Reproductive Efficiency of Purebred and Crossbred Dairy Cattle
Nine measures related to breeding efficiency were used for comparisons among purebred Ayrshires, Brown Swiss, Holsteins, and Jerseys and between purebreds and 32 crossbred groups representing 2-breed, 3-breed, 5/8, and backcrosses by purebred sires and progeny of crossbred sires. There were four herds wi th Holsteins common to all, Brown Swiss and Jerseys in three herds and Ayrshires in one her...
متن کاملEconomic merit of crossbred and purebred US dairy cattle.
Heterosis and breed differences were estimated for milk yield traits, somatic cell score (SCS), and productive life (PL), a measure of longevity. Yield trait data were from 10,442 crossbreds and 140,421 purebreds born since 1990 in 572 herds. Productive life data were from 41,131 crossbred cows and 726,344 purebreds born from 1960 through 1991. The model for test-day yields and SCS included eff...
متن کاملFactors affecting length of herdlife in purebred and crossbred dairy cattle.
The proportional hazards model with censoring was used to assess the effects of breeding value, disease, calving, size, and udder and lactation traits on length of herdlife of 3881 heifers in five herds. Data were recorded over 10 yr from three lines: a Holstein line, an Ayrshire-based line, and a crossbred line. Influences on survival were assessed from data collected at birth, 34, 50, and 82 ...
متن کاملReproductive and testicular characteristics of purebred and crossbred boars.
Purebred Hampshire, Duroc and crossbred (H x D, D x H) boars were studied to evaluate reproductive characteristics. One hundred seventeen boars were castrated at 7Y:! months of age to evaluate testicular weights and sperm numbers. Seventy-eight additional boars were studied to evaluate conception rate and embryo numbers when mated to Yorkshire gilts. Rate of gain and backfat probe were also ava...
متن کاملReproductive performance for four breeds of swine: crossbred females and purebred and crossbred boars.
Matings and litters were studied involving all three-breed crosses (sired by purebred boars) and four-breed crosses (sired by cross-bred boars) from the Duroc, Yorkshire, Landrace and Spotted breeds. There were 764 female mating records and 161 boars used over five sequential breeding seasons. A sample of pregnant gilts was slaughtered each season and the remainder were allowed to carry their l...
