Reading NZ Bull Proofs 32

Welcome to lic ireland’s 2014 catalogue Which is the same, but different. this year We have the same great format, neW and great bulls but the difference is that this catalogue, for the first time, shoWcases eurogene’s irish produced sires. Whilst we know that the Next Generation Sires we import from NZ out of the elite of the 3.5 million milk recorded cows are the best genetics available in Ireland for Irish farmers, the proof of the pudding (in Ireland) is not obvious until they become highly proven. The quality of LIC genetics is also borne out, time and again, when sons of New Zealand bred bulls top the EBI listing.

I am therefore delighted to tell you that we have partnered with Eurogene through

to provide you with a choice of elite dairy genetics.

The choice is yours – if you want the best of the best from the New Zealand national herd, select LIC; if you want genetics bred in Ireland, select . And if you need advice, talk to us!

USIng thE tOPsIf a sire has a Breeding Value close to 0, he is not expected to bring about much change in that trait when used over a group of average cows. However if the sire’s BV is markedly different from 0, he is expected to bring about noticeable changes when used over a group of average cows. Remember – a bull passes half of its genetic merit on average to immediate offspring.

FarmEr ScOrEd managEmEnt traItSSire Proving farmers score two-year-old heifers on the four farmer traits. The resulting BV is the expected genetic merit of an animal relative to a base of zero (2000 born cow).adaPtaBILItY tO mILKIng – describes how soon the heifer settled into the milking routine after calving.ShEd tEmPEramEnt – describes the temperament of the heifer in the farm dairy while being handled and milked.mILKIng SPEEd – describes the milking speed of the heifer.OVEraLL OPInIOn – describes the farmer’s overall acceptance of the heifer as a herd member.

InSPEctOr ScOrEd cOnFOrmatIOn traItS StatUrE – describes the height at the shoulders of the heifer in five centimetre bands.

caPacItY – describes depth and width of chest and body in relation to the physical size of the heifer.

rUmP angLE – describes the angle of a line between the centre of the hips and the top of the pins.

rUmP WIdth – describes the width of pins, hips and thurls relative to the size of the heifer.

BW/rELIaBILItYA Breeding Worth of 204 indicates that using this bull to breed a replacement is expected to generate NZD$204 more profit per 4.5t DM per year than using a bull with a BW of 0.Reliability measures the expected ability of an animal to generate progeny that are efficient converters of feed into profit. The more information included in the evaluation, the higher the reliability.

BaSE cOWThe estimated Breeding Values are expressed relative to a base of 0. The base of 0 (the centre line of the TOP graph) represents the average breeding value estimated for 2000-born base cows that had all their traits recorded in 2002.

PrOdUctIOn BVsPrOtEIn, mILK Fat & mILK – A BV of + 35kg Protein indicates the bull will produce daughters which, on average, are genetically superior by 17kg protein per lactation above the base cow..

FErtILItY – A BV of 4.3% indicates that 2.1% more daughters are expected to calve in the first 42 days of a herd’s calving period, compared to a bull with a BV of 0 %.

tOtaL LOngEVItY – A BV of +412 days indicates the bull’s daughters are expected to last in the herd for 206 days longer, compared to a bull with a BV of 0 days.

SOmatIc cELL – Sire Breeding Values for somatic cells in milk are reported in these SCC units. A useful approximation for farmers and advisors is to note that a difference between two sires of 0.5 in breeding value equates to a difference in expected daughter performance of 35,000 SCC (given the same management effects for all daughters).

caLVIng dIFFIcULtY – A sire’s Calving Difficulty Breeding Value (BV) compares the percentage of assisted calvings expected when he is mated to yearling heifers.

gEStatIOn LEngth – A breeding value to evaluate shorter gestation length to tighten calving patterns when used towards the end of the herd’s mating period. On average we would expect to shorten the gestation by one day using a bull with a SGL BV of –2.8.

OncE a daY (Oad) – The OAD BV or GV evaluates the tendency of a bull’s progeny to be more efficient in a once-a-day farming system. The biggest factor in making OAD successful is milking the right cows. A higher OAD Index is more desirable. As a rule, Jerseys are more efficient in a OAD system.

hIgh InPUt – High input farmers are not just interested in BW. They want animals producing high milk solids, and with good type (especially udder support) to carry the extra milk volume. The High Input index uses information and economic weights appropriate for the average high input system (in New Zealand). High Input index considers all seven traits in Breeding worth (weighted differently) plus udder overall.
