UKRAINIAN WHITE-HEADED BREED OF DAIRY CATTLE AS A UNIT OF BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION

Keywords: Ukrainian White-Headed, breed, reproduction, productivity, number, dynamics

Abstract

Ukraine, as a country with developed dairy cattle breeding, has come a long way in the development of the industry. This is especially noticeable in the breeding of agricultural animals, where the process of breed formation has gone from the methodology of breed creation proposed by M.F. Ivanov to the conceptualization of breed theory in modern realities. Over time, in the world and in our country in particular, among scientists, the necessary issue of preserving the genetic resources of animals has arisen. The Ukrainian White-Headed breed of dairy cattle has always been of interest to scientists for its specific values (to date, there are no breeding herds of this breed). According to the State Breeding Registry, the Ukrainian White-Headed breed was bred only in one farm when the owners changed, until 2012, it was the OSAC "Antoninske", and since 2013 – the LLC "Podilsky Hospodar" of the Krasyliv district of the Khmelnytskyi region. Our research has established the stability of quantitative indicators of the herd until 2010, an increase in the total population to 924 heads in 2012 and a decrease to the level of 663 heads in 2020. The assessment of the main breeding trait in dairy cattle breeding has showed positive dynamics of increasing milk yield and fat content in milk. Although the average weight of the Ukrainian White-Headed breed is low and is 4019 kg, growth has been noted from 3005 kg in 2002 to 5084 kg in 2020. The milk productivity of the estimated first-calf heifers is on average 3692 kg with a fat content of 3.83% and its amount is 140 kg, and full-aged cows are 4314 kg, 3.79%, 163.3 kg, respectively. For different forms of ownership, a significant advantage of the cows of LLC "Podilsky Hospodar" compared to OSAC "Antoninske" was noted. Live weight of repair heifers at the age of 6 months, 12 months and 18 months was 154 kg, 246 kg, 335 kg, respectively. This led to low average daily gains, for the entire growing period at the level of 496.2 g. The average values, which belong to the reproductive indicators, remain stably high. Namely, the age of the heifers at the first insemination (556 days), as well as the length of the service period (88 days). As for the sale of breeding material, only 50 heads were purchased over the 16-year period, including 14 bulls.
