Estimated breeding values reflect the true genetic potential or genetic transmitting ability of animals. They are estimated for individual animals based on performance records of their parents, sibs, progenies and their own after correcting for various environmental… Continue reading old Latest Sire Proofs
Selection of animals based on pedigree information alone is less reliable. Waiting for daughter performance for selection of bull is very costly and takes 8-10 years in Indian condition. Genomic Selection refers to selecting animals using information from pedigree as well as information on dense DNA markers (i.e. Single Nucleotide Polymorphism-SNP) spread across genome. This… Continue reading Genomics
ONBS using Multiple Ovulation and Embryo Transfer (MOET) is to set an elite herd (or a few elite herds) of males and females and carry out intensive selection and testing within herd/s selecting males and females at an early age using family information and not on their progenies as in the case of the Progeny… Continue reading Sib – selection (Open Nucleus Breeding System (ONBS))
When bulls are evaluated and selected only on the basis of performance of their parents and grand parents, the process is referred to as Pedigree Selection (PS). In a situation where a large numbers of animals of a particular breed spread over many villages in the breeding tract and where there is a limited or… Continue reading Pedigree Selection
Progeny Testing refers to evaluation of bulls on the basis of their daughter’s performance. This long term and complex programme is considered to be scientifically best approach in achieving genetic improvement in a particular breed. Progeny testing is a practical and the best option for achieving genetic improvement in the breed spread over many villages… Continue reading Progeny Testing
As parents pass on half their genes to their progenies, better performing animals selected as parents, produce offspring that have better than average genetic values than the previous generation. How much genetic progress is achieved depends on genetic variation, intensity and accuracy of selection and generation interval. Three basic methods are used to select parents:… Continue reading Bull Production
India has been blessed with a large repository of indigenous bovine population with rich bio-diversity. There are 50 well-defined breeds of cattle and 17 breeds of buffaloes. These breeds have evolved over generations, surviving due to their adaptability to harsh climatic conditions, ability to perform on poor quality feed and fodder, resistance to diseases etc.… Continue reading Breeds
