An Optimum Regression Model to Estimate Economic Values for Milk Yield, Milk Yield Persistency and Calving Interval in Dairy Cattle
Emphasis on milk yield (MY) as well as milk yield persistency (MYP) and calving interval (CI) is necessary to achieve more sustainable productionin dairy cattle. Therefore the main objective of this study was to find an optimum regression model to estimate economic values for MY, MYP and CI.Using a deterministic bio-economic model, seventyfiveproduction states differing mainly in MY, MYPand CIw...
متن کاملUse of principal component approach to predict direct genomic breeding values for beef traits in Italian Simmental cattle.
In the current study, principal component (PC) analysis was used to reduce the number of predictors in the estimation of direct genomic breeding values (DGV) for meat traits in a sample of 479 Italian Simmental bulls. Single nucleotide polymorphism marker genotypes were determined with the 54K Illumina beadchip. After edits, 457 bulls and 40,179 SNP were retained. Principal component extraction...
متن کاملG enetic relationships between calving date, calving interval, age at first calving and type traits in beef cattle
In this paper the genetic relationships between major reproductive traits in beef cattle (Calving Date, Calving Interval and Age at First Calving) and type traits have been estimated to evaluate the usefulness of type classification in predicting reproductive performance in beef cattle. We estimated favourable genetic correlations between Calving Interval and type traits ranging from 2 0.027 to...
متن کاملReducing Calving Difficulty in Simmental
Many factors contributed by calf, dam and sire are associated with CD and many of these are interrelated. Deutscher (1988) came to the conclusion that "the primary cause of CD in young cows is due to a disproportion between size of calf (birth weight) and size of birth canal (pelvic size) of the cow." The relationship of these two factors are presented in the figure below quoted by Deutscher (1...
متن کاملGenetic relationships between calving interval and linear type traits in South African Holstein and Jersey cattle
Genetic correlations between first calving interval (CI) and linear type traits in South African Holstein and Jersey cattle were estimated to assess the possibility of using type information as selection criteria for CI. All linear type traits routinely evaluated under the National Genetic Evaluation Programme (18 for Jersey and 17 for Holstein) were considered. Data were obtained from the Nati...
