Estimation of Genetic Trends for Test-Day Milk Yield by the Logarithmic Form of Wood Function Using a Random Regression Model
Estimation of genetic trends is necessary to monitor and evaluate selection programs. The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic trends for milk yield in Iranian Holsteins cows using random regression test day model. Data set was consisted of 743205 test-day records from 1991 to 2008, which were collected by the Animal Breeding Centre of Iran. Breeding, environmental and phenotypic...
متن کاملestimation 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...
متن کاملAn Optimum Regression Model to Estimate Economic Values for Milk Yield, Milk Yield Persistency and Calving Interval in Dairy Cattle
Emphasis on milk yield (MY) as well as milk yield persistency (MYP) and calving interval (CI) is necessary to achieve more sustainable productionin dairy cattle. Therefore the main objective of this study was to find an optimum regression model to estimate economic values for MY, MYP and CI.Using a deterministic bio-economic model, seventyfiveproduction states differing mainly in MY, MYPand CIw...
متن کاملA Random Regression Analysis of Sow Lactation Feed Intake and the Effect of Temperature on Intake
Lactation feed intake (LFI) has only recently been considered as a possible selection criterion to assist in tackling the issue of sow longevity. It has been postulated that adequate LFI is needed to maintain sow body condition and development and to provide for suckling offspring. Hermesch and Jones (2007) showed that, on average, primiparous sows eating <3.5kg/day during lactation were signif...
متن کاملRandom regression models using different functions to model test-day milk yield of Brazilian Holstein cows.
We analyzed 152,145 test-day records from 7317 first lactations of Holstein cows recorded from 1995 to 2003. Our objective was to model variations in test-day milk yield during the first lactation of Holstein cows by random regression model (RRM), using various functions in order to obtain adequate and parsimonious models for the estimation of genetic parameters. Test-day milk yields were...
