ADHIS Notification of Haplotypes Fertility is a complicated trait and is influenced by many genes. Scientists have found some interesting patterns in the DNA of dairy cattle, known as haplotypes. These haplotypes are linked with a recessive gene thought to cause early embryonic loss. While research continues in this area, farmers can be assured that the existing tools such as Daughter Fertility ABVs and ABV(g)s and Semen Fertility Values already account for the presence of haplotypes and remain the best tools for selecting bulls for better fertility. Haplotypes are now regularly published in overseas countries by genetic evaluation organisations and bull companies. There is variation in how the data is published. For example, Canada use the term ‘carrier probability’ and the result is expressed as a percentage (ie 99% carrier probability) while the USDA use the term ‘haplotype status’ expressed as ‘JH1’ etc. ADHIS has prepared a range of material for both the website and broader distribution regarding the issue of haplotypes. Figure 3 illustrates an example haplotype report that is expected to be made publically available on the ADHIS website following the April 2012 ABV release. For more information click here |
