1. A statistical analysis has been made of lactation records from 500 dam-daughter pairs of the Ayrshire breed. Measurements were taken of milk yield, fat, S.N.F., crude protein, casein and lactose.2. A correction was made for the age of the cow. This contributed a substantial fraction of the total variation for milk yield, S.N.F. and lactose contents. Month of calving had a trivial effect on the lactation average for the characters when compared with the individual variation between cows.3. After correction for age, the variation between lactations was highest for fat content (standard deviation 0·35%) and slightly less for S.N.F. (0·26%).4. The heritability was estimated by the dam-daughter correlation within herds. Values in the neighbourhood of 0·5 were obtained for S.N.F., crude protein, casein and ‘ash’ (determined by difference), about 0·35 for fat and lactose, 0·25 for milk yield and 0·13 for non-casein nitrogen.5. The phenotypic correlations between yield and lactose were positive for both dam and daughter groups. The correlations between yield and the other constituents were more negative in the daughter group than in the dam group. The correlation between yield and S.N.F. was, in fact, positive in the latter. The correlation between fat and S.N.F. averaged 0·36, being derived mainly from the correlation between fat and casein (0·43), though that with lactose was also positive (0·13).6. The variation in S.N.F. was mostly determined by that in casein (r=0·85). There was a positive correlation between lactose and casein (0·24), and a negative one between lactose and non-casein nitrogen (–0·41). Lactose was negatively correlated with ‘ash’ (–0·31). ‘Ash’ was positively correlated with non-casein nitrogen (0·23)7. There were positive and significant genetic correlations between casein and both fat and lactose, and that between the last two was almost significant.8. No significant genetic correlations were found between yield and the chemical constituents, although figures of practical importance may exist which did not reach significance in an experiment of this size.9. The practical significance of these results is discussed. It is concluded that selection for yield alone is not likely to cause any great decline in S.N.F. content of the milk, and that this could probably be held in check by paying some attention to the fat content of the milk.

A key factor in realizing the genetic potential of animal productivity is their complete feeding, in the organization of which the leading role belongs to the intensive system of feed production and the feed industry including the development of different balancing additives. In highly productive herds it is most problematic to balance the rations of down-calving cows and after their calving, since there is a physiological limitation of feed consumption and as a result a lack of energy and nutrients. At this stage there is a negative energy balance. After calving (and in general during the period of increasing the milk yield) to achieve high milk yields it is necessary to provide animals with feed of increased energy value, such as concentrates. However, high consumption of concentrated feed leads to acidosis and other diseases, which is accompanied by a decrease in milk yield and fertility. Special feed supplies are required to replenish energy. Due to the relevance and practical significance of the issue we have carried out a research aimed at studying the effect of the energy additive Tirzana BSK on the productivity of Ayrshire cows. The results of research on the use of the energy energy additive Tirzana BSK during late dry period and during the period of increasing the milk yield for Ayrshire cows with the yield of 8800 kg per lactation have been presented in the article. It has been found that the introduction of Tirzana BSK contributes to increasing milk productivity, reducing expenditures of feed per unit of production and reducing the time from calving to effective insemination. It has been experimentally proved that it is more effective to use the additive from late dry period to the middle of the period increasing the milk yield, which determines an increase in milk yield by 12,4 %, a reduction in the duration of the open days period by 19 days, and the increase in the profitability of milk production from 25,1 to 31,7 %.

The milk composition responses in five feeding trials were as follows.1. A study of silage quality showed that the fat content was lower (39.9 v. 43.1 g/kg, s.e. of difference 1.00) and the protein content was higher (35.0 v. 33.7 g/kg, s.e. of difference 0.48) with silage cut three times per season compared with silage cut twice per season.2. Silage offered as a buffer food overnight in the early part of the grazing season reduced milk yield (18.9 v. 19.9 kg/day, s.e. of difference 0.26) and increased fat content (39.4 v. 35.6 g/kg, s.e. of difference 0.50) when compared with grazing only. Silage offered in the late grazing season did not affect milk yield but increased fat content(44.1 v. 41.3 g/kg, s.e. of difference 0.94). There was no significant effect on protein content.3. A concentrate containing 18 g crude protein/kg was offered at rates of 0.30, 0.375 and 0.45 kg/kg milk plus silage ad libitum. The fat contents were 38.0, 38.6 and 36.1 g/kg and the protein contents 30.3, 31.2 and 32.1 g/kg, respectively.4. In two experiments comparing flat-rate concentrate feeding with feeding according to yield, no significant differences were found in milk yield, fat and protein contents.5. In a study of body condition at calving, cows calving at score 2 had milk fat contents similar to cows calving at score 3 but there were differences in the fatty acid composition of the milks. The cows calving at score 2 produced milk with a higher protein content than those at score 3 (32.8 v. 30.7 g/kg, s.e. of difference 0.85).

SUMMARYFirst lactation records from 971 daughters of 93 Red Danish Milk-breed bulls exported as pregnant heifers from Denmark to 4 Bulgarian and 21 Czechoslovakian herds were analysed and compared to results from corresponding half-sib groups under Danish field progeny tests. Average butterfat production in East European tests was 75% of that in Danish tests.The results indicate that the true genetic variance and the heritabilities for milk yield, fat content and butterfat yield are higher under the Danish conditions than under the corresponding East European conditions. The genetic correlations between the two environments are estimated to be 0·91, 0·97 and 0·79 for milk yield, fat content and butterfat yield, respectively. Because of insufficient correction for environmental effects, these estimates are considered to be lower than the true parameters.It is concluded that selection of proven sires in the Danish main population for use in the small East European subpopulations will result in a higher genetic improvement rate than will sire testing and selection within the subpopulations.

Purpose: Assessment of the quality of the well-producing groups, the productivity of candidates for the first lactation, the possibility of using genomically estimated cows to increase the parameters of mothers of future bulls, to analyze the quality of the offspring of bulls of various origins.Materials and methods. Research was performed on the basis of breeding plants Karelia Megrega (1455 cows) and Ilinskoe (1200 cows). Analyzed the productivity of bob-producing groups isolated on trivials. 66 Genomically estimated flaws were delivered from Finland after calving for milk productivity for the first lactation with local peers. In assessing the quality of the offspring of producers of different origin, the productivity of 1441 of the daughter of imported bulls and 620 daughters of domestic bulls took place. The degree of differences was assessed by the results of biometric processing of indicators.Results. At the Ilyinskoye dairy farm, the milk yield for lactation of cows of the bull-producing group is 11977 kg of milk with a fat content of 4.33%, protein content of 3.22%. There are 11119 kg of milk at the Megrega farm, 4.42% and 3.23%, respectively. A significant number of individuals (14.7-19.8%) with a milk yield above 9,000 kg of milk, which are a source of replenishment of bull-producing groups, were identified at breeding farms among the first heifers. The possibility of forming and improving the quality of bull-producing groups of cows at the expense of their own livestock is noted, provided that the factors of feeding and keeping animals, increasing the fat content and protein content of milk are optimized.Comparison of productivity indicators of imported "genomic" cows with local peers gave mixed results. At the Ilyinskoye farm, "genomic" cows significantly outperformed subjects of conventional breeding in all indicators: milk yield by 796-903 kg of milk, fat content by 0.27%, protein content by 0.09-0.06%, fat production by 59.4-63.8 kg, protein production by 33.9-34.8 kg, live weight by more thanAt the Megrega farm, in terms of fat content and production, "genomic" individuals also significantly outperformed local peers, and in milk yield and protein content, the differences were unreliable. Genomic evaluation of animals and the involvement of "genomic" cows can contribute to the formation of better groups of mothers of future bulls, especially to solve the most urgent problem of increasing fat and protein milk.Conclusion. In the conditions of large dairy breeding complexes with the technology of loose maintenance, it is advisable to use a system for placing groups of bull mothers in comfortable conditions in special rooms, including individual service.

The article presents results of selection efficiency of potential parents in Ayrshire breed using IAYR multiple-factor selection index, which includes productivity traits such as milk yield, fat and protein yield and integrated exterior parametres: UDC udder index and FLC leg index. As an original data array, a sample was generated with parameters for milk productivity and exterior characteristics of 574 Ayrshire first-calf heifers, which are daughters of 21 bulls from the leading breeding farm of Leningrad region. Calculation of phenotypic and genetic correlations was carried out in the course of the study, which revealed the greatest paratypical relationship between milk yield and fat yield rp = 0.912 at p <0.001, and the highest genetic relationship was noted between milk yield and protein yield rg = 0.960 at p <0.001. A high value of heritability coefficient for milk yield was established, which amounted to h2 = 0.506, which is connected with usage of imported servicing bulls with high genetic potential for herd reproduction. To determine the values of index weight coefficients, the variance and covariance components of variability of the studied parametres were calculated. Economic components of the parametres included in the developed equation are formed. As a result of selection modeling with an intensity of 10% according to the constructed equation of the productive-exterior index IAYR, a significant and reliable advantage in milk production by 1899 kg of milk was established in comparison with other animals, in terms of fat yield - by 64.7 kg and protein yield - by 51.7 kg.

Employees (N = 170) of a City Hall in Italy were administered a questionnaire measuring collective efficacy (CE), perceptions of context (PoC), and organizational commitment (OC). Two facets of collective efficacy were identified, namely group and organizational. Structural equation models revealed that perceptions of top management display a stronger relationship with organizational collective efficacy, whereas employees’ perceptions of their colleagues and their direct superior are related to collective efficacy at the group level. Group collective efficacy had a stronger relationship with affective organizational commitment than did organizational collective efficacy. The theoretical significance of this study is in showing that CE is two-dimensional rather than unidimensional. The practical significance of this finding is that the PoC model provides a framework that public sector managers can use to increase the efficacy of the organization as a whole as well as the individual groups that compose it.

The article shows the state of Ukrainian Whiteheaded cattle, which includes distribution of cattle, the number of animals belonging to respective bloodlines, evaluation of young animals with live weight in the process of growing and milk production of cows during the first lactation. It reflects the historic development of the breed when it was colonism whiteheaded cattle, which turned into the original breed, undergone a significant expansion in livestock and increase of productivity, decreased in the number, was as basis for creation of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed and now bred only in one breeding farm. Visual estimation of animal exterior showed good development of cows and calves and their belonging to the dairy type. In the vast majority the cows of the herd have a black suit, a white head with " glasses" around the eyes, white belly, udder, lower legs and brush of the tail. The youngsters aren’t consolidated by the exterior, and among them there are animals which are not typical for Ukrainian Whiteheaded breed. The young animals have some lag in live weight behind the breed standard [12] to 7 months’ age with exceeding of this trait in certain periods quite significantly in the future. It was established that selection of heifers on live weight will be effective at the early age (1-5 months), given the coefficient of variation of live weight – 22,63-30,21% and will not have a significant influence in the future. Milk yields of first-calf heifers vary considerably depending on the origin. The milk yield of first-calf heifers in the herd was 4238,5 kg on average, the heifers belonging to Mart 171 and Ozon 417 bloodlines had the best milk performance – 4483,1 and 4254,9 kg accordingly. The most aligned milk yield during the first lactation was in the cows belonging to Ozon 417 bloodline, the limits of the trait are 4128,5-4327,4 kg with the average value by the line 4254,9 kg. In contrast, the first-calf heifers of Ryezvyi 33 bloodline with average milk yield 4048,9 kg had limits of the trait 2199,3-4736,1 kg. Even greater range in cows’ milk yield during the first lactation R= 4939 kg (limits 1687 – 6626 kg) is characterized for the herd in general, it shows, on the one hand, the possibility of qualitative improvement of cows’ productivity due to selection on the investigated trait and lack of selection in the herd on the other hand. It was established that daughters of bull Chardash belonging to Ryezvyi 33 bloodline produced 4736,1 kg of milk for 305 days of the first lactation with fat content 3,6%, whereas Zlak’s descendants of the same line were characterized by the lowest milk yield for the first completed lactation – 2199,3 kg with fat content 3,7% and the average value by the line – 4048,9 kg of milk, fat content 3,6%. Similar variability of first-calf heifers’ milk yields, depending on the origin, is typical for other bloodlines of Ukrainian Whiteheaded breed. To increase milk productivity of Ukrainian Whiteheaded cows is recommended to repeat successful combinations of parental forms, and to preserve the breed – to carry out an objective assessment of animals by a range of traits, given the efficiency of selection of heifers on live weight at early age.

The main goal of dairy breeds selection should be improving breeding and productive qualities of animals under modern conditions. The majority of farms, using native breeds to produce milk, has created optimal conditions for keeping and feeding, selection and matching, growing of replacements etc. Further improvement of created native dairy breeds for economically useful traits occurs at total use of purebred Holstein bulls (semen) of foreign selection. In order to realistically assess milk productivity (milk yield, fat content in milk and fat yield) of Ukrainian Black-and-White and Red-and-White Dairy cows should be conducted a comparative analysis of Holstein cows under the same conditions of feeding and keeping. It was established that Ukrainian Red-and-White Dairy cows were characterized by the highest milk yields for 305 days of all lactations, taken into account, the among three investigated breeds. Their milk yield during the first lactation was 5933 kg of milk, during the second – 6393 kg, the third – 6391 kg and during higher lactation – 6650 kg. Ukrainian Black-and-White Dairy cows were second by milk yield (except for the second lactation), during the first lactation – 5932 kg of milk, the third – 6462 kg and higher – 6541 kg, and Holstein cows were third, during the first lactation – 5794 kg of milk, the second – 6381 kg, the third – 6335 kg and higher – 6469 kg. The fat content was almost the same and varied within 3.49-3.58% in milk of Ukrainian Red-and-White Dairy cattle, 3.50-3.60% in milk of Ukrainian Black-and-White Dairy cattle and 3.50-3.56% in Holsteins’ milk. The difference between the breeds was within 0.01-0.04%. All the investigated breeds had predominance in fat yield for three lactations over standards of these breeds: Ukrainian Red-and-White Dairy cows from 75.1 to 93.4 kg, Ukrainian Black-and-White Dairy cows – 75.1-89.0 kg respectively and Holstein cows – 41.9-60.2 kg. It was found different level of positive correlation between milk yield and fat yield in all the cases and high correlation (r = 0.604-0.921, P < 0.001) in five cases (41.7%) Negative correlation coefficients indicate that selection of animals to higher milk yield in the herd will decrease the second trait – fat content in milk. Positive and highly significant correlation between milk yield and fat yield indicates that selection of cows in the herd to higher milk yields will increase fat yield. It was revealed that bulls were among the factors impacted the milk productivity (milk yield, fat content, fat yield) of three investigated breeds. So, the force (η²x) of father’s impact on milk yield was15.4-47.9%, fat content – 22.0-43.4% and fat yield – 14.9-47.7% taking into account a lactation and a breed. The force of lines impact (η²x) was second; it was on milk yield 6.1-24.5%, fat content – 4.1-17.1 and fat yield – 5.8-23.5%. The force of breeds impact (η²x) was last; it was on milk yield 0.3-2.9%, fat content – 0.2-0.3% and fat yield – 0.6-2.7%. So, the comparative studies of milk productivity of Ukrainian Red-and-White and Black-and-White Dairy cattle with Holsteins indicate that under similar conditions of feeding and keeping, these native breeds can compete with Holstein cattle. The milk yield for 305 days of higher lactation was 6650 kg of milk in Ukrainian Red-and-White Dairy cows, 6541 kg in Ukrainian Black-and-White Dairy cows and 6469 kg in Holsteins. It was found the inverse correlation r = -0.025-0.316 between milk yield and fat content in milk in most cases. Selection and matching of animals in the herd should be carried out simultaneously on these traits. It was found positive repeatability of milk yields between the first and second, the third and higher lactations (rs = 0.036-0.741), indicating the reliability of forecasting increase in milk productivity during the next lactations in all herd. Bulls have the greatest impact (η²x) on milk productivity among the factors taken into account: milk yield – 15.4-47.9%, fat content in milk – 22.0-43.4% and fat yield – 14.9-47.7%.

The characteristic of milk productivity of cows of Holstein and Simmental breeds in LLC “Sibirskaya Niva” in the Maslyaninsky district in the Novosibirsk region has been given. It has been revealed that under the natural and climatic environments of the Western Siberia, when creating favorable conditions for feeding and housing for cows of Holstein and Simmental breeds have sufficiently high milk productivity. It has been found that Holstein first-calf heifers surpassed their Simmental herdmates by 959 kg in milk yield for the first 305 days of lactation under the same conditions of housing and feeding, by 3,1 kg in daily milk yield, by 38,2 kg in milk fat yield, and by 28,3 kg in milk protein yield (P < 0,001). There were no statistically significant differences between animals of Holstein and Simmental breeds in terms of fat and protein content in milk, which amounted to 3,94 and 2,96 % in Holstein breed and 3,97 and 2,98 % in Simmental breed, respectively. Both breeds have shown high milk productivity during the first 3 lactations. Thus, the milk yield of Holstein cows for the first 3 lactation was 6475–9290 kg, Simmental cows it was 5516–7680 kg, fat content was 3,93–3,99 and 3,96–3,97 %, respectively. The protein content in the milk of cows of both breeds did not exceed 3,0 %. High variability has been found in milk yield, yield of milk fat and protein, the coefficient of milk content and duration of lactation, the lowest in the content of protein and fat in milk and live weight. The correlation coefficients between the fat and protein content in milk were generally positive, but did not exceed 0,28. Therefore, breeding in the herd of cows in LLC “Sibirskaya Niva” have to be conducted not only by fat content, but also by protein content in milk.
