New Zealand Polled Breeding Guide 2021 - 2022

New Zealand Index (NZI) explained The NZI is based on Farmer feedback on the economic values aiming to better represent the true cost on farm, but also ensuring traits have sufficient weighting to prevent a genetic slide in farmers key areas of concern.

Liveweight Farmers are looking for a medium size cow and don’t want to see a further slide in cow weight as this increases per cow costs and thus doesn’t increase overall farm efficiency.

There is also consideration about the beef value of surplus calves produced from the dairy industry.

Maintaining liveweight of the national herd and increasing per cow production better suits these industry pressures.

Under the current weighting the liveweight of the national herd will decrease each generation this would result in the production of even higher numbers of calves with even lower beef value.

Halving the liveweight penalty would see future generation remain of similar size to the current population while continuing to increase production per cow.

Litres Penalty Fonterra are dropping the capacity charge and the peak volume charges this mean the direct economic cost of extra litres is only the volume adjustment of 2.9 cents per litre this equates to less than 1/3 of the economic value in the BW. A litres penalty is still important part of breeding an efficient cow but halving the penalty better represents the true cost.

Fertility Currently fertility is weighted at a rate that shows a continual genetic slide for fertility in sires represented on the RAS list.

In order to avoid further decrease in fertility this the weighting has been doubled in the NZI. 2

Somatic Cell Somatic cell is on the rise in the sires represented on the RAS List. NZI has double the penalty to ensure genetic gain rather than decline in this area.

Udder Overall As a direct trait, Udder Overall has been added to allow direct selection on this trait rather than being part of residual survival.

Residual Survival In the NZI the economic weighting for residual survival has been halved.

As the direct traits that effect survival have been given increased direct weighting.

Body condition The economic cost used in the BW formula assumes cows are light at the end of lactation and require extra feed before calving. This has been reduced for the NZI as some of the implications body condition have been accounted for already in fertility.

Fat and Protein These traits are weighted the same as the national economic weightings.

“The Whole World Wants A Balanced Cow.” Dean Malcolm, New Zealand Livestock Specialist

Over the years of selling cattle in New Zealand and across the world, Dean Malcolm has seen growing sale results based on good genetics and no BW. The growing demand for a balanced cow with a good frame is growing, and Samen livestock is selling well.
