1 CRV AMBREED - NEW ZEALAND GENETICS UK DIRECTORY 218 Avoncroft BETTER COWS

2 CRV AMBREED S BREEDING PHILOSOPHY - NZMI The New Zealand Merit Index (NZMI) has been developed to enable New Zealand dairy farmers to breed a long-lasting, productive herd. NZMI is a desired gains index with a future focus on the genetic direction of your herd. The NZMI breeding philosophy is focused on breeding a cow that will typically produce an average of 45kg of milk solids each year and last for 5.5 lactations. The difference between NZMI and BW is emphasis placed on the overall opinion and selected type traits, that are strongly connected to long-lasting and productive animals. The graphics below illustrate the difference between selecting solely on NZMI or solely on BW, and the expected response in your herd over a 1-year period. These responses show that typically in the longterm NZMI: Creates greater genetic gain on protein production while maintaining the size of Holsteins Places focus on the sustainability and efficiency of your herd Improves shed traits, capacity and udders. ACROSS ALL BREED EVALUATION The New Zealand bull data in this catalogue is displayed across all breeds (unless stated). This is in line with how data is displayed in New Zealand by NZAEL. WHY ACROSS ALL BREED? Many grazing customers now select genetics from multiple breeds for their breeding program. It is therefore important for the farmer to understand how the animal should perform within his herd, not just within the breed of the herd. Therefore, we believe that an across breed evaluation is now the best tool to help you make breeding choices geared toward making your herd the most profitable it can be. What you will now observe is Jersey BVs for milk volume, live weight and stature will now appear lower, while fertility percentage will have increased. The opposite will apply for Holstein Friesians. For selection within the breed we suggest you compare the individual BV s against the Breed Average (BA) especially for the before mentioned traits.

It aims to breed a productive, long lasting cow that will typically produce about 45 kg MS a year by balancing production, management and type traits. See page 5 for more information. BW 5 LOW Economic index that ranks bulls and cows on their expected ability to breed profitable and efficient replacements. TOTAL LONGEVITY LOW The total longevity breeding value is defined as the expected genetic merit of a cow to live for more (or fewer) days of herd life relative to the genetic base cows. LIVE WEIGHT -5 LOW 25 HIGH 4 HIGH 8 HIGH The estimated live weight of the animal. This is usually one score lower than stature, and will likewise vary considerably between breeds. % LOW 8 HIGH The CRV Ambreed index known as Better Life Health helps you select animals that will have more or less incidences of health problems throughout their lifetime. See page 7 for more information. % LOW 8 HIGH The CRV Ambreed index known as Better Life Efficiency helps you select animals that will more or less efficient at converting energy to production over the course of their lifetime. See page 6 for more information. PRODUCTION MILK (LTS) -4 LOW 12 HIGH This trait measures the expected volume of milk produced by the individual and is of interest due to transport costs associated with moving milk from farms to processing plants around the country. This is why milk is valued negatively in both NZMI & BW. PROTEIN (KG) LOW 4 HIGH Milk protein is a component of the milk produced by cows and is the most valued output (by processors) from NZ dairy farms. It is also the single most important trait for both NZMI & BW. FAT LOW 4 HIGH Milk fat is the other component of milk which is paid for by milk processors in NZ and is used in producing lower value commodities such as butter. NZMI CONSISTS OF: (43%): Protein BV (kg), Milk BV (lt). Management (36%): Live weight BV (kg), Fertility BV (%), Somatic Cells BV, Res. Survival BV (days), Calving Difficulty BV (%), Overall Opinion (BV) Type (21%): Capacity (BV), Rump Angle (BV), Udder Overall (BV). 18 CRV AMBREED UK DIRECTORY 218

19 MANAGEMENT & SHED TRAITS CONFORMATION FERTILITY -3 LOW 4 HIGH ADAPTABILITY TO MILKING SLOWLY QUICKLY STATURE SHORT TALL FRONT UDDER LOOSE STRONG The objective for herd reproductive performance in most New Zealand herds is to achieve high pregnancy rates in a short time period following the planned start of mating, and to maintain calving intervals very close to 365 days. BODY CONDITION SCORE (BCS) -.1 SHARP.25 COVERED Body condition score is commonly used as a method to assess body energy reserves. SOMATIC CELLS SCORE (SCS) -.2 DESIRABLE.2 UNDESIRABLE Good udder health is typically reflected in low levels of somatic cell counts in milk. CALVING DIFFICULTY -3 EASY 4 DIFFICULT A description of how soon the animal settled into the milking routine after calving specifically taking into account how many milkings before let down was spontaneous and completed without extra attention. SHED TEMPERAMENT GRUMPY LOVELY Measures the temperament of the animal in the shed while being handled and milked. It is a different trait to adaptability to milking as it is assessed once an animal has settled into the milking routine. MILKING SPEED SLOW FAST The length of time from putting on the cups to when the milk flow stops or cups are taken off. Those cows that have nice silky udders (in contrast to meaty, lumpy udders) tend to, nine out of ten times, be quicker milkers. OVERALL OPINION POOR WELL-LIKED The height at the shoulder of the animal. This trait is measured across all breeds, resulting in all Jerseys being negative on the breeding values bar graph, Ayrshires being intermediate and Friesians being mainly positive. CAPACITY FRAIL CAPACIOUS Combination of strength and depth of chest and body as viewed from side, rear and front in relation to the physical size of the cow. This is an important trait and reflects an animals ability to convert feed into milk and withstand the rigours of life. RUMP ANGLE HIGH SLOPING Describes the angle between the centre of the hip and the top of the pin bone. A low score indicates the cow has high pins and a high score indicates low pins. A score of 5-6 describes a flat rump to slightly sloping which is optimal. RUMP WIDTH NARROW WIDE Measures the strength of attachment of the fore udder to the body wall. REAR UDDER LOOSE Describes the height and width of the rear udder attachment as distinct from udder support. FRONT TEAT WIDE REAR TEAT WIDE STRONG CLOSE The placement of the front teats (at the point of attachment to the udder) relative to the centre of the quarters. A low score indicates wide front teats whilst a high score indicates close front teats. CLOSE The placement of the rear teats (at the point of attachment to the udder) relative to the centre of the quarters. A low score indicates wide rear teats whilst a high score is close and 5 is central. Although the calving difficulty BV is expressed in terms of assisted births in first-calving heifers, the BV can also be used to identify bulls that are expected to increase rates of assisted calving for cows carrying the bull s calves. GESTATION LENGTH -5 SHORTER 3 LONGER The number of days shorter or longer than the average gestation period of a dairy cow. Use this strategically to tighten your calving pattern. RESIDUAL SURVIVAL A farmers overall acceptance of the animal as a herd member. Distance between the most posterior point of the pin bones relative to the size of the animal. This trait is a good predictor of the width a cow has throughout her body. LEGS STRAIGHT CURVED Measures the angulation or set of the rear legs and is measured from an imaginary line between thurls and mid-hoof while the cow is walking. A low score indicates a straight leg, whilst a high score indicates a sickled or curved leg set. A score close to 5-6 is considered ideal. UDDER SUPPORT WEAK STRONG UDDER OVERALL UNDESIRABLE DESIRABLE The inspector gives an overall score of the udder including any other udder traits not measured before. Udder overall score can be used to simply compare the overall udder standard of bull daughters. DAIRY CONFORMATION UNDESIRABLE DESIRABLE An overall conformation score combining all traits except udder traits. Dairy conformation is a useful trait for simply comparing animals for dairy type. LESS MORE Residual survival is defined as herd-life after accounting for the genetic effects of production, live weight, milk, somatic cells and fertility on herd-life. This trait describes the strength of the suspensory ligament as viewed from the rear. It also includes the udder depth relative to the hocks. Udder support is a very important trait in determining the number of lactations a cow s udder will survive. CRV AMBREED UK DIRECTORY
