“…Production levels for both Fleckvieh and Braunvieh genotypes are consistent with those previously reported by Anton et al [13] and Pilarczyk et al [14] for dual-purpose European breeds. However, given the better performance of the Fleckvieh breed (+353.5 kg) we could estimate that on identical housing and feeding conditions, the farm returns are higher with 91.55 EUR/year/cow, compared to Braunvieh cows (0.259 EUR/kg of milk) [15].…”

ObjectiveAim of the current comparative study was to evaluate production outputs, reproduction efficiency and functional traits in dual-purpose Fleckvieh and Braunvieh cows, reared under temperate European conditions.MethodsA data-set from 414 Fleckvieh and 42 Braunvieh cows and 799 lactations was analysed. ID tag number, milk yield per milking session, number of steps/interval and milk conductivity were recorded and collected daily using AfiMilk 3.076 A-DU software (Afimilk Ltd., Kibbutz, Israel). Production and milk quality data were taken from the results of the official performance recordings and the reproductive outputs of cows were recorded by the research stations veterinarians. Comparisons between the two genotypes were carried out using the one way analysis of variance protocol, with categorical factor being considered the breed of cows. All the statistical inferences were carried out using Statistica software (StatSoft Inc., Tulsa, OK, USA).ResultsFleckvieh cows significantly outperformed (p≤0.05) the Braunvieh herd, with average milk yields of 5,252.1±35.79 kg and 4,897.6±128.94 kg, respectively. Age at first calving was significantly (p≤0.01) influenced by the breed, with Fleckvieh heifers being more precocious (32.8±0.29 mo) compared to those of Braunvieh breed (35.7±0.84 mo). Reproduction efficiency as defined by the number of inseminations per gestation, calving interval, dystocia, days dry and days open, was not influenced by genotype (p>0.05). Incidences of sub-clinical mastitis, clinical mastitis, lameness and abortions were not influenced by the breed factor (p>0.05). Stayability of cows was significantly (p≤0.001) influenced by genotype, with Braunvieh cows having an average age at culling of 117.88±11.78 months compared to 90.88±2.89 months in Fleckvieh.ConclusionOverall, results have shown that genotype significantly influenced milk yield, age at first calving and longevity.

“…Values concerning the effect of different TG genotypes of bulls on the fat content of LD are similar to our previous results obtained in Hungarian beef cattle (Anton et al, 2008). Distribution of the presented leptin genotype frequency values correspond to those obtained by Nkrumah et al (2005).…”

“…addition, the C allele had trend to increase marbling score trait. Anton et al (2012) reported that homozygote CC animals in the TG/BstYI gene had the highest of milk yield than other genotype animals in Jersey and Hungarian Simmental populations (P<0.05). Bonilla et al (2010) reported that homozygote CC animals in the TG/BstYI gene of Mexican beef population had lowest of intramuscular fat content (IMF) than heterozygote animals (P<0.05).…”

The Thyroglobulin (TG) and Leptin (LEP) genes are two candidate genes that widely used for molecular selection to improve carcass traits in beef cattle. This research was carried out to identify the genetic characterization of TG and LEP genes from 47 heads of Pasundan cows at West Java using PCR-RFLP method. Research shows that TG gene of Pasundan cattle is monomorphic with C allele as the dominant allele (1.00). However, LEP gene of Pasundan cattle is polymorphic with C allele as the dominant allele (0.98) and T as the rare allele (0.02). The polymorphic informative content (PIC) and numberof effective allele (ne) values in the LEP gene in the animal studied were 0.04 and 1.04 respectively. It was concluded that TG/BstYI and LEP/Sau3AI gene in the present study can not be used as molecular selection in Pasundan cattle. These results are important as the basic information for preparing the molecular selection program in the future.
