Progeny testing and selection intensity for Holstein bulls in different countries.
International Bull Evaluation Service (Interbull) Holstein evaluations from February 1995 through February 2003 were used to determine characteristics of progeny testing for Holstein bulls in Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Sweden, The Netherlands, and the United States. The decision to graduate a bull from progeny test (PT) was assumed to have been made based o...
متن کاملoptimization of progeny testing programs for iranian holstein dairy cattle
a deterministic model was employed to simulate various progeny testing programs compatible with the conditions of holstein dairy cattle population in iran. in simulated programs, the selection intensity of bulls was increased by increasing the ratio of cow population in mate with young bulls. selection accuracy in the programs was fixed because of the fixed progeny group. economic efficiency (t...
متن کاملSelection of Sahiwal Cattle Bulls on Pedigree and Progeny
The objective of the study was to compare ranking of Sahiwal bulls selected on the basis of highest lactation milk yield of their dams with their estimated breeding values (EBVs) using an animal model. Data on 23,761 lactation milk yield records of 5,936 cows from five main Livestock Experiment Stations in Punjab province of Pakistan (1964-2004) were used for the study. At present the young A.I...
متن کاملEffects of selection for ultrasound intramuscular fat percentage in Angus bulls on carcass traits of progeny.
Angus bulls (n = 20) from three pure-bred herds in Georgia were acquired to determine the impact of selecting sires based on phenotypic yearling ultrasound intramuscular fat percentage (UIMF) or UIMF EPD on marbling score of steer progeny. Each year in each herd, pairs of bulls were selected to create large differences based on their age adjusted phenotypic yearling UIMF measurements. The avera...
متن کاملPolymorphism and Sequencing of DGAT1 Gene in Iranian Holstein Bulls
Quantitative traits locus for milk production traits has been described on centromeric end of bovine chromosome 14. Reports name the acyl coA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1) gene as a potential candidate gene with dinucleotide substitution (AA to GC) in exon VIII which causes the change of lysine to alanine in amino acid (K232A).The aim of the present study was to estimate the frequency...
