Evaluating the Breeding Soundness of Beef Bulls
Evaluating breeding soundness of bulls is an often neglected management practice. Producers may incorrectly believe that bulls that have previously proven fertile are of sound breeding value for the rest of their lives. They may also assume that new bulls are reproductively sound simply because of some vague or implied guarantee by the seller. Unfortunately, neither assumption is correct. Bulls...
متن کاملAssociation between DGAT1 Genotype and Breeding Value of Milk Production Traits in Iranian Holstein Bulls
The aim of this study was to test the genotypes effect of DGAT1 gene on breeding value in Iranian Holstein milk production traits. For this purpose, 103 semen samples of registered bulls were collected and then genotyped for partial region of DGAT1 gene. The studied traits were milk yield (MY), fat yield (FY), protein yield (PY), fat percentage (FP) and protein percentage (PP). First lactation ...
متن کاملBull Power: Examination of Beef Cattle Bulls for Breeding Soundness
T evaluation of bulls for breeding soundness is an effective and reliable way to identify bulls that are potentially poor breeders. This management technique can be used to greatest advantage if culling occurs before bulls are turned out with females. Also, the evaluation is an important means available to the producer for predicting bulls with satisfactory to excellent potential. This informat...
متن کاملBreeding Soundness Evaluation for Beef and Dairy Bulls - FSA-3046
The breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) is a practical method to identify bulls with less than satis factory breeding potential. This evalu ation should be conducted on every bull at least 30 to 60 days before each breeding season to allow enough time for replacement of deferred or unsatis factory bulls. The first step in a BSE is to select a veterinarian in your area who is competent in con...
متن کاملEstimating Breeding Value of Agronomic Traits in Oriental Tobacco Genotypes under Broomrape Stress and Normal Conditions
In a breeding program, it is important to find out information about the genes action, because knowledge in this field could help the researchers in their crossing programs and realizing effective selection. In this study, breeding values of different agronomic traits in oriental tobacco were predicted using the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) procedure. For this purpose, 89 tobacco geno...
