- W4385973114 abstract "Although interest in beef-on-dairy breeding strategies is intensifying, little is actually known of the performance differences between beef-sired male and female progeny of dairy cows. The objective was therefore to use a large cross-sectional database of up to 1,389,670 animals to investigate if performance differences existed between male and female progeny generated from beef-on-dairy matings; the focus was on characteristics of interest to both the dairy producer (i.e., gestation length, calving performance, perinatal mortality, and calf sale value) and the beef producer (i.e., slaughter-related traits). While statistical differences existed between both sexes, the observed differences were not always biologically large, with some favoring females (e.g., calving traits and age at slaughter) and some favoring males (i.e., carcass weight). Beef-sired male calves had, on average, a 0.8 d longer gestation than their female counterparts; the sex difference in dairy-sired calves was, on average, 1.1 d, with the advantage to females. The odds of a difficult calving was 2.2 times greater for beef-sired male calves relative to beef-sired female calves; this translated to a difference in predicted probability of dystocia between the sexes of 1.8 percentage units. Male beef-sired calves sold at auctions <42 d of age were worth, on average, €32.40 more than beef-sired female calves. Focusing just on beef-sired progeny, relative to heifer carcasses (mean weight of 280.0 kg), the carcasses of steers (mean weight of 336.9 kg) and bulls (mean weight of 335.4) were 55.4 to 56.9 kg heavier. Based on a 15-point conformation scale, the carcasses of bulls were 1 unit superior to heifers, with the carcasses of the latter being 0.06 units better than steers. Heifers were slaughtered, on average, 79.1 d younger than steers although heifers were slaughtered, on average, 93.8 d older than bulls, the latter generally being finished on a more intensive diet relative to steers and heifers in Ireland. In conclusion, many benefits exist for beef-sired heifer calves in that they had, on average, shorter gestations with less expected assistance required at calving and, although their calf value was less and their carcasses were lighter than their male counterparts, they were slaughtered several months younger than steers." @default.
