VARIABILITY OF LONGEVITY INDICATORS OF UKRAINIAN BLACK-AND-WHITE DAIRY COWS DEPENDING ON SELECTION METHODS

Keywords: line, interline cross, selection, lactation, duration of productive use, lifetime productivity.

Abstract

Studies on the variability assessment of longevity indicators were carried out in the breeding herd of Ukrainian Blackand- White dairy breed of the private enterprise "Burynske" in the Podlisniv branch of Sumy region. Research was conducted to establish the influence of intraline and interline selection of parental pairs on indicators of the duration of cows’ use and lifetime productivity. When studying lines under intraline selection, interline differentiation was established based on longevity traits. Among the eight evaluated lines, the best group in terms of productive use duration and used lactations during life included the lines of P.F.A. Chief, Valiant 1650414, Elevation 1491007 and S.T. Rokit 252803 with indicators respectively of 1743-1896 days and 4.1-4.7 lactations. Based on the results the progeny evaluation obtained from the sires for various variants of interline crosses, a significant variability of the indicators of both the duration of productive use and the traits of lifetime milk productivity was established. The highest level of the productive use duration in 2115 days and the number of used lactations of 4.9 pieces was obtained from the cross lines of Valiant x S.T. Rokit. Correspondingly, the lowest indicators in 1021 days and 2.2 lactations from the cross of lines of Matt x Siteyshn. Higher indicators of the productive use duration and the number of used lactations are observed in variants of lines combination with the sires participation of Valiant line, both from the paternal side (Valiant x S.T. Rokit) and from the maternal side (Eleveyshn x Valiant; P.F.A Chief x Valiant; S.T. Rokit x Valiant). The most successful cross turned out to be S.T. Rokit x Bell. The productivity of animals in this interline cross in terms of lifetime milk yield was 30243 kg, due to the high milk fat content, the yield of milk fat was their priority in the second position (1155.3 kg), and the milk yield per day of productive use (19.8 kg) was the highest.
