Genetic evaluation and best prediction of lactation persistency.
Cows with high persistency tend to produce less milk than expected at the beginning of lactation and more than expected at the end. Best prediction of persistency was calculated as a function of a trait-specific standard lactation curve and a linear regression of test-day deviations on days in milk. Regression coefficients were deviations from a balance point to make yield and persistency pheno...
متن کاملGenetic evaluation of lactation persistency for five breeds of dairy cattle.
Cows with high lactation persistency tend to produce less milk than expected at the beginning of lactation and more than expected at the end. Best prediction of lactation persistency is calculated as a function of trait-specific standard lactation curves and linear regressions of test-day deviations on days in milk. Because regression coefficients are deviations from a tipping point selected to...
متن کاملGenetic Parameters for Milk Yield and Lactation Persistency Using Random Regression Models in Girolando Cattle
A total of 32,817 test-day milk yield (TDMY) records of the first lactation of 4,056 Girolando cows daughters of 276 sires, collected from 118 herds between 2000 and 2011 were utilized to estimate the genetic parameters for TDMY via random regression models (RRM) using Legendre's polynomial functions whose orders varied from 3 to 5. In addition, nine measures of persistency in milk yield (PSi) ...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of lactation persistency in the Polish Holstein-Friesian cows*
The objectives of this study were to analyze the genetic properties of three measures of lactation persistency in Polish Holstein-Friesian cows, and possibly to choose one measure which could be used for estimation of breeding value for lactation persistency in the Polish dairy cattle population. Data included 117,327 first three lactations of 110,141 cows calved in 1995-2009. The lactation cur...
متن کاملMammary apoptosis and lactation persistency in dairy animals.
The decline in milk yield after peak lactation in dairy animals has long been a biological conundrum for the mammary biologist, as well as a cause of considerable lost income for the dairy farmer. Recent advances in understanding the control of the mammary cell population now offer new insights on the former, and a potential means of alleviating the latter. The weight of evidence now indicates ...
