摘要
本研究旨在估计土耳其爱琴海地区一个有机奶牛农场的牛群寿命(HL)和生产寿命(PL)的遗传力和遗传趋势。对从该农场剔除的1093头奶牛的数据进行了评估。祖先被收集到6代以前。因此,谱系文件由4212只动物组成。使用MTDFREML包程序估计方差成分和育种值。HL和PL的遗传力相等,均为0.16。遗传力的标准误差分别为0.06和0.08。HL和PL的遗传进度分别为1.60和0.60 d /年。HL和PL的估计与其他研究基本一致。遗传力表明,培育HL和PL是可能的;然而,对选择的反应将是缓慢的。尽管选择过程很长,但遗传变异可能足以使育种成功。基于与HL和PL有密切关系的特定性状的间接选择可能是有益的。我们的研究显示HL和PL的表型下降,证实了遗传趋势的波动。因此,应强调生命特征在选择指标中的重要性。
Estimation of heritability and genetic trend for herd life and productive life in Organic Holstein Cattle.
This study aims to estimate the heritability and genetic trend for herd life (HL) and productive life (PL) on an organic dairy cattle farm in the Aegean Region of Turkey. The data from 1093 cows culled from the farm were evaluated. Ancestors were collected by going 6 generations back. Thus, the pedigree file consisted of 4212 animals. Variance components and breeding values were estimated using the MTDFREML package program. The heritability for both HL and PL was found to be equal and 0.16. Standard errors of the heritabilities were 0.06 and 0.08, respectively. Genetic progress per year for HL and PL was 1.60 and 0.60 days, respectively. Estimations for HL and PL were generally consistent with other studies. Heritabilities indicate that breeding for HL and PL is possible; however, response to selection would be slow. Despite the extended length of the selection process, genetic variation could be sufficient for a successful breeding. Indirect selection based on particular traits that have a strong relationship with HL and PL may be beneficial. Our study showed a phenotypic decline in HL and PL, confirming the fluctuation in genetic trends. Therefore, the importance of life traits in the selection index should be emphasised.
