Abstract

The success (or failure) of a breeding centre can be assessed through the genetic trend of trait(s) included in the breeding objective and the inbreeding trend.  Through continuous genetic evaluation and structured mating program, positive genetic trend while maintaining inbreeding on the reasonable level will be achieved.  Inbreeding level of a population is an important aspect in animal breeding as this may lead to a deteriorating phenomenon called inbreeding depression.  This information will guide the animal breeder on how the mating system of their animals will be designed.  Inbreeding level of a dairy cow population generally is maintained to be less than 10%.  The trend of additive genetic (breeding value) and inbreeding of dairy cattle population in Baturraden Dairy Cattle Breeding Centre (Balai Besar Pembibitan Ternak Unggul Sapi Perah, BBPTU) was examined.  The pedigree data consisted of 450 animals and 861 records were analyzed.  The study included two traits namely milk yield (MY) and calving interval (CI).  The pedigree data were collected from 1977 to 1990. The breeding value (EBV) of animals was estimated using DMU computer package applying repeatability animal model and the coefficient of inbreeding was computed with SECATEURS.  The study showed zero inbreeding level of the population based on the pedigree available without any single inbred animal.  The population showed no genetic progress over years during the period of 1977-1990 based on linear regression of EBVs on the year of birth.  This indicated that during the period of 1977 and 1990 the genetic improvement program in BBPTU was unsuccessful.  The inbreeding level of zero could mean that the designed mating system was successful.  However, no genetic progress and no inbreeding trend could mean that no selection program has been introduced in the breeding centre.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study the effect of egg production selection characteristic on productivity of Tegal duck.  Materials used were 112 of six month old Tegal ducks consisted of 16 males and 96 females.  Selection for females was applied on 12 duck groups based on egg production phenotipic: parent stock duck (G1) which was offspring of their ancestor (G0) having egg production above average production (not less than 78 eggs in 120 days); while the males were selected based on egg production of their mother, and 4 groups were  use as control.  Production and reproduction data were analysed descriptively compared to initial population using T test.  Egg production was analysed based on Nested Classification to estimate haritability value (h2).  The results indicated that egg production increased from 78.00±19.00 (G0) to 88.12±11.57 (G1).  Heritability estimation on egg production and genetic progress were 0.35 and 5.95 respectively.  On the male, the selection increased body weight and semen quality.  It was concluded that selection of egg production characteristics increased productivity of  Tegal duck.

Abstract

A data set of dairy cattle production and reproduction taken from Baturraden Dairy Cattle Breeding Centre (Balai Besar Pembibitan Ternak Unggul; BBPTU) was used in the study.  The data included were 180 records of milk production collected from first, second and third lactation.  The  objectives of the study were : (1) to estimate heritability and repeatability of the milk production, (2) to compute accuracy, response and effectiveness of individual selection on different selection methods and intensities, (3) to study the best lactation period for selection in dairy cattle. Some conclusion can be drawn: (1) the estimated repeatability of milk production was considered low, the opposite was true for heritability estimate, (2) the selection response and its effectiveness increased when the number of animals maintained in the population decreased, (3) the selection accuracy increased along with the increased of number of record included, (4) the highest selection accuracy was obtained from individual selection with three records whilst the family selection resulted in the lowest selection accuracy.  It was also concluded that selection in dairy cattle can be done as early as the first lactation and the accuracy will be increased if combined with the information from relatives.

Abstract

Abstract. The objective of the current study was to find out the litter size and lamb survivability of Batur sheep, and also to identify the effects of ewe parities on litter size and lamb survivability; and the effects of birth type on lamb survivability of Batur sheep. The study was conducted at the Batur sheep Farming Group in the upland areas of Banjarnegara regency, Central Java province of  Indonesia.   Data from 311 records of lambing of Batur sheep at the village breeding centre for Batur sheep were analyzed. Least squares procedure by the General Linear Model was used to identify the effect of parity on litter size at birth and at weaning. Preweaning survivability was analyzed using the Chi-squares. Results showed that average litter size at birth and at weaning, and lambs survivability till weaning were 1.55±0.03 and 1.36±0.03 lambs; and 88.42%, respectively. Litter size at weaning and lambs survivability was significantly different among ewe parities, and increased by advancing ewes parities. Its indicating that age of ewe was important factor for the success in early stage for producing lamb. Survivability of single lamb (93.62%) was significantly higher that twins (84.11%). Increased care for twins by providing proper management might lead to a recognizable increase in lamb survival and flock productivity of Batur sheep.Key words: Batur sheep, litter size, lamb survivability, parity, preweaningAnimal Production 13(3):166-172 (2011)
