Valuation of Genomic-Enhanced Expected Progeny Differences in Bull Purchasing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract We estimate a hedonic pricing model to determine producers’ value for bull expected progeny differences (EPDs), genomic-enhanced EPDs, and phenotypic traits. Birth weight EPD, ribeye area sale weight, age, frame score, other factors had statistically significant impact on prices. GE-EPDs were not associated with change in the sales prices expect weaned calf birth EPDs. Including provides unique contribution. The results from this work will inform educational programming purchasers using new economic selection indices GE-EPDs.

متن کاملEffect of bull performance on progeny early growth and genetic relationships between bull and progeny traits
Records on four bulls and 96 of their progeny born from 2005 to 2011 with pedigree information were used to estimate the impact of bull performance on progeny early growth and the genetic relationships between traits of bull and their progeny. Traits included in this study were metabolic body weight, feed intake and residual feed intake (RFI) for bull performance and birth weight and average da...
متن کاملExpected Progeny Difference (EPD) in Beef Cattle
The first performance records of beef cattle were primarily weights or weight gains measured at weaning or yearling ages. Sound comparisons of individuals were often impossible because of sources of variation, such as age, sex, age of dam, and management conditions. Although standard adjustments were developed to account for some of these variations, this was not always possible, especially for...
متن کاملUse of expected progeny differences for marbling in beef: II. Carcass and palatability traits.
A 2-yr study was conducted to determine the effect of EPD for marbling on marbling score, palatability traits, and carcass fatness in beef. Steer (n = 122) and heifer (n = 123) carcasses were obtained by mating Angus bulls having a high ( > .4) or low ( < -.16) EPD for marbling to MARC II cows (1/4 Angus, 1/4 Hereford, 1/4 Simmental, and 1/4 Gelbvieh). Carcass traits, composition of primals, qu...
متن کاملUse of expected progeny differences for marbling in beef: I. Production traits.
Six Angus bulls with HIGH ( > .4) and six bulls with LOW ( < -.16) expected progeny differences (EPD) for marbling were used to evaluate the impact of marbling on progeny production and carcass traits. Bulls were randomly bred to MARC II (1/4 Hereford, 1/4 Simmental, 1/4 Angus, 1/4 Gelbvieh) composite cows in each of 2 yr to calve in the spring. At weaning, steers and heifers were separated and...
