Multiple-trait multiple-country genetic evaluations for udder health traits.
International genetic bull evaluations of somatic cell counts (SCC) from 8 different Holstein populations and clinical mastitis from 3 of these populations were inferred simultaneously using a multiple-trait-multiple-country evaluation (MT-MACE) model. This model considered effective independent weighting factors and multivariately deregressed national genetic evaluations for countries with mul...
متن کاملRelationship between udder and leg hygiene scores and subclinical mastitis.
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between udder and leg hygiene scores of lactating dairy cattle and measures of subclinical mastitis. Study animals (n = 1250) consisted of lactating dairy cows from eight commercial dairy farms. Herds were enrolled during December 2000 and January 2001 and were visited bimonthly for a total of five visits per herd. Udder and leg hygi...
متن کاملUdder edema and association with some serum biochemical measurands and dietary factors in first calving cows
The aims of this study were to determine some major biochemical alterations observed in first calving cows with udder edema during the periparturient period and to detect some associations between dietary factors and the disease. For that, the concentrations of some electrolytes (Na+, K+, Cl, Ca2+, P and Mg2+), lipid (triglycerides and cholesterol) markers and lipoproteins (HDL, LDL and VLDL) a...
متن کاملGenetic Improvement of Udder Health
Susceptibility to mastitis is in part determined by genetics. Opportunities exist for genetic improvement of resistance to mastitis but currently available means for genetic selection are limited and focus mainly on EBV for SCC and, in countries with health recording, on EBV for clinical mastitis. Further opportunities exist to incorporate available EBV for udder conformation and milking speed ...
متن کاملOn-farm udder health monitoring.
In this article an on-farm monitoring approach on udder health is presented. Monitoring of udder health consists of regular collection and analysis of data and of the regular evaluation of management practices. The ultimate goal is to manage critical control points in udder health management, such as hygiene, body condition, teat ends and treatments, in such a way that results (udder health par...
