Genetic Parameters for Yield Traits of Holsteins, Including Lactose and Somatic Cell Score

Abstract: First lactation milk, fat, protein, and lactose yields and percentage yields were analyzed using a multiple-trait sire model including herd-year-season, sire group, and age of cow as fixed effects. Somatic cell score was fit both as a fixed effect in the model and as an additional dependent variable in two analyses with almost identical results. Variance components were estimated using REML with an expectation-maximization algorithm including sire relationships. Lactose means ranged from 4.84 to 4.97% across t… Show more

“…If short subsequent lactations are unrelated to dry days, then they will occur randomly across dry periods and cause no bias in the analyses (Kuhn et al, 2005b). Given the high phenotypic correlation of milk yield with both fat and protein yield (Welper & Freeman, 1992), it is likely that actual lactational records would be more informative for fat and protein yield as well. Since dairy producers are paid for actual yield rather than standardized yields, effects of dry days on actual yields should be ascertained (Kuhn et al, 2006).…”

“…Segundo Reneau (1986), isso indica que, à medida que as vacas envelhecem, aumenta a oportunidade de exposição a agentes causadores de mastite, com tendência Tabela 1 -Resumo da análise de variância da produção de leite até 305 dias (P305) e da média dos escores de células somáticas (MECS) pelo método de quadrados mínimos A herdabilidade estimada para a P305 foi de 0,22 em ambas as análises uni e bivariada. Es ta estimativa corrobora os resultados da literatura para a raça Holandesa, cujos valores tem variado de 0,17 a 0,39 (Meyer et al, 1989;Boettcher et al, 1992;Welter & Freeman, 1992;Gadini et al, 1997;Machado, 1999;Freitas et al, 2001;Ferreira et al, 2003).…”

“…O resultado observado neste estudo diferiu da maioria dos encontrados na literatura, em que as correlações são positivas e próximas de 0,20 (Emanuelson et al, 1988;Boettcher et al, 1992;Welter & Freeman, 1992;Gadini et al, 1997;Rupp & Boichard, 1999;Carlen et al, 2004). Contudo, em estudos onde as correlações foram estimadas a partir de conjuntos de dados de primeiras, segundas e terceiras lactações separadamente, houve tendência de correlações positivas na primeira lactação e negativas ou próximas de zero nas lactações subseqüentes (Banos & Shook, 1990 ;Pösö & Mäntysaari, 1996;Koivula et al, 2005).…”
