Isbn: 9780331897784 - measuring the breeding value of dairy sires by the records of their first few advanced registry daughters (classic reprint) (1 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book investigates a method to predict and measure the breeding value of dairy sires based on the production records of their daughters. The author analyzes data from Jersey sires to find that, on average, a sire's first six tested daughters provide sufficient information to approximate the average milk and butterfat production of his first fifteen tested daughters. This discovery is significant because it allows breeders to make informed decisions about sires' breeding potential much earlier in their careers. The insights presented in this book provide a valuable tool for enhancing the genetic quality of dairy herds and increasing milk production efficiency. This research has greatly influenced modern dairy farming practices and continues to inform ongoing efforts to improve the productivity and profitability of dairy operations.
