Abstract
In the course of the research conducted at Agro-Soyuz LLC (Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Chegemsky district), the goal was to study the productivity of 69 first-calf cows of the Gomitinsky black-andwhite breed, the daughters of three breeding bulls, depending on the forms of inheritance or the leading breeding characteristics of dairy productivity (milk yield, fat content), for the definitions of which were used by a new methodology, which is a modified version of the methodology widely used in breeding work with dairy cattle.As a result of determining the forms of inheritance of milk yield in experimental first-calf cows, it was found that the largest share among them fell on animals with milk yield due to such a form of inheritance as regression of the mother (44.9%), the smallest share – on first-calf cows with milk yield due to the dominance of the father (7.3%). When determining the forms of inheritance of fat milk, the same trend was observed as when determining the forms of inheritance of milk yield, that is, among 659 first-heifer cows, the most animals were from the mother regression group (42%), and the least were animals from the father dominance group (4,4%). The established difference between groups of first-calf cows with different forms of inheritance of the breeding trait turned out to be quite significant and reached, in some cases, 2368 kg in milk yield per lactation (p>0,999), 0,32% in fat content (p>0,99).
