This study aimed to evaluate the genetic improvement program of the Friesian cows. SAS program was used to calculate averages and significant effect, and (REML) program was used to estimate genetic parameters for productive traits lifetime milk yield (LTMY), daily milk yield (DMY), Lactation Length (LL) and Lactation number complete (LNC), and fertility traits days open (DO) and calving interval (CI). The least square means of LTMY, DMY, LL, LNC, DO and CI were 17546 (Kg), 12(Kg), 304 (d), 3.5 (lactations), 78 (d) and 379(d), respectively. The effect of the month, year of calving and age at first calving (AFC) were significant for all the traits except, the farm was non-significant to DMY. Estimates of the heritability (h2a) were 0.09, 0.44, 0.24 and 0.34 for LTMY, DMY, LL and LNC, respectively, whereas 0.13 and 0.17 for DO and CI, respectively. High h2a of productivity traits, particularly DMY, emphasized the possibility of achieving a significant rate of genetic improvement in this trait through selection program. The genetic correlations were positive ranging from 0.02 to 0.76 , except CI with (DMY, LL and LNC) were negative and ranging from-0.07 to-0.76. The highest genetic and phenotypic correlation between DMY and LTMY. The low genetic value of these fertility traits reflected the lack of patients' genetic advancement for these traits while, phenotypic correlation estimates were positive except reproductive traits with some productive traits. Repeatability estimates are few and close to the heritability value due to the small presence of permanent environmental variation, confirming the unpredictability of the cow from its current records of fertility traits.

“…Javed, Abdullah, Akhtar, and Afzal () reported a similar correlation between calving interval and first lactation milk yield (0.46 ± 0.46) for Sahiwal cattle. Rahbar, Aminafshar, Abdullahpour, and Chamani () reported significant and positive correlation of calving interval with days open. The lower heritability estimate (14%) of calving interval suggested a relatively smaller contribution of genetic factors to this trait.…”

Inheritance of economic traits and their genetic correlation was studied in different breeds and their various grades (crossbred’s cattle) under the subtropical condition. Data on principal parameters comprising 10 years, that is 2004–2014, were utilized for the present study. Different grades of dairy cows comprising Holstein Friesian (HF), Sahiwal x Friesian (SxHF), Jersey (J), Jersey x Achai (JxAC) and Achai (AC) were included in the study. Heritability estimates and genetic correlations of some important productive and reproductive traits were worked out. Heritability estimates of certain economic traits were found to be: birthweight, 0.32 ± 0.181; age at maturity, 0.11 ± 0.136; age at first calving, 0.19 ± 0.162; days open, 0.09 ± 0.121; calving interval, 0.14 ± 0.211; dry period, 0.11 ± 0.124; lactation length, 0.04 ± 0.212 and lactation yield, 0.46 ± 0.206. Genetic correlation showed that body weight was significantly and positively correlated with lactation length (0.30) and lactation yield (0.81), while negatively correlated with age at maturity, age at first calving, days open, calving interval and dry period (−0.09, −0.07, −0.16, −0.34 and −0.002, respectively). Calving interval was positively and significantly correlated with the dry period (0.56), lactation length (0.72) and lactation yield (0.37). Moderate to higher heritability estimates with adequate genetic variance was found for body weight and lactation yield. The moderate to higher heritability estimates of birthweight in the present study revealed that this important trait might be considered in selection criteria.
