Download or read book Genetic Relationships for Milk and Fat Yields Between Brazilian and United States Holstein Cattle Populations written by Claudio Napolis Costa and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic relationships between Brazilian and U.S.A. Holstein cattle populations were studies using firstlactation 305-d ME milk and fat records of 29,413 daughters of 705 sires in Brazil and 726,932 daughters of 701 sires in the U.S.A. There were 358 sires with daughter records in both countries. Data sets consisted of all herds and low and high herds stratified by within-year standar deviation for milk (HYSD) computed within counthin country. Components of (co) variance, heritability, and genetic correlations for milk and fat yields were estimated using three data groupings: all, low and high HYDS data sets form within-country and between-country bivariete and multivariate analyses, simutaneous milk and fat yields in both countries. A sire model was solved with a restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) derivative-free algorithm. Heritabilies for milk and fat yields using all the data were smaller in Brazil (.26 and .23) than in the in the U.S.A. (.33 and .36). Genetic correlations between milk and fat were .79 in Brazil and .62 in the U.S.A. Sire and residual variances for milk yield in Brazil were 59% and 81% (all herds), 51% and 58% (low HYSD herds), and 59% and 101% (high HYSD herds) as large as those obtained for all the U.S.A. data. corresponding percentage values for fat yield were 39% and 65%, and 48%, and 41 and 80%, respectively. Genetic correlations obtained from biavariate analyses between countries ranged from .79 to .87 for milk yield and were .89 or .90 for fat yield. Parameter estimates using all data for bibariate and multivariate analyses were essentially the same. Correlated response from sire selection using the U.S.A. information increased with average HYSD Brazil: daughter response was greatest (.77 kg/kg for milk yield and .63 kg/kg for fat yield) based on information from U.S.A. half-sisters in low HYSD herds. Unequal daughter responses from unequal genetic (co) variances under restrictive Brazilian conditions support the presence of an interaction between genetype and environment, which affects the yield expectation of daughters of U.S.A. sires performing in Brazilian herd enrironments.

Download or read book Nutrition and Lactation in the Dairy Cow written by Philip C. Garnsworthy and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrition and Lactation in the Dairy Cow is the proceedings of the 46th University of Nottingham Easter School in Agricultural Science. Said symposium was concerned with the significant advances in the field of nutrition and lactation in the dairy cow. The book is divided in five parts. Part I deals with the principles behind nutrition and lactation of cows. Part II discusses the cow’s nutrient interactions; responses to nutrients that yield protein and energy; and the influence of nutrient balance and milk yields. Part III tackles the efficiency of energy utilization in cows and its relation to milk production. Part IV talks about food intake of cows and the factors that affect it, while Part V deals with the different feeding systems for cows. The text is recommended for those involved in raising cows and dairy production, especially those who would like to know more and make studies about the relationship of nutrition and lactation of cows.

Download or read book The Genetics of Cattle 2nd Edition written by Dorian Garrick and published by CABI. This book was released on 2014-11-28 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the time of domestication more than 10,000 years ago, cattle have played an increasingly crucial role in the development of human civilizations. Progress has been quite remarkable since the turn of the century; the sequencing of the bovine genome in 2009 launched new avenues for furthering our understanding of theoretical and practical aspects of cattle genetics. Covering a vast array of questions, this book reviews major topics from molecular and developmental genetics, disease resistance and immunogenetics to genetic improvement of dairy and beef breeds, addressing all current problems in the field. This second edition includes a new team of authors and completely new chapters on the genetics of fat production, nutrition, feed intake and efficiency, growth and body composition. Fully updated throughout, it provides a valuable resource on cattle genetics for researchers, breeders, veterinarians and postgraduate students.

Download or read book Evolution and Selection of Quantitative Traits written by Bruce Walsh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 1504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantitative traits-be they morphological or physiological characters, aspects of behavior, or genome-level features such as the amount of RNA or protein expression for a specific gene-usually show considerable variation within and among populations. Quantitative genetics, also referred to as the genetics of complex traits, is the study of such characters and is based on mathematical models of evolution in which many genes influence the trait and in which non-genetic factors may also be important. Evolution and Selection of Quantitative Traits presents a holistic treatment of the subject, showing the interplay between theory and data with extensive discussions on statistical issues relating to the estimation of the biologically relevant parameters for these models. Quantitative genetics is viewed as the bridge between complex mathematical models of trait evolution and real-world data, and the authors have clearly framed their treatment as such. This is the second volume in a planned trilogy that summarizes the modern field of quantitative genetics, informed by empirical observations from wide-ranging fields (agriculture, evolution, ecology, and human biology) as well as population genetics, statistical theory, mathematical modeling, genetics, and genomics. Whilst volume 1 (1998) dealt with the genetics of such traits, the main focus of volume 2 is on their evolution, with a special emphasis on detecting selection (ranging from the use of genomic and historical data through to ecological field data) and examining its consequences.
