“…Setiyabudi et al (2016) obtained the high category of r value for BW in Bali cattle at BPTU-HPT Denpasar (0.99) and higher than in this study. High r value for BW was reported in Friesian Holstein (0.34), Aceh (0.36), and Madura cows (0.46) (Bakir et al, 2004;Putra et al, 2014;Tribudi and Prihandini, 2019). Meanwhile, moderate r value (0.10<r<0.30) for BW was showed in Red Sindhi (0.17), Friesian Holstein (0.21), Jersey (0.13), Sumba Ongole (0.10) and Friesian cross (0.30) cows (Mustafa et al, 2002;Aksakal and Bayram, 2009;Nandolo, 2015;Said et al, 2016;Islam et al, 2017).…”

“…In this study, two records data of birth weight and calving interval were used to select Bali cattle in West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) province. Previous studies reported that BW of calves can be used as the selection criteria to select the best cattle (Bakir et al, 2004;Putra et al, 2015;Said et al, 2016). Moreover, the genetic correlation (rg) between birth and weaning weights in cattle were included of moderate to high categories (rg > 0.50) such as Brangus (0.78), Fogera (0.60) and 0.87 for Sumba Ongole (Neser et al, 2012;Bekele et al, 2016;Putra et al, 2018).…”

Birth weight and calving interval are included of productivity traits that can be increased by selection program. However, the standard of desirable birth weight in cattle during the selection program is important to prevent dystocia incident risk. This study was aimed to select Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) based on Estimated Breeding Value of birth weight (EBVBW) and Most Probable Producing Ability of birth weight (MPPABW) and calving interval (MPPACI). Total of 758 records data of BW were collected from Lombok and Sumbawa islands, West Nusa Tenggara Province. Research showed the average of BW in Bali calves were 15.69±1.70 kg (Lombok) and 13.49±1.89 (Sumbawa). The average of CI in Bali cows at both islands were about 385 days. In addition, the heritability (h2) values of BW in both islands was about 0.90. The repeatability (r) values of BW in both islands were about 0.30. Meanwhile, the r value of CI in Sumbawa island was 0.39. The highest of EBVBW for sire was +4.25 kg by bull’s ID: 0838 (Sumbawa). Meanwhile, the highest of EBVBW for calves was +6.07 kg by calf’s ID: 0917 (Sumbawa). The highest of MPPABW was +2.67 kg by cow’s ID: 0872 (Sumbawa). The lowest of MPPACI was -25.70 days by cow’s ID: 02076 (Lombok).

“…However, higher estimates of heritability for birth weight were reported by Plasse et al (2002a) and Plasse et al (2002b). Lower estimates of heritability for birth weight were observed by Khan et al (1999), Jain et al (2000, Bakir et al (2004) and Manoj (2010).…”

The significance of sire selection in the herd is reflected by the total genetic gain through sire-to-sire and sireto- dam pathways contributing greater than 50% contribution. The present investigation was carried out to estimate genetic parameters of males of Tharparkar (TP) and Karan-Fries (KF) cattle. Data on body weights of Tharparkar and Karan Fries males born during the period 199-2012 at ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute (ICAR-NDRI), Karnal, India were utilized in the present study. The genetic and phenotypic correlations among different body weights were estimated from the analysis of variance and covariance among sire groups. Paternal half-sib correlation method was used to estimate heritability of growth traits. Heritability estimates in KF were found to be of moderate to high magnitude, as 0.23±0.06, 0.43±0.10, 0.28±0.10, 0.36±0.11, 0.39±0.12, 0.38±0.14, 0.27±0.19 for weight at birth and weight at monthly interval up to six months, respectively. Genetic and phenotypic correlations were found to vary from moderate to high among the traits. Our study revealed that the magnitude of heritability indicates a high scope of further improvement in Karan Fries. Selective breeding and positive genetic correlations should be considered while designing selection programs.

“…Soydan ( 2018) indicated that such high male calves BW resulted probably from the male gender anabolic hormones effects (Uzmay et al 2010) during the prenatal growth stages of calves which usually possess longer GPL than females. Controversially , Bakır et al (2004b), Kaygısız and Tümer (2007)…”

A total of 4889 birth weight (BW) records on calves of 1609 Friesian cows in Sakha experimental farm were collected between 1975 and 2020 year. The analytical model included the fixed effects of the parity, calving year and season, age at first calving, gestation period length and calf sex. Variance components, heritabilities, direct maternal correlations and breeding values (BV) were estimated using VCE6 program. Genetic trends of calves BW were evaluated by regressing BV on years of calving using GLM process of SAS software. Results showed highly (P≤ 0.001) significant effects of all studied fixed effects on BW. Direct (h 2 a), sire (h 2 s), maternal (h 2 m) and total (h 2 t) heritabilities and direct maternal correlations (ram) estimates were 0.01, 0.10, 0.05, 0.09 and 0.01, respectively. Estimated BVs of calves, sires and dams ranged from -6.71 to 6.84, -6.04 to 4.38 and -7.29 to 8.86 kg, respectively. Range of BVs for dams was higher than for sires and calves, but the accuracy of calves BVs were higher than others. The genetic trend was not different from zero showing no indication of change in the genetic merit of BW in this farm during the period of study.Dam selection proved to be important for inducing high genetic progress in BW during the subsequent generation. Moreover, BV estimates of calves BW achieved higher accuracy ranging from 0.69 -0.81% comparing to those for sires and dams by indirect selection. However, improvement in calves BW may also be achieved by practicing better management programs in this herd.
