genetic analysis of milk yield in iranian holstein cattle by the test day model
Authors
abstract
using monthly test day records the genetic parameters of iranian holstein cattle in first lactation were studied. data of 277400 test-day milk records from 65320 cows and 2210 sires were analyzed by an animal random regression model using restricted maximum likelihood methodology. the model included herd-test-date, interaction between year-season of calving, days in milk (linear and quadratic) and dam age (linear and quadratic) as fixed effects and random regression coefficients for additive genetic and permanent environmental effects. the average of 305 days milk yield was 9760 (±1324) kilogram. differences of milk yield among provinces were significant (p

Genetic Analysis of Milk Yield in Iranian Holstein Cattle by the Test Day Model
Using monthly test day records the genetic parameters of Iranian Holstein cattle in first lactation were studied. Data of 277400 test-day milk records from 65320 cows and 2210 sires were analyzed by an animal random regression model using restricted maximum likelihood methodology.

full textDefining appropriate model for genetic analysis of milk yield in different lactations of Iranian Holstein cows
In this study, appropriate genetic co (variance) structure across ages of milk production in the Iranian Holstein cows was modeled using 35167 records originated from 1098 sires and 27236 dams. These data were collected from 110 herds during 2011 to 2015 by the Iranian Animal Breeding Center. For all lactations, birth year, birth month, calving year, calving season, calving month, age and herd ...
full textestimation of genetic parameters for milk yield using random regression test day model in iranian holstein
in this study a total of 171,360 monthly test day milk records obtained from first lactation of iranian holstein cattle (three times a day milking) distributed in 96 herds and calved from 1999 to 2008 were used to estimate genetic parameters and to predict breeding values of the animals. the data was analyzed using random regression test day model. the results showed that average of heritabilit...
full textEvaluation of Test Day Milk Yield in Iranian Primiparous Holstein Using Different Random Regression Models
Several functions were used to model fixed and random part of the lactation curve in Iranian primiparous Holstein cows using random regression analysis. Legendre polynomials of orders three and four as well as parametric lactation curve for the random part of the first lactation milk production were compared to find the best model. The models differed in fixed regression lactation curve part an...
full textAnalysis of Test Day Milk Yield by Random Regression Models and Evaluation of Persistency in Iranian Dairy Cows
Variace / covariance components of 227118 first lactaiom test-day milk yield records belonged to 31258 Iranian Holstein cows were estimated using nine random regression models. Afterwards, different measures of persistency based on estimation breeding value were evaluated. Three functions were used to adjust fixed lactation curve: Ali and Schaeffer (AS), quadratic (LE3) and cubic (LE4) order of...
full textestimation of genetic parameters for test day records of milk yield in holstein dairy cattle of iran
test day records of first lactation holstein cows from 1996 to 2008 were obtained from animal breeding center of iran and used in this research. data consisted of 872125 test-day milk records of 95816 cows from 59 herds. (co)variance components and genetic parameters were estimated using random regression model via gibbs sampling method. two order legendre polynomials and third coefficient of w...
