Genetic parameters of lifetime performance traits in Holstein cows

V.P.S. Chauhan; J.F. Hayes; L.K. Jairath

SUMMARY Heritabilities, genetic and phenotypic correlations among lifetime yields of milk, fat and protein, herdlife, productive life and number of lactations initiated in the herd were estimated from records of 44,933 progeny of 427 young and 119 proven Holstein sires in 1949 herds using a multivariate Reml technique to fit a sire model with relationships among young sires. Proven sires were fitted as fixed effects. Heritabilities of lifetime traits ranged from 0.005 to 0.030, suggesting little scope for direct selection for lifetime performance traits. Productive life had highest genetic correlation with lifetime fat yield (0.934), but correlations with lifetime milk and protein yields were smaller and similar (0.773 and 0.772). The number of lactations also had highest genetic correlation with lifetime fat yield. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Genetische Parameter von Lebensleistungsmerkmalen bei Holsteinkühen Heritabilitätswerte, genetische und phänotypische Korrelationen zwischen Lebensleistungsmerkmalen für Milch, Fett und Protein, Lebensdauer, produktive Zeit und Zahl Laktationen wurden won 44933 Nachkommen von 427 jungen und 119 nachkommenschaftsgeprüften Holsteinstieren in 1949 Herden mittels einer multivariablen REML-Technik geschätzt, die auf einem Vatertiermodell mit Verwandtschaft zwischen den jungen Stieren beruhte. Geprüfte Stiere wurden als fixe Effekte im Modell berücksichtigt. Heritabilitätswerte dieser Merkmale rangieren von 0.005 bis 0.03, so daß wenig Aussichten für Erfolg direkter Selektion auf Lebensleistungsmerkmale besteht. Die Länge des produktiven Lebens hatte die höchste genetische Korrelation mit Lebensfettmenge (0.934), aber die Korrelationen mit Milch- und Protein-Lebensleistung waren kleiner und ähnlich (0.773 und 0.772). Die Zahl der Laktationen hatte die höchste genetische Korrelation mit der Lebensfettmenge.

Relationships of first lactation yields with lifetime performance traits in Holstein cows.

V.P.S. Chauhan; J.F. Hayes

SUMMARY Genetic and phenotypic correlations between the first lactation and lifetime yields of milk, fat and protein, herdlife, productive life and number of lactations initiated in the herd were estimated from records of 24,231 progeny of 234 young and 119 proven Holstein sires in 1791 herds using a multivariate REML technique to fit a sire model with relationships among young sires. Proven sires were fitted as fixed effects. Genetic correlations between first lactation and lifetime yields were highest for milk (0.666) followed by fat (0.660) and protein (0.512). Genetic as well as phenotypic correlations of herdlife, productive life and number of lactations were higher with first lactation milk yield than with first lactation fat and protein yields. Direct selection for higher lifetime yields would not be effective because of low heritabilities. However the high, positive genetic correlations of lifetime yields of milk and fat with first lactation yields suggested that first lactation yields might be used for indirect selection for higher lifetime yields. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Beziehung zwischen Erstlaktations- und Lebensleistung bei Holstein-Kühen Zwischen Erstlaktations- und Lebensleistung für Milch, Fett, Protein, Verbleibedauer, produktiver Lebensdauer und Zahl von Laktationen in der Herde wurden von 24.291 Töchtern, 234 Jung- und 119 geprüften Holsteintieren in 1.791 Herden genetische Beziehungen geschätzt, wobei eine multivariate REML-Technik zur Analyse eines Stiermodells mit Verwandtschaft zwischen jungen Stieren angewendet worden ist. Die geprüften Stiere wurden als fixe Effekte angesehen. Genetische Korrelationen zwischen Erstlaktation und Lebensleistung war am höchsten für Milch (0,666), gefolgt von Fett (0,660) und Protein (0,512). Genetische und phänotypische Korrelationen mit Verbleibedauer, produktiver Lebensdauer und Zahl der Laktationen waren ebenfalls für Erstlaktations-milchmenge höher als bei Fett und Protein. Direkte Selektion auf höhere Lebensleistung würde wegen der niedrigen Heritabilität nicht wirksam sein. Allerdings könnten die hohen positiven genetischen Korrelationen des Merkmals mit Erstlaktationsleistungen diese als geeignetes indirektes Selektionskriterium für höhere Lebensleistung anzeigen.
