ABS & LIC SIGN EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

ABS Global Inc. (ABS), a division of Genus plc (GNS:LSE), a global pioneer in animal genetics, today announces an exclusive distribution agreement with New Zealand farmer-owned cooperative, Livestock Improvement Corporation (LIC), the international provider of elite pasture-based dairy genetics.

From January 2018, ABS will now supply and market these grassland genetics in the United States.

Nate Zwald, ABS COO comments,“The addition of LIC’s pasture-based genetics to ABS adds to our industry-leading position with our Holstein, Jersey and HYVIG programs, and shows our commitment to delivering the type of animals that our clients desire. We are excited about the new herds that our agreement with LIC and their product line-up attracts, and are looking forward to servicing them through the familiar LIC representation, and the broader ABS team.”

“We admire ABS‘s long history of commitment to the success of dairy producers. They make for a logical partner for LIC, not only because of their extensive marketing network but, because of our mutual desire to help producers make genetic progress to reach their goals,” said Trina Dunning, LIC International Manager.

LIC’s current representative in the United States, Wayne Meyers will continue to service U.S. customers through ABS.

“Wayne Meyers and LIC have helped their customers reach their goals for years through their genetics and solutions, which aligns with our goals at ABS to help our customers profit from genetic progress through our commitments to technology and genetic selection,” said Andy Zich, North American Marketing and Communications Manager for ABS.

Herds utilizing pasture-based dairy genetics or considering using the program can now look to ABS as the source in the United States.

UNDERSTANDING NEW ZEALAND BULL DATAAcross all Breed EvaluationThe bull data in this catalogue is displayed across all breeds; this is in line with how the New Zealand Animal Evaluation (NZAEL) unit and LIC rank New Zealand dairy animals.

Because many LIC customers here in the USA and around the world select genetics from multiple breeds for optimal herd performance, it is important for farmers to understand how an animal should perform within the whole herd, not just within one breed of the herd.

LIC believe that an across all breed evaluation is the best tool to help you make breeding choices geared toward making your herd the most profitable it can be.

Traits Other than ProductionAssessing the AnimalTraits Other than Production (TOP) refer to the behaviour, temperament and physical attributes of a cow and are scored separately on a scale from one to nine. The four farmer-scored and 14 inspector-scored TOP traits are considered very important in relation to the overall efficiency of dairy cattle.

Undesirable Average Desirable

Data ProcessingThe raw data is then sent through to the New Zealand Animal Evaluation unit where within herd, region and national comparisons are analysed and processed. This information is then fed into the national database as breeding values for sires.

The average raw TOP scores of the 2005 base cow are as follows.

Base CowThe New Zealand Base Cow is the genetic reference point used to determine Breeding Worth (BW) and Breeding Values (BV) for all New Zealand dairy cattle.

All of the bull information in this catalogue is recorded relative to the 2005 Base Cow – the average of 21,585 cows born in the year 2005 – whose production and TOP (traits other than production) data has been set to zero. Each cow has been TOP inspected and herd tested at least four times to deliver an accurate result.

ProductionProduction is reported on their 270-day lactation yields relative to 5t Dry Matter:

Fat kg 218 Volume (litres) 4595

Protein kg 174 Liveweight kg 500

Once-A-DayOnce-a-day Milking (OAD) is the practice of milking cows once during a 24-hour period. Most NZ Dairy farmers milk twice-a-day (TAD), although the numbers milking OAD is increasing. The OAD milking regime may be used exclusively as the overall farming system, or strategically for part of the herd or for shorter periods during the season.

Once-a-Day Milking Selection Index (OADSI)LIC has developed a OADSI to help OAD farmers breed animals most suitable to their system. In June 2015, the index was overhauled after considerable consultation with the OAD community. The new index has a strong correlation to Breeding Worth (BW) but also combines four functional traits that farmers told us dictated the survival of a cow in a OAD herd:• Udder support• Front teat placement• Milking speed• Capacity

The index also has less emphasis on Fertility and Residual Survival because these traits are less of an issue to OAD farmers. Our goal is to support OAD farmers in breeding cows that persist throughout the lactation and have longevity in the herd.

NZ EVALUATION DATAManagement. Farmers assess a sire’s progeny based on four management traits, which are then scored relative to the base cow. For example, a positive Milking Speed BV, indicates a bull should sire daughters that milk faster than both the base cow and daughters of bulls with a BV of 0.00.Conformation. Inspectors assess a sire’s progeny based on fourteen conformation traits (includes Weight and Body Condition Score), which are then compared to the base cow. For example, a positive Stature BV means a bull should sire taller daughters than a bull with a score of 0.00.

NZ BREEDING VALUESMilk Volume. NZAEL Breeding Values (BV) are normally calculated across all breeds. Therefore Holstein-Friesians have higher Milk Volume BVs than Jerseys. A BV of 1476 litres indicates the bull will produce daughters that are genetically superior than the average Holstein-Friesian by 738 litres of milk.

Fat and Protein. A BV of 34 kg indicates that the bull will produce daughters which on average, are genetically superior to the base cow by 17kg per 5t DM consumed.

Somatic Cell Count. A useful approximation for farmers to note, is that a difference between two sires of 0.5 in breeding value equates to a difference in expected daughter performance of 35,000 bulk milk count. The lower the SCC BV the better as you want to reduce the bulk milk.

Fertility. A BV of -0.7% indicates that 0.3% less daughters are expected to calve in the first 42 days of a herds calving period, compared to a bull of 0.New Zealand has been able to achieve the tightest calving interval worldwide. Highly fertile cows have been necessary to achieve this. It is generally accepted that the New Zealand base cow is far more fertile than any other countries base.

Total Longevity. A BV of 339 days indicates the bull’s daughters are expected to last in the herd for 169 days longer, compared to a bull with a BV of 0 days.

Calving Difficulty. A sire’s Calving Difficulty Breeding Value (BV) compares the percentage of assisted calvings expected when he is mated to yearling heifers.

Gestation Length. A bull with a GL of -0.9 days indicates that, on average, his calves will be born half-a-day earlier than the calves of a bull with a BV of 0.

BW/RELBreeding Worth (BW) ranks bulls by their expected ability to breed profitable replacements.

Using this bull with a BW of 140 indicates that per 5t dry matter his daughters are expected to generate NZD$140 more net profit than using a bull with a BW of 0.

The reliability of a sire is a measure of the amount of information behind the bulls BW. The higher the reliability the less movement expected with his BW.
