Synopsis

This book delves into the connection between the genetic heritage of a Holstein-Friesian sire, and the milk production of his daughters. The author, a leading authority on animal husbandry, explores how specific factors inherited from the sire can influence the milk yield and butterfat content of his offspring. The author utilizes extensive data from Holstein-Friesian Advanced Registry records to analyze the milking performance of over 400 sires. These sires are ranked by the milk yield and butterfat percentage of their daughters, providing a valuable resource for breeders seeking to improve their herds through selective breeding. The book also examines the relationship between a sire's inbreeding and the milk production of his daughters, making it an invaluable tool for understanding the genetic basis of milk production in Holstein-Friesian cattle.
