economic merit. Selecti...
