Milk yield of primiparous beef cows from three calving systems and varied weaning ages.
Primiparous beef cows produced in 3 calving systems were used in a 2-yr study with a completely random design to measure milk yield throughout a 190-d lactation (2002, n = 20; 2003, n = 24 per calving system). Calving occurred in late winter (average calving date = February 4 +/- 2 d), early spring (average calving date = March 30 +/- 2 d), and late spring (average calving date = May 26 +/- 1 d...
متن کاملThe Effect of Age at First Calving and Calving Interval on Productive Life and Lifetime Profit in Korean Holsteins
This study was performed to estimate the effect of age at first calving and first two calving intervals on productive life and life time profit in Korean Holsteins. Reproduction data of Korean Holsteins born from 1998 to 2004 and lactation data from 276,573 cows with birth and last dry date that calved between 2000 and 2010 were used for the analysis. Lifetime profit increased with the days of ...
متن کاملHolsteins are the genomic selection poster cows.
Genomic selection (GS) is the process by which the genetic improvement of plants or animals is accomplished using the genomic prediction (GP) of additive genetic merits [known as genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs)] of selection candidates. Alternative statistical models for GP were first described in 2001 by Meuwissen et al. (1), who used simulation to evaluate the performance of linear ...
متن کاملGenetic parameters of calving ease using sire-maternal grandsire model in Korean Holsteins
OBJECTIVE Calving ease (CE) is a complex reproductive trait of economic importance in dairy cattle. This study was aimed to investigate the genetic merits of CE for Holsteins in Korea. METHODS A total of 297,614 field records of CE, from 2000 to 2015, from first parity Holstein heifers were recorded initially. After necessary data pruning such as age at first calving (18 to 42 mo), gestation ...
متن کاملAn analysis of age and body weight at first calving for Holsteins in the United States.
In a national survey of US dairy producers, only 2.7 +/- 0.5% of Holstein dairy operations reported achieving recommended target ranges of age < or = 24 months and body weight (BW) > or = 550 kg at first calving. Allowing for wider target ranges, still only 14.6 +/- 1.3% of Holstein dairy operations reported achieving age < or = 25 months and BW > or = 544.3 kg at first calving. Ages of individ...
