THE INFLUENCE OF REPRODUCTIVE QUALITIES ON DAIRY PRODUCTIVITY OF COWS OF THE SIMMENTAL BREED
Nesterova, Yu.A. | Grinchuk, M.A.
The applicability of the work is to identify the possibility of productivity increase of cows of the Simmental breed due to reproductive qualities. The aim of the work is to assess the influence of the first insemination age, service period and dry period on milk productivity of Simmental cows. The research is aimed at studying milk productivity of Simmental cows with different levels of reproductive qualities. The obtained data were statistically processed in Excel. Descriptive statistics methods were used. The object of the research were Simmental cows of “ Tasaliev D.M. “ farm of Kaliningrad region. As a result of the study, a relation was established between the age of the first successful insemination, the service period duration, the dry period duration and parameters of milk productivity. The age of the first successful insemination at 18-24 months has the most beneficial effect on subsequent milk productivity. A service period of 90-120 days has a positive effect on milk yield increase for 305 days of lactation, a longer service period negatively affects the mass fraction of milk fat. Prolonged service period results in a calf loss of 100 calves per year. With an increase of dry period duration, the mass fraction of milk fat increases, but milk yield decreases. The influence of reproductive qualities on mass fraction of milk protein is insignificant. According to the results of the studies, it can be considered that reproductive qualities, in combination with other factors, influence milk productivity of Simmental cows.
