Milk yield, fat yield, and fat percentage during the first three lactations were studied using New York Holsteins that were milked twice daily over a 305-d, mature equivalent lactation. Those data were used to estimate variances from direct and maternal genetic effects, cytoplasmic effects, sire by herd interaction, and cow permanent environmental effects. Cytoplasmic line was traced to the las...

in the research the genetic investigation productive and reproductive traits and changes trend the traits in years, seasons and different lactation periods and genetic evaluation cows and bulls of 785 records for milk and 665 records for fat yield and reproductive information during years 1998 to 2003 of 207 dairy cows ghezlagh farm aboureyhan campus (university of tehran) studied. the least sq...

an experiment was conducted in early lactating buffaloes for the period of 3 months in jadakheria and polisimal village of limkhedataluka in dahod district of gujarat to assess the effect of supplementation of bypass fat on milk production, composition, body weight change and economic efficiency. forty buffaloes in their 2nd and 3rd lactation were equally divided in completely randomized design...

Nutrition has a significant effect on reproduction and lactation in Ruminant. Supply of require nutrient of dairy cows and ewes in early lactation is the main challenges that will be considered, since in most cases the animals facing negative energy balance after calving and the beginning of the period of lactation. Negative energy balance may sometimes result in reduced livestock production an...

The objective of this study was to evaluate production response and more specifically percentage and yield of fat in milk from dairy cows fed distillers grains with added solubles (DGS). It was hypothesized that the oil present in DGS would decrease milk fat yield. Four dietary treatments consisted of dried DGS replacing soybean meal and soybean hulls. The DGS inclusion rates as a percentage of...

Ten lactating multiparous Holstein cows were used in a cross-over design with two dietary treatments and 28-d periods (with 14 d as an adaptation) to study the effect of restaurant fat on milk production and composition. Each cow was offered 14.7 kg DM /d of the basal concentrate diet based on barley and corn (crude protein = 17.7%, neutral detergent fiber = 23.5%, and acid detergent fiber = 5....

Studies with different populations are required to properly characterize the robustness of associations of polymorphisms in candidate genes with economically important traits across beef cattle populations before this sort of genetic information can be used efficiently in breeding and management decisions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of previously reported SNP in...
