BGS INSTITUTIONAL PRESENTATION/ BREEDING PROGRAM
BALANCE
Brune Génétique Services (BGS) (Brown Swiss Genetic Services) brings together the Brown Swiss Herd Book and its selection programme, « BGS Creation ». This single breed structure, created in 1987, has many assets: joint decisions and breed direction, just one administrative and technical team, consistency in the promotion and communication of the Brown Swiss breed and strong support from breeders for BGS. >
About 70% of Brown Swiss cows are affiliated to all the BGS services. This is one of the strengths of the Brown Swiss organisation in France, thus contributing to the excellent reliability of the breeding values of sires assessed in this country.
Breeding program : small but robust! DURABILITY
BGS conducts a selection programme that is open and highly intense. The aim is to create a Brown Swiss cow that is ever more competitive: dairy potential, protein content, udder health, reproduction, longevity and a type that lasts, these are the main guidelines of advance. >
150 males are genotyped each year, but only 12 of them are eventually selected. Only the best of the best are marketed. In 2013, the ISU average of the group was 164 points!
FERTILITY+
BGS invests in the future by supporting innovative tools: genotyping of bulldams (350 carried out in 2013), helping in embryo transfer, semen sexing. This support makes it possible to increase the numbers of the best families of cows in France and enlarge the next generation of bull dams. BGS technicians monitor and mate about 800 females a year with the best Brown Swiss bulls available worldwide. Young bulls occupy an important position among the bull-sires.

The worldwide collaboration of Intergenomics started in 2011. The participating countries (Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland, Slovenia, USA and Canada) decided to pool their genotyping analyses. This made it possible to develop a joint genomic evaluation programme for the Brown Swiss breed at Interbull, based on a worldwide reference population of 5700 bulls tested on progeny.
This project has enabled significant advance to be made in the precision of genomic proofs, and the Brown Swiss is now positioned among the most competitive breeds. The expression of all young bulls in the proof charts of participating countries is a great step forward for choosing the best sires.
DURABILITY
Three years after it began, the Intergenomics project continues to innovate: it now authorises the pooling of all genotyping information available in the participating countries. France can now make a Brown Swiss genomic evaluation using the same approach as for the Holstein, MontbĂŠliarde and Normande breeds.

PERFORMANCE
EXPLANATION OF THE BROWN SWISS ISU PROOF Since June 2011, the ISU in the Brown Swiss breed has paid even more attention to functional criteria. The economic importance of health characteristics increases as herds grow in numbers. What is more, genetic advance on these traits is slower than on milk or udder because of lower heritability. So they have to be given more weight in ISU, which is the overall economic proof.
BALANCE
The genomic programme makes it possible to multiply genetic advance by 1.5 and even by 2! BGS intends to benefit from this advantage to create more balanced progress among all the traits, which is precisely the objective; a Brown Swiss cow that is productive, robust and durable. The ISU consolidates the assets of our breed!
The ISU formula in the Brown Swiss is therefore as follows ISU june 2013
STMA 20%
DURABILITY
REPRO 20%
FERTILITY+
IMS 15%
LGV 5%
INEL 40%
The INEL represents production with an accent on protein: MP (protein content) +0.2 MG (fat content) + TP (protein %) +0.5 TB (fat %) The IMS is the synthetic type index. It is calculated as follow: 40% MA (udder) + 25% DV (body capacity) + 10% BA (rump)+ 25% ME (feet and legs).
SEXED SEMEN
The LGV indicates longevity. It is one of the functional proofs as REPRO and STMA. REPRO is a reproduction index including fertility cow, heifers fertility, interval calving - first AI. It is calculated as follow: (0.50 FER + 0.25 FERG + 0.25IVIA1) / 0.6965
CROSS-BREEDING
STMA : This is the udder health index. It includes the Somatic Cell Count (CEL) and clinical mastitis (MACL). The formula is: STMA = (0.60 CELc + 0.40 MACLc) / 0.9137

PERFORMANCE BALANCE DURABILITY
THE FRENCH BROWN SWISS: A PERFECT BLEND! Positioning of the French Brown Swiss
FERTILITY+
French Brown Swiss genetics have a strong international flavour: BGS’s principle of opening up internationally is to ensure that the best bull sires are used in their programme, whatever their geographical origin: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, USA and Italy. This explains why the genealogies of French bulls often present unusual combinations which enable them to be widely used. The French Brown Swiss breed is outstanding at world level because it has one of the best levels in kilos of protein! The prime quality of French Brown Swiss cows is that they produce large quantities of protein-rich milk; selection on these traits has a very long history in the land of cheese!
SEXED SEMEN
French Brown Swiss cows are also well-known for their excellent morphology: size, power, capacity and feet and legs have been their strengths for decades. They are the perfect combination for achieving dairy strength, which is indeed the objective of the Brown Swiss programme. The quality of the udder systems is also a trait where spectacular advance has been made over the past 15 years. The best French animals are capable of excelling in European competitions! It must never be forgotten that the vast majority of Brown Swiss herds in France are concentrated on milk production in herds that are becoming increasingly large, and where selection on health and durability of the animals is very rigorous: the direction of the ISU is evidence of this. In this respect, the French Brown Swiss presents a very attractive alternative, especially in crossing on the Holstein breed.

PERFORMANCE BALANCE DURABILITY
10% OF THE BEST BROWN SWISS SIRES IN THE WORLD ARE FRENCH! The arrival of genomics is a wonderful opportunity for the French Brown Swiss! The greater intensity of selection of the BGS programme is showing results, with 10% of the best young bulls in the world (cf. table 1)!
FERTILITY+
Today, despite having a smaller female population than our European partners (cf. table 2), the French Brown Swiss offers many high level sires. BGS places many sires in the TOP 100 of all countries!

PERFORMANCE BALANCE
PERFORMANCE In order to bring a solution to your expectations, SERSIA - EVOLUTION INTERNATIONAL offers you a range of “Performance” bulls resolutely improved in form.
DURABILITY
In order to achieve this result, you use bulls high in milk proof, without eliminating a priori bulls weak in Functional Traits or in contents. You are convinced that the longevity of your cows is achieved through the quality of their mammary system and the solidity of their feet & Legs. You wish eventually that certain among them are distinguished by their level of production or their results in competition. This selection of “Performance” is composed of the bulls able to sustain your high level of production.

PERFORMANCE BALANCE
BALANCE In order to bring a solution to your expectations, SERSIA - EVOLUTION INTERNATIONAL offers you a range of “BALANCED” bulls, which are an ideal compromise between a balanced morphology and a goodperforming milk production.
DURABILITY
For you fertility is a key element in your choices of breeding, as are the development of your animals and locomotion.
SEXED SEMEN
FERTILITY+
The “BALANCED” bulls have the advantage of bringing together breeding cattle who at the same time are milk-producers and who provide high component milk. Another strong point in favour of this selection of bulls is the capacity to transmit a normal development and an increased fertility.

His dam Feleen comes from the Gazelle (Jinxson) bloodline of the Gaec Verdot and is one of the numerous very good daughters of Traction who are bull-dams in BGS Création. This family confirms in different herds and in several branches. This is the same bloodline as the bull Calween (Zaster x Poldi) the sire of the Miss BGS 2013 at Chatillon sur Seine. Huxion GNR comes from very well-planned matings: Huxoy x Traction x Poldi x Prelude x Dotson x Jinxson. His strengths are the udder, feet and legs and rump, as well as reproduction. He also secures production without compromising milk quality.

He could well be the next bull that everyone wants to use in their herd, just like the famous Traction. He has the same traits and is the foundation of great hopes: ideal udders, good balance of production and contents, favourable hardiness criteria and the confirmed family of Pirouette in the background. All the ingredients to generate the lasting Brown Swiss that makes his strength.

PERFORMANCE BALANCE
CROSSING WITH THE BROWN SWISS BREED
DURABILITY
Brown Swiss x Holstein Crosses: N°1 in Total Solids (MU: Usefull Matter) in front of the Holstein The Brown Swiss is the only dairy breed used in crossing on the Holstein capable of rivalling the Holstein in terms of productivity. With protein and fat contents appreciably higher, BR x HO crossbred animals exceed even the Holsteins in MU from +2 to +4%.
Health of the udders and the feet and legs In cross-breeding, the Brown Swiss brings its high resistance to infections: udder health is clearly improved, as well as the cell counts. The excellent structure of the feet of the Brown Swiss breed is very appreciable in BS x HO crosses. These two criteria of health enable crossbred animals to have a longer career.
FERTILITY+
Time gained with easy calvings The other great strength of the Brown Swiss is its excellent calving ease since 97.5% of calvings take place easily or without assistance. BR X HO crossed cows demonstrate this quality. There are also fewer losses of calves and they have much better vitality. Fertility: fewer unproductive days BSR x HO crossbreds also benefit from the heterosis effect as far as fertility is concerned. The conception rate is better, and the AI fertilisation calving interval is reduced: the productivity of the herd is improved!
SEXED SEMEN
Grazing systems, hot, arid zones, sub-tropical climates: the Brown Swiss adapts everywhere! The figures are here: Experimental farm – University of Halle (Germany) Milk (kg/day) Fat (%) Protein (%) Fat (kg) Protein (kg) Cell counts AI/Pregnancy
