The project aims are to use the information about cow's DNA profile to estimate the severity of fertility problems caused by specific genetic defects in the Swedish Red (SRB) and Holstein dairy breeds, and to estimate the economic impact of pregnancy losses caused by these genetic defects. Our goal is that the increased knowledge of known genetic defects will provide a more reliable basis for avoiding matings between carriers of specific defects, as well as to enable a selection against the causative haplotypes in practical cattle breeding and thus strengthen the dairy industry's competitiveness, sustainability and public perception. The project is an in-depth study within the ongoing SLF-funded Swedish part of the Nordic fertility project. We will work with the already collected material, augmented by Växa’s cow database and genotypes. Research funding is intended to finance the last two years of a PhD for the licentiate student within the project, Patricia Ask-Gullstrand.
Projektets syfte är att använda information om kornas DNA-profil för att skatta hur stora fruktsamhetsproblem som specifika genetiska defekter hos SRB och holstein orsakar. Vi kommer att göra en uppskattning av de ekonomiska konsekvenserna av dräktighetsförlusterna som de olika genetiska defekterna ger. Målet är att den ökade kunskapen om kända genetiska defekter ska ge ett säkrare underlag för att undvika parningar mellan bärare av defekterna, samt möjliggöra en selektion mot de bakomliggande haplotyperna som kan tillämpas i praktisk avelsvärdering. På så sätt kan såväl konkurrenskraft, hållbarhet som konsumenternas förtroende för mjölknäringen stärkas. Projektet är en fördjupad studie inom den SLF-finansierade svenska delen av det Nordiska fruktsamhetsprojektet. Vi kommer att arbeta med redan insamlat material, utökat med Växas kodatabas och genotyper. Forskningsmedlen ska finansiera de två sista åren av en doktorsexamen för licentianden inom projektet, Patricia Ask-Gullstrand.

In Sweden, fertilization recommendations are based on results obtained from the P-AL (ammonium lactate) soil test, which is supposed to provide the potentially available phosphorus (P). There are known deficiencies with this method, for example that it is poorly suited to determine the availability …
