ABSTRACT

Milk yield records (305d, 2X, actual milk yield) of 123,639 registered first lactation Holstein cows were used to compare linear regression (y = β0 + β1X + e) ,quadratic regression, (y = β0 + β1X + β2X2 + e) cubic regression (y = β0 + β1X + β2X2 + β3X3 + e) and fixed factor models, with cubic-spline interpolation models, for estimating the effects of inbreeding on milk yield. Ten animal models, all with herd-year-season of calving as fixed effect, were compared using the Akaike corrected-Information Criterion (AICc). The cubic-spline interpolation model with seven knots had the lowest AICc, whereas for all those labeled as "traditional", AICc was higher than the best model. Results from fitting inbreeding using a cubic-spline with seven knots were compared to results from fitting inbreeding as a linear covariate or as a fixed factor with seven levels. Estimates of inbreeding effects were not significantly different between the cubic-spline model and the fixed factor model, but were significantly different from the linear regression model. Milk yield decreased significantly at inbreeding levels greater than 9 percent. Variance component estimates were similar for the three models. Ranking of the top 100 sires with daughter records remained unaffected by the model used.

ABSTRACT

Se desarrollaron índices para maximizar el beneficio económico en la selección de sementales Holstein para inseminación artifical. Las ponderaciones se obtuvieron a partir de un modelo del beneficio económico con selcción continua, a partir de parámetros biológicos y económicos del proceso de selección en hatos productores de leche en méxico. El índice de beneficio para 10 años de horizonte de inversión fue IB10 = 2.14 X precio por kg de leche X PTAL MEX - 19.92 X precio por dosis de semen. PTAL MEX es la capacidad predicha transmisible (predicted transmiting obility) para la producción de leche en Mexico. El índice de beneficio para 20 años de horizonte de inversión fue IB20 = 5.80 X precio por kg de leche PTAL Mex - 32.12 precio por dosis de semen. El valor económico de un kg de PTAL Mex para un horizonte de 10 años fue 0.107 X precio por kg de leche, el valor para 20 años fue 0.181 X precio por kg de leche. Se discuten aspectos relativos a la aplicación del índice con toros en México y otros países
