Abstract
CVM ( Complex Vertebral Malformations) and Brachyspina (BY) are the most common autosomal recessive genetic defects occurring in the last two decades in Holstein dairy cattle around the world. Beginning from 2004 and 2014, 3035 and 338 Polish Holstein-Friesian bulls were tested to find carriers of CVM and BY, respectively. Among analyzed bulls 191 CVM carriers (6.29%) and 20 BY carriers (5.92%) were identified. No CVM carriers were observed beginning from 2016, whereas only single BY carriers was identified annually for the last 5 years. One bull turned to be double CVM/ BY carrier as a son of also double CVM/BY top Dutch sire (JABOT 90676-4-9). It is shown that CVM and BY defects are practically eradicated from Polish dairy cattle although incidental testing should be continued if new bulls with CVM or BY carriers in sire or dam pedigree will unexpectedly appear.
