- W2785519005 abstract "Fertility of the dairy cow relies on complex interactions between genetics, physiology, and management. Mathematical modeling can combine a range of information sources to facilitate informed predictions of cow fertility in scenarios that are difficult to evaluate empirically. We have developed a stochastic model that incorporates genetic and physiological data from more than 70 published reports on a wide range of fertility-related traits in dairy cattle. The model simulates pedigree, random mating, genetically correlated traits (in the form of breeding values for traits such as hours in estrus, estrous cycle length, age at puberty, milk yield, and so on), and interacting environmental variables. This model was used to generate a large simulated data set (200,000 cows replicated 100 times) of herd records within a seasonal dairy production system (based on an average New Zealand system). Using these simulated data, we investigated the genetic component of lifetime reproductive success (LRS), which, in reality, would be impractical to assess empirically. We defined LRS as the total number of times, during her lifetime, a cow calved within the first 42 d of the calving season. Sire estimated breeding values for LRS and other traits were calculated using simulated daughter records. Daughter pregnancy rate in the first lactation (PD_1) was the strongest single predictor of a sire's genetic merit for LRS (R2 = 0.81). A simple predictive model containing PD_1, calving date for the second season and calving rate in the first season provided a good estimate of sire LRS (R2 = 0.97). Daughters from sires with extremely high (n = 99,995 daughters, sire LRS = +0.70) or low (n = 99,635 daughters, sire LRS = −0.73) LRS estimated breeding values were compared over a single generation. Of the 14 underlying component traits of fertility, 12 were divergent between the 2 lines. This suggests that genetic variation in female fertility has a complex and multifactorial genetic basis. When simulated phenotypes were compared, daughters of the high LRS sires (HiFERT) reached puberty 44.5 d younger and calved ∼14 d younger at each parity than daughters from low LRS sires (LoFERT). Despite having a much lower genetic potential for milk production (−400 L/lactation) than LoFERT cows, HiFERT cows produced 33% more milk over their lifetime due to additional lactations before culling. In summary, this simulation model suggests that LRS contributes substantially to cow productivity, and novel selection criteria would facilitate a more accurate prediction at a younger age." @default.
