Linking first lactation survival to milk yield and components and lactation persistency in Tunisian Holstein cows

Genetic parameters were estimated for first lactation survival defined as a binary trait (alive or dead to second calving) and the curve shape traits of milk yield, fat and protein percentages using information from 25 981 primiparous Tunisian Holsteins. For each trait, shape curves (i.e. peak lacta...

description Genetic parameters were estimated for first lactation survival defined as a binary trait (alive or dead to second calving) and the curve shape traits of milk yield, fat and protein percentages using information from 25 981 primiparous Tunisian Holsteins. For each trait, shape curves (i.e. peak lactation, persistency), level of production adjusted to 305 days in milk (DIMs) for total milk yield (TMY), and average fat (TF %) and protein (TP %) percentages were defined. Variance components were estimated with a linear random regression model under three bivariate animal models. Production traits were modelled by fixed herd  [Formula: see text]  test-day (TD) interaction effects, fixed classes of 25 DIMs  [Formula: see text]  age of calving  [Formula: see text]  season of calving interaction effects, fixed classes of pregnancy, random environment effects and random additive genetic effects. Survival was modelled by fixed herd  [Formula: see text]  year of calving interaction effects and age of calving  [Formula: see text]  season of calving interaction effects, random permanent environment effects, and random additive genetic effects. Heritability ([Formula: see text]) estimates were 0.03 ([Formula: see text]) for survival and 0.23 ([Formula: see text]), 0.31 ([Formula: see text]) and 0.31 ([Formula: see text]) for TMY, TF % and TP %, respectively. Genetic correlations between survival and TMY, TF % and TP % were 0.26 ([Formula: see text]), [Formula: see text]  ([Formula: see text]) and [Formula: see text]  ([Formula: see text]), respectively. Genetic correlations between survival and persistency for fat and protein percentages were  [Formula: see text]  ([Formula: see text]) and  [Formula: see text]  ([Formula: see text]), respectively. Cows that had higher persistencies for fat and protein percentages were more likely not to survive.
