4 OUR CO-OPERATIVE LIC is a farmer-owned co-operative that provides leading-edge genetics and solutions to improve the productivity and prosperity of dairy farmers all around the world. If there s one certainty with dairy farming, it s that it never stands still. It s always evolving, changing and looking ahead. It s always improving. Our approach to dairy farming is no different. In 1909, we started improving the quality of New Zealand's national herd. Today, LIC's breeding programme is one of the largest of its kind in the world. OUR PURPOSE Our co-operative empowers livestock farmers through: Genetics and information to create superior livestock Information to improve decision making to enable superior livestock performance Hardware and systems to improve productivity and decision making LIC International adding value for dairy farmers worldwide OUR ACHIEVEMENTS Three out of four New Zealand dairy cows are sired by an LIC bull Over 10 million milk samples are analysed by LIC each year with information added to proof of sire Over 4.7 million dairy animals recorded on one national database 5 million straws of fresh semen are dispatched all over New Zealand during spring mating season Around 1 million frozen semen straws were sold internationally in the season We export to over 20 countries worldwide Around 11% of revenue is invested back into the research and development of new products and solutions 4

5 OUR GENETICS LIC s breeding objective is to breed bulls that breed profitable cows cows that are not only efficient converters of feed to milk, but cows that get back in calf easily each year and last many lactations within the herd Fertile The NZ herd replacement rate is around 20% per season, which gives farmers a better chance to breed the right cows with the right genetics and improve their herds Productive NZ cows average 4.8% fat and 3.9% protein, with many achieving 1kg milk solids from 1kg liveweight Strong Udders NZ cows complete 5 lactations on average in their lifetime, reaching peak lactation Low maintenance NZ farmers have a high cow per labour unit ratio, so it is crucial that the kiwi cow is a no-fuss, easy care animal Long Living NZ cows live for seven years on average, around twice as long as a USA cow Efficient NZ cows can efficiently convert feed into profit over a variety of systems Reliable LIC genetics are tested across hundreds of commercial herds to prove they can produce profitable cows Robust NZ cows are fit to walk to and from the milking parlour everyday, twice a day OUR FUTURE Whatever the challenges of the times or the marketplace, our job will remain the same. That job is to continue to improve the genetics of dairy cows globally, improve the information that farmers have and the way they use it, and improve profitability through smart and innovative technology. Because that s what we re about. Improvement. 5

6 UNDERSTANDING NEW ZEALAND BULL DATA Across all Breed Evaluation The bull data in this catalogue is displayed across all breeds; this is in line with how the New Zealand Animal Evaluation (NZAEL) unit and LIC rank New Zealand dairy animals. Because many LIC customers here in Australia and around the world select genetics from multiple breeds for optimal herd performance, it is important for farmers to understand how an animal should perform within the whole herd, not just within one breed of the herd. LIC believe that an across all breed evaluation is the best tool to help you make breeding choices geared toward making your herd the most profitable it can be. Base Cow The New Zealand Base Cow is the genetic reference point used to determine Breeding Worth (BW) and Breeding Values (BV) for all New Zealand dairy cattle. All of the bull information in this catalogue is recorded relative to the 2005 Base Cow the average of 21,585 cows born in the year 2005 whose production and TOP (traits other than production) data has been set to zero. Each cow has been TOP inspected and herd tested at least four times to deliver an accurate result. Production Production is reported on their 270-day lactation yields relative to 5t Dry Matter: kg 218 Volume (litres) 4595 kg 174 Liveweight (kg) 500 Traits Other than Production Assessing the Animal Traits Other than Production (TOP) refer to the behaviour, temperament and physical attributes of a cow and are scored separately on a scale from one to nine. The four farmer-scored and 14 inspector-scored TOP traits are considered very important in relation to the overall efficiency of dairy cattle Data Processing Undesirable Average Desirable The raw data is then sent through to the New Zealand Animal Evaluation unit where within herd, region and national comparisons are analysed and processed. This information is then fed into the national database as breeding values for sires. The average raw TOP scores of the 2005 base cow are as follows: FARMER SCORED MANAGEMENT TRAITS Sire Proving farmers score two-year-old heifers on the four farmer traits Low Score High Score Base Cow Average Adaptability to Milking describes how soon the heifer settled into the milking routine after calving slowly quickly 6.12 Shed Temperament describes the temperament of the heifer in the farm dairy while being handled and milked nervous placid 6.28 Milking Speed describes the milking speed of the heifer slow fast 6.33 Overall Opinion describes the farmer s overall acceptance of the heifer as a herd member undesirable desirable 6.57 INSPECTOR SCORED CONFORMATION TRAITS Stature describes the height at the shoulders of the heifer in five centimetre bands small tall 5.75 Capacity describes depth and width of chest and body in relation to the physical size of the heifer frail capacious 6.34 Rump Angle describes the angle of a line between the centre of the hips and the top of the pins high pins sloping 4.79 Rump Width describes the width of pins, hips and thurls relative to the size of the heifer narrow wide 6.17 Legs describes the straightness or curvature of the back legs while the heifer is walking straight curved 6.18 Udder Support describes the strength of the suspensory ligament, and the udder depth relative to the hocks weak strong 6.02 Front Udder describes the attachment of the front udder to the body wall loose strong 5.70 Rear Udder describes the height and width of the rear udder attachment low high 5.76 Front Teat Placement describes the placement of the front teats relative to the centre of the quarters wide close 4.53 Rear Teat Placement describes the placement of the rear teats relative to the centre of the quarters wide close 5.84 Udder Overall assesses the desirability of all traits pertaining to the udder undesirable desirable 5.71 Dairy Conformation assesses the desirability of all traits pertaining to dairy conformation, but excluding udder traits undesirable desirable

7 Breeding Worth (BW) ranks bulls by their expected ability to breed profitable replacements. Using this bull at a BW of 225 indicates that per 5t DM the replacements are expected to generate NZD 225 more net profit than using a sire with a BW of 0. The reliability of a sire is a measure of the amount of information behind the bulls BW. The higher the reliability the less movement expected with his BW. Milk Volume. NZAEL Breeding Values (BV) are normally calculated across all breeds. Therefore Black & Whites have higher Milk Volume BVs than Jerseys. A BV of 492 litres indicates the bull will produce daughters that are genetically superior than the average Black and White by 246 litres of milk. and. A BV of 39 kg indicates that the bull will produce daughters which on average, are genetically superior to the base cow by 19 kg per 5t DM consumed. Somatic Cell Count. A useful approximation for farmers to note, is that a difference between two sires of 0.5 in breeding value equates to a difference in expected daughter performance of 35,000 bulk milk count. The lower the SCC BV the better as you want to reduce the bulk milk. Fertility. A BV of 3.7% dicates that 1.8% more daughters are expected to calve in the first 42 days of a herds calving period, compared to a bull of 0. New Zealand has been able to achieve the tightest calving interval worldwide. Highly fertile cows have been necessary to achieve this. It is generally accepted that the New Zealand base cow is far more fertile than any other countries base. Total Longevity. A BV of +365 days indicates the bull s daughters are expected to last in the herd for days. 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 bull with a GL of 2.5 days indicates that, on average, his calves will be born 1.2 days earlier than the calves of a bull with a BV of 0. Liveweight. A BV of 29 kg indicates that the bull will produce daughters, which on average will be 14 kg heavier than daughters of a bull that has a Liveweight BV of 0 kg. NZ EVALUATION DATA Management. Farmers assess a sire s progeny based on four management traits, which are then scored relative to the base cow. For example, a positive Milking Speed BV indicates a bull should sire daughters that milk faster than both the base cow and daughters of bulls with a BV of 0.00 and below. Conformation. Inspectors assess a sire s progeny based on fourteen conformation traits (includes Weight and Body Condition Score), which are then compared to the base cow. For example, a positive Stature BV means a bull should sire taller daughters than a bull with a score of

8 HIGH INPUT LIC s High Input Index focuses on a range of traits as well as Breeding Worth (BW) to identify animals that are best suited to High Input systems. Those traits include Capacity, Udder Support, Udder Overall and. The graph shows the weighting of the traits within the High Input Index, in addition to the existing eight traits of BW. The High Input index allows two animals to be compared based on their suitability to the system.

9 ONCE-A-DAY LIC s Once-A-Day (OAD) index has been developed to help OAD farmers breed cows that persist throughout lactation and have longevity in the herd. The index has a strong correlation to Breeding Worth (BW) as well as four functional traits that are required in a desirable OAD cow: Capacity, Udder Support, Front Teat Placement and Milking Speed. The graph shows the weighting of the traits within the OAD Index, in addition to the existing eight traits of BW.

10 SHORT GESTATION LENGTH With a team of bulls selectively bred to shorten gestation length, the SGL product can help you to shorten your calving, increase days in milk, and give your cows longer to recover improving their chances of getting back in calf. There is a range of SGL products available: SGL Hereford LIC and leading Hereford breeders, Shrimpton s Hill Herefords, have developed Hereford bulls with a gestation length up to 9 days shorter than their breed average. These beef bulls breed white-faced offspring that you can easily identify in the herd. SGL plus BW SGL plus BW combines genetics for a shorter gestation with sound genetic merit so farmers can keep heifer calves as replacements. These SGL sires have been tested to ensure their traits are passed on to their offspring, with the purpose of improving the overall efficiency of your herd.
