Economic weights of production and functional traits for Holstein‐Friesian cattle in Hungary

Abstract: A bio-economic model was used to estimate economic values of 15 milk production, functional, growth and carcass traits for Hungarian Holstein-Friesian cattle. The calculations were carried out for the situation in Hungary from 2000 to 2007, assuming no production quotas. The marginal economic values were defined as partial derivatives of the profit function with respect to each trait in a production system with dairy cow herds and with sales of surplus male calves. The economic weights for maternal and direct … Show more

“…The economic values for milk production were positive, indicating that selection for this trait would imply in economic gain for the producer. These values are consistent with those reported in other studies (Komlósi et al, 2010;Prata et al, 2015), even though, at the time when these studies were developed, the economic scenarios were different. As in the literature, the results of this study were expected, since there is still greater emphasis on payment by volume of milk produced and not quality.…”

“…They also indicated that the a M σ GM /a L σ GL values of milk yield, fat yield, and protein yield were –0.74, 1.14, and 3.37, respectively. Given that the a M σ GM /a L σ GL values of the milk yield and milk carrier have been reported to range from 1.09 to 3.2 (Alleire & Gibson, ; Fuerst‐Waltl, Fuerst, Obritzhauser, & Egger‐Dannet, ; Komlόsi et al., ), it is assumed that these values are affected by several factors. In this regard, it has been found that the a M σ GM /a L σ GL value is small if milk yield and cow depreciation costs are high, and large if herd‐life length is long (Alleire & Gibson, ; Matsuoka & Terawaki, ).…”

“…However, it is worth noting that both studies attributed more emphasis to protein than fat, as suggested by the ratio of the marginal EV for fat and protein yields obtained in our study (1:4.1) and for fat and protein percentages calculated in Krupová et al (2016;1:3.1). Some other recent European research on different cattle populations reported ratios of the marginal EV for fat and protein contents that ranged from 1:2.2 to 1:3.7 (Wolfová et al, 2007;Komlósi et al, 2010;Hietala et al, 2014). The greater emphasis on protein content was also reported in dairy sheep breeds (Krupová et al, 2009).…”
