Genetic Parameters Of Growth, Reproductive, And Productive Characteristics In Anatolian Buffaloes, Yusuf Kaplan, Mustafa Tekerli̇
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
It was aimed to investigate the genetic parameters in growth, fertility, and productivity of Anatolian buffaloes maintained at private farms of Yozgat. A total of 1139 buffalo cows and their calves were used in the study. The weights at birth, weaning, 6th and 12th months of age, and daily live weight gains (DLWG) of buffalo calves born from 2015 to 2019 were recorded. Calving interval (CI) and service period (SP), lactation milk yield (LMY), milk yield per day of lactation period (MYPDLP), milk yield per day of calving interval (MYPDCI), peak yield (PY), a day at peak yield (DPY) and …

Estimation Of Variance Components And Genetic Parameters For Type Traits And Milk Yield In Holstein Cattle, Serdar Duru, Salahatti̇n Kumlu, Erdoğan Tuncel
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This research was conducted to estimate variance components and genetic parameters for type traits and milk yield in Holstein-Friesian cattle. In this study, 597 daughters of 158 sires in 128 herds were classified. In the data analysis, type scores for 354 daughters bred within 70 herds sired by 46 sires that had at least 3 daughters, and 304 lactation records for 206 daughters within 56 herds sired by 37 sires, were considered. For estimation of variance components and correlations among the traits, the MTDFREML package program was used. The mean stature was 145.56 cm. Means for linear traits varied from …
