economic aspects of mature body weight and age at first calving in holstein dairy cattle of iran
the aim followed in the present study was to investigate the economic aspects of , and to derive economic weights (ews) for mature body weight (mbw) as well as for age at first calving (afc) in holstein dairy cattle of iran. economic values (evs) for traits were estimated using trait-by-trait bio-economic models. absolute evs were rls -16400 and -17900 per cow per year for mbw and afc, respecti...
متن کاملAnalysis of milk production, age at first calving, calving interval and economic parameters in dairy cattle management
The objective of this study was to evaluate main indicators of milk production on total 60 commercial dairy herds from the Czech Republic during a 9-yr period (2006-2014). Breakeven points and sensitivity analysis were used and associations of age at first calving (AFC), milk yield (MY) and calving interval (CI) were analyzed. Lowest AFC≤749 d showed the highest fertility, the lowest death rate...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Age at First Calving in Kankrej Cattle
The data of 35 years from 1980 to 2014 were analyzed to study the effect of genetic and non-genetic factors viz. period of calving, season of calving as fixed effect and sire as random effect on the reproduction trait (age at first calving) of Kankrej cattle maintained at Livestock Research Station, S.D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat. The least square mean of age at first ...
متن کاملCalving day and age at first calving in Angus heifers.
Because of difficulties in data collection and analysis, in most breeds there have been limited ways to evaluate fertility in females on a between-herd basis. The objective of this study was to determine the heritabilities (direct and maternal) for CD (calving day) and AFC (age at first calving) in American Angus heifers and to evaluate the potential for using these traits in genetic improvemen...
متن کاملGenetic correlations between heifer subsequent rebreeding and age at first calving and growth traits in Nellore cattle by Bayesian inference.
We estimated heritability for subsequent rebreeding (SR) of heifers and genetic correlations between this trait and weaning weight (WW), weight gain from weaning to yearling (WG), age at first calving (AFC), and mature cow weight (MW), in order to evaluate whether SR could be included as selection criterion in Nellore cattle. The SR of heifers was defined by attributing a value of 1 (success) o...
