BETTER LIFE INDEXES IN PRACTICE With the introduction of CRV’s unique Better Life breeding indicators, producers have new tools to breed more efficient and healthier cows. In this article we focus on how these indicators can be used in practice. he new breeding indicators Better Life Efficiency and Better Life Health have been available since December 2013. The development of these new tools for breeding is a result of the vision on sustainability that CRV published in 2013. Bulls that will be on the chart in 2020 should be able to sire daughters that will live for a year longer compared to the current cows and heifers in the herd, have a feed efficiency that is 10% higher and have 10% fewer problems with hoof and udder health.

According to Joost Klein Herenbrink, CRV’s international product manager for Holsteins, the terms Better Life Efficiency and Better Life Health make it very clear what CRV’s breeding programmes are about: breeding cows that produce efficiently and without problems.

Whether they are Holsteins with typical dairy traits or dual-purpose Fleckvieh cows.

New era “With the launch of Better Life Efficiency and Better Life Health, CRV is starting a new era in dairy breeding. Now is the time to breed for feed efficiency and for fertility and health,” says Mr Klein Herenbrink. CRV bulls’ scores for the breeding indicators are also

available in the U.S. Brett Haines from North America says that CRV is well on its way to making a name for itself with this. Mr Haines is convinced that improving feed efficiency is of particular interest to U.S. producers. On many farms feed costs are a large part of the cost of producing milk, and the prices of purchased feed vary greatly and have been high during the past few years.

Direction to breeding “The current content of the breeding indicators for efficiency and health is only the start,” adds Mr Klein Herenbrink. The formulas will be extended and refined in the coming years as new breeding information becomes available. According to the product manager, what is more important than the exact calculation behind the new breeding

Tromp brothers: ‘More health, better longevity’ In autumn 2013 CRV introduced two new breeding indicators: Better Life Efficiency and Better Life Health. These indicators help producers to breed efficient and healthy trouble-free cows.

Better Life Efficiency indicates how much of the energy taken in a cow’s whole life is converted into milk. The following breeding values are currently incorporated: milk production, persistency, rate maturity, longevity, calving interval, body weight and feed intake.

Daughters of a bull with high efficiency produce more milk per kilogramme of feed. A bull with a score of +5% gives you an economic advantage of CAN $ 315 in the lives of its daughters.

Better Life Health is the percentage of healthier animals compared to the population average. The indicator currently includes the following breeding values: udder health, claw health, calving ease, viability, daughter fertility and ketosis. The resulting percentage lies between 0 and 100.

The higher the number, the higher the percentage of healthy animals compared to the population average.

The advantage of using bulls with a high score for health is that the herd is easier to manage and that cows reach a higher average age.

Daughters of a bull scoring +5 give you an advantage of CAN $ 110 during a cow’s life.

indicators, is the direction they can give to breeding. For example, in the Dutch/Flemish breeding programme, no animals are used with a negative score for either breeding indicator. According to Mr Klein Herenbrink, the use of bulls also shows the shift in interest of producers. “Efficiency and health are really coming to life in practice,” he says.

Business objectives The new breeding indicators Better Life Health and Better Life Efficiency help producers around the globe to achieve their business objectives. The ambition of the Tromp brothers is to grow. There is a strong focus on efficiency and, particularly, on healthy cows.

The Tromp brothers’ unit is an excellent example of how breeding indicators can be used in practice. Table 1 shows the bulls that are currently used by the brothers. It also shows the corresponding Better Life Health and Efficiency indexes of the bulls used.

Based on the general assumptions (see text box), a financial value is calculated as well.

This is subsequently used to calculate an average.

The current bull package has an average score of 4.3 for Better Life Health and 7.3 for Better Life Efficiency. This currently gives the brothers an advantage compared to an average herd of €391 (€61 + €330) per cow in a cow’s lifetime.

The Tromp brothers add that they want to give more attention to health. The bulls from the top health package (see Table 2) have an average score of 8.4 for Better Life Health; an increase of more than four points compared to the current bull package. In addition, the average Better Life Efficiency index of the bull package will increase from the current 7.3 to 8.8. When the Tromp brothers use the bulls from the top health package, this will yield a return of €511 (€117 + €394) per cow in a cow’s lifetime. So compared to the current bull package, the brothers will have a financial advantage of €120 per cow in a cow’s lifetime.

With the current farm size of 180 cows, the brothers will earn more than €21,000.

Tromp brothers: “More health, better longevity” Cricket, Improver, Stellando, Direct and Titanium: five bulls that are currently on the insemination list of brothers Arjan and Court Tromp and that all have high scores for health. “We want to improve the health of the cows – they need to get older,” Arjan explains.

In Houwerzijl, the Netherlands, the brothers started to use a new cow house in 2013. It’s a completely automated set up with milking robots, scraper robots and feeding robot, as well as activity monitoring. “The increase labour efficiency, we have used all the tools available to us for automation.”

The size of the herd, currently 180 cows, will also increase during the next few years. “We want cows that get older, because that will allow us to grow to 280 cows, which will fit into our new system.” In addition to this strategy, automated milking also requires adjustments in breeding. “The rear teats, for example, cannot be too close together.”

Udder and hoof health In their choice of bulls, the brothers’ emphasis is on milk constituents and the important health traits. “Udder and hoof health in particular need to be improved. They are essential to smooth and regular visits to the milking robot. The current package of bulls has positive scores for this.” Arjan adds that, in addition, they also like to milk cows with good fat and protein. “Milk production has increased from 800 to 1000 Arjan and Court Tromp use Better Life health indicator to improve the health of their cows

litres and I expect a further increase in the coming years, but I would like to keep the fat and protein contents at the same level.”

In addition to reliable breeding bulls, Arjan says he has a lot of confidence in the young InSire bulls. “For me, it is about the figures; when they look good, the bull will get a chance.”

After selecting the bulls, SireMatch makes the final choice for each cow or heifer. “This prevents inbreeding and also ensures the best match.”

The current course has the brothers right on track. The breeding overview shows that the breeding values for health of the young stock are increasing. So the pair have unwittingly already taken the course to Better Life Health. “Our young stock look robust and healthy. We hope that they will provide us with a full barn as soon as possible.”

ROBOT MILKING IN THE NETHERLANDS CRV is one of the largest AI companies in the world with offices and breeding programs in every corner of the world. The last 10 years CRV has developed itself from a Dutch-based export organization to an innovative world-wide player in the genetics market.

One of CRV’s innovations was the early implementation of a Robot Ranking index, to define which bulls sire daughters that are more suitable for voluntary milking systems. This ranking is already present for quite some years and is used by many customers in the Netherlands. The country with the highest milking robot-to-cow ratio in the world. Almost 1 in 6 dairy operations in the Netherlands use milking robots, making it very important to breed for cows who are suitable for milk robots.

A short overview of the facts in the Netherlands are in the table below.

CRV ROBOT RANKING The CRV Robot Ranking was developed to indicate bulls that are most suitable for milking in the robot milking systems. Only the highest bulls of CRV are given the R-indication for the Robot Ranking when they score well on their breeding values for milking speed, udder health, feet and legs, teat length and teat placement (front and rear).

2010

The CRV Robot Ranking is build up as follows:

BETTER LIFE HEALTH Herds are becoming larger, cattle farmers have a wider range of job responsibilities, and therefore there is a great demand for a trouble-free herd. With Better Life Health, a healthier, trouble-free, and easily manageable herd can be bred. The treatment of individual animals takes considerably less work and you can focus on herd management.

Better Life Health is the percentage of healthier animals

5% ADDITIONAL HEALTH IN A BULL

2% FEWER DISEASES IN DESCENDANTS

BETTER LIFE EFFICIENCY Efficiency is one of the most important factors for modern breeding. Better Life Efficiency contributes to a better use of feed and to lower feed costs. It is an indicator for the efficiency of the dairy cow to convert feed into milk during her lifetime. The more milk that is produced per pound of feed,

compared to the population average. The index uses the following breeding values: udder health, claw health, birth ease, calving ease, viability, daughter fertility and ketosis.

The higher the number, the higher the percentage of healthy animals compared to the population average. The advantage of the use of bulls with a high score for health is that the herd is easier to manage and that cows reach a higher average age. Daughters of a bull with +5% give you an advantage of CAN $ 110,- in a cows life.

the better the efficiency of the bull. The following breeding values are incorporated: milk production, persistency, rate maturity, longevity, calving interval, body weight and feed intake. The higher the score the higher the efficiency.

Daughters with high efficiency produce more milk per pound of feed. A bull with a score of +5% gives you an economic advantage of CAN $ 315 - in the lives of its daughters.
