“…There are many studies showing the negative correlation between high milk yield and reproduction performance (Lucy 2001;Dobson et al 2008;Walsh et al 2011). These results are in parallel with international studies in which milk yields of two breeds are compared (Micinski et al 2014;Janzekovic et al 2009;Budimir et al 2011;Toledo-Alvarado et al 2017). At national literature, on the other hand, there is no reference study where these two breeds are compared for milk yields.…”

In recent years, dairy cattle breeders prefer Simental cows due to higher breeding time and lower incidence of disease, although they have lower milk yield than Holstein cows. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate longevity, the culling reason and some milk yield traits in between the two breeds to investigate the accuracy of this preference. All data that used were collected from herd (Bursa-Karacabey state farm) records belongs to culling cows in two years (2015-2016) and analysed. Longevity for Holstein and Simmental cows were determined 33.6±1.08 month and 33.7±1.21 month. Average lactation milk yield (LMY), 305 days milk yield (305-dMY) and days in milk (DIM), were found to be 8515.63±196.507 kg, 7517.98±148.289 kg and 403.75±9.575 days respectively for Holstein cows and 6079.75±163.126 kg, 5525.71±117.931 kg and 351.40±8.559 days for Simental cows. While the differences between two breeds in terms of longevity and culling reasons were not significant, Holstein cows had higher milk yield than Simmental cows. As a conclusion, it can be said that Holstein cows is the best choice for dairy breeders in local circumstances.

“…In the study of Budimir et al (2011) in Bosnia and Hercegovina, Simmental breed cows had average milk production in the first lactation of 4084 kg, in the second 4440 kg and in the third 4483 kg in very bad conditions of feeding and rearing, meaning that there is genetic potential and the possibility of more efficient utilization and of increasing production of milk.…”

This study was conducted in five dairy farms with different capacity (farms A with 47, B 12, C 10, D 14 and E 24 Simmental cows, aged between 4 and 5 years and body weight about 600 kg) in order to determine a relationship between rearing system, Animal Needs Index (ANI) and milk traits. Loose system of cow rearing was used in open stalls in farms A and C, while in other farms cows were tied in closed stalls. In two farms, there were outdoor pens, permanently available to cows on farm A, and during daytime on farm D. Rations for dairy cows were equal in all five farms and suitable for daily milk production about 20 kg with 4.0 % milk fat and 3.5 % milk protein. It was established that total ANI scores for farms were A 35.5, B 9.5, C 24.5, D 26.5 and E 10.5. The welfare levels in farms B and E were not sufficient, in farms C and D were very good, while in farm A it was excellent. A very significant influence of rearing system on cow welfare was found (p<0.001). A significant influence of rearing system (p<0.01) on average daily milk yield, milk yield in standard lactation, milk fat (kg), yield of 4 % fat corrected milk and yield of proteins (kg) were noticed. The influence of the rearing system on milk fat content (%), dry matter (%), protein (%) and lactose (%) was not statistically significant. Differences between ANI score, daily and standard lactation milk yield were very significant (p<0.001), as well as differences between ANI and the amount of milk fat (kg), protein (kg) and amount of 4 % fat corrected milk.

“…Одним із ефективних методів поліпшення молочної продуктивності, морфо-функціональних властивостей вимені, відтворювальної здатності тварин, на думку деяких дослідників (Budimir et al, 2011;Bahrov, 2014), є схрещування корів симентальської породи з бугаями голштинської породи. Вони повідомляють, що використання генофонду голштинської породи дозволяє значно підвищити молочну продуктивність і поліпшити технологічні якості симентальської худоби.…”

Breeding and genetic features of simmental animals of different production types

The intensification of production in dairy farming has placed new demands on cattle breeds. Under the conditions of the introduction of high technologies of milk production, the essential features and characteristics of animals, such as a high level of productivity, suitability for machine milking, the ability to store high amounts of milk during two milkings, high manufacturability and reproductive capacity, resistance to diseases, duration of economic use, which ensure profitability its production. Non-compliance with the specified requirements of animals of the main breeds bred in Ukraine led to the beginning of a large-scale breeding process. Almost all traditional breeds, which in the recent past were considered among the best, turned out to be relatively low-yielding and unsuitable for use in high-tech milk production complexes. The Simmental breed with a dual direction of productivity has become such. The value of this breed lies in the fact that animals can harmoniously combine good milk production and good meat qualities, have excellent adaptation properties, strong constitution, and have high lifetime productivity in combination with long-term economic use. Simmentals more often than animals of other breeds, can give multiple births – twins. The article theoretically substantiates and proves the expediency of a complex study of economically valuable traits, their intergroup variability, and population-genetic parameters in cows of different Simmental breed production types in the Carpathian region conditions. The degree of influence of individual factors on the economically advantageous traits of animals and the relative variability of milk yield with morphological and biochemical indicators of blood and indices of lactation stability, calculated by various methods, were clarified.
