Breeding work in dairy cattle breeding

In the dairy cattle breeding industry of the Republic of Belarus, by 2020 it is planned to achieve the genetic potential in pedigree dairy cattle breeding of up to 11.5 thousand kilograms of milk and in the marketable part of the population up to 9000 kg of milk.

Achievement of the indicators is planned due to the targeted selection of semen of world-breeding bulls of outstanding breeding (genetic) value for obtaining the next generation of repair breeding bulls in breeding farms and the growth of breeding brood stock, widespread use of bull semen assessed by the quality of the offspring in the controlled part of the sperm population, as well as high-value bulls imported at import at the genomic level imported for import to breeding and genetic centers.

Over 6 million doses of sperm of breeding bulls are produced and sold annually by breeding and genetic centers of the regions.

As a result of marketing research, contracts were concluded for direct cooperation with world producers of pedigree products, as a result of which high-value pedigree products (material) come to the republic, which are improvers in all breeding grounds from Germany, Holland, Scandinavian countries, Estonia, etc.

As mothers of the next generation of repair bull-calves, in the republic’s breeding organizations high-value cows with an excellent exterior are used, there is an agreement with the German Center for calculating breeding values ​​and a group of heifers is prepared for the assessment at the genomic level in order to further assign the status of “mother of bulls”.

Long-term work of experts of breeders in the Republic of Belarus resulted in high milk production, which directly depends on milk yield per cow. The available results, not notice not possible.

Milk YIELD per COW IN ALL CATEGORIES of FARMS IN REGIONS 2012-2017

For the period 2012-2017, the productivity of cows of the dairy direction of productivity, in all categories of farms, increased by 6%. The implementation of the genetic amounted to 65% in 2017.

At the same time, productivity in the breeding farms of the republic remains unattainable for many enterprises of the republic. Milk yield per cow in pedigree farms is 2491 kg of milk per cow higher than the national average for 2017.

REDUCE ON THE COW BY THE BREEDING FACILITIES OF THE REGIONS BY THE AREA OF REGIONS

Breeders of the republic continue focused work to improve the economically useful traits and increase the genetic potential of the herd, and farm managers should make every effort to unlock the genetic potential and achieve the highest results.
