Newcomers to genomic sire rankings

摘要

There were 10 newcomers in the top 20 genomic young sire list released by AHDB Dairy last month, and 10 bulls with the same prefix.And although Denovo has an impressive, possibly unprecedented, 10 of the top 20 bulls on this profitable lifetime index (￡PLl) ranking, it is Genosource Captain which retains his position as the front-runner, with a PLI of ￡880.Captain combines high predicted transmitting abilities (PTAs) for production (1,002kg milk, 48.5kg fat and 34.8kg protein) with superb maintenance feed cost figures (-15), as well as high daughter fertility index (11.6).
