The relationship of productive qualities of holshteinized black-and-white cattle along the lines

Abstract

In the Sverdlovsk region, holstinized black-and-white cattle of the Ural type is bred, which is represented by large, highly productive animals with a high genetic potential for productivity. The purpose of the work is to study the productive qualities of Holsteinized black-and-white cattle with a high proportion of blood relationship in the Holstein breed, depending on the linear affiliation and their relationship. There are no differences in milk yield and milk quality indicators in cows of different lines. All cows were of dairy productivity, as evidenced by the high coefficient of milk production. There was a significant difference between groups of cows of different lines in terms of the lactation stability coefficient, which was higher in the group of cows of the Reflection Sovering line (P≤0.05). The figure clearly shows that the correlation between milk yield and milk quality indicators – FDM and PDM in milk is negative, that is, with an increase in milk yield, there is a decrease in FDM and PDM in milk. A positive correlation has been established between the phenotypic trait (live weight) and their productive qualities – milk yield and lactation stability coefficient, which makes it possible to recommend selection by live weight.
