Non-genetic factor and genetic parameter analysis for growth traits in Sumba Ongole (SO) cattle

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate non-genetic factors and genetic parameters of the growth traits in Sumba Ongole (SO) cattle. The growth traits were consisted of birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), yearling weight (YW), average daily gain of pre-weaning (ADG1) and post-weaning (ADG2). Data from 143 heads of SO cattle (year 2011 to 2016) which raised at PT KAR were used in this study. Generalized Linear Model (GLM) analysis was performed to evaluate non-genetic effect including sex, year of birth, generation and season. Therefore, to evaluate genetic parameters, the heritability (h2) and genetic correlation (rg ) were performed using Paternal Halfshib Correlation method. The results showed that sex of calf had no significant effect (P>0.05) on BW, WW and YW, but year of birth had significant effect on those traits. The factor of season had significant effect on WW. The estimation of h2 values of growth traits were included high category (h2>0.30) and accurate (h2>SE) on BW (0.66±0.42), WW (0.65±0.44), YW (0.67±0.42), ADG1 (0.68±0.45) and ADG2 (0.70±0.43). The estimation of rg values were included high category (rg>0.50) and accurate (rg>SE) on BW-WW (0.87±0.63); BW-YW (0.95±0.87); ADG1-WW (0.99±0.34); WW-YW (0.98±0.48) and ADG1-YW (0.95±0.51). It was concluded that trait of WW could be used as selection criteria to increase YW trait in SO cattle.

Selection of Bali cattle based on birth weight and calving interval records at West Nusa Tenggara Province of Indonesia

“…The h 2 value of BW in Bali cattle at WNT province was included of high category (h 2 >0.30) with low of SE value. High category of h 2 value for BW was showed in Red Chittagong (0.50), Horro (0.62), Nellore (0.37), Bali (0.85), Brahman (Afroz et al, 2011;Abera et al, 2013;Regatieri et al, 2012;Kaswati et al, 2013;Rakwadi et al, 2014;Rahman et al, 2015;Putra et al, 2018). Moderate of h 2 value (0.10 < h 2 < 0.30) for BW was showed in Vrindavani (0.29), Tuli (0.21), Charolais (0.23) and Ongole cross (0.28) cattle (Singh et al, 2010;Rakwadi et al, 2014;Vostry et al, 2015;Hartati et al, 2015).…”

“…Factor of sex, year, parity and season also affect to BW in other Indonesian Ongole cross cattle (Hartati et al, 2015). Meanwhile, Putra et al (2018) reported that two factors of year and season were affected of BW in Sumba Ongole cattle. According to the previous studies, the BW of Bali calves in Bali island was highest than in two islands at 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). Hence, the birth weight can be used as the selection criteria to increase weaning weight.…”

Polymorphism of Bovine Growth Hormone Receptor Gene (g.3338A>G) and Its Association with Body Measurements and Body Weight in Pasundan Cows

“…Body measurements of heart girth had high correlation value with body weight (Kashoma et al, 2011;Serkan & Bozkurt, 2009;Alsiddiq et al, 2010). In cattle, the high heritability (h 2 ) value were reported in heart girth (Khan et al, 2016) and body weight (Putra et al, 2014;Gunawan & Jakaria, 2011;Kaswati et al, 2013;Hartati et al, 2015;Putra et al, 2018). High h 2 value in both traits reveals that these traits can be increased through selection program.…”

Effect of Urea in Total Mixed Ration and its Silage on Friesian Holstein Bull Calves Productivity in Tropic Condition

“…

Holstein (FH) male calves could be used as a potential meat source due to the higher average daily gain (ADG) compared to Indonesian local cattle like Ongole crossbreed (0.86 to 0.92 kg head -1 day -1 vs 0.33 to 0.64 kg head -1 day -1 ; (Putra et al, 2018). But in Abstract | Urea addition into feed to some extent has been shown to increase crude protein content and improve feed efficiency.
