DAIRY PRODUCTIVITY OF COWS ORIGINING FROM PERSPECTIVE BRANCHES OF THE HOLSTANIAN BREED

Abstract

The aim of the study was to study the milk productivity of cows originating from different promising branches and lines of the Holstein breed. The population studied was Wis Back Idial 101341, Reflection Sovering 198998, Montvik Chieftain 95679, Siling Traijun Rokita 252803 and Roseife City 267150. The best indicators were established in cows of the line V.B. Ideal for the 1st and 3rd lactation (7086 and 7431 kg of milk with the amount of milk fat 271 and 285 kg and the amount of milk protein 225 and 238 kg), and the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05-0.001) in relation to other lines. In second place are the animals of the Reflection Sovering line. Cows of the line S.T. Rokita had a high milk fat content (3.85 and 3.94%) at P<0.05. In V. Aidial's line, the best milk yield indicators are shown by first-calf heifers of the SWEET-HAVEN TRADITION branch (7143 kg). In the R. Sovering line, cows of the TO-MAR BLACKSTAR-ET branch showed the greatest increase in milk yield by 89-1226 kg, milk fat yield by 4-42 kg, milk protein yield by 2-37 kg (P<0.001), and high milk fat content (3.86%) of the cow of the S-W-D VALIANT line (P<0.01-0.001). According to the 3rd lactation in the line of R. Sovering, cows of the S-W-D VALIANT branch show an advantage in milk yield by 353-831 kg of milk, mass fraction of fat - by 0.05-0.08%, milk fat yield - by 20-36 kg and milk protein yield - by 12-26 kg (P<0.05-0.01). As a result of the study, it was found that the use of animal branches of SWEET-HAVEN TRADITION, ROCKALLI SON OF BOVA, TO-MAR BLACKSTAR-ET and WALKWAY CHIEF MARK makes it possible to obtain high milk productivity from them.
