2012 SIRE CATALOGUE

What an incredible time to be part of the dairy industry – never before has the future looked so exciting for New Zealand’s dairy genetics. Nowhere is this better exemplified than in this year’s Alpha Nominated catalogue: It comes to you jam-packed with elite sires. At LIC Genetics our number one focus has always been breeding and selecting the very best bulls available. That’s why, since the mid-1990s, we’ve invested in leading-edge genomic technology. And our scientists are committed to continuously improving and refining the genomic tool. Now in our fifth season of marketing DNA Proven bulls, LIC’s knowledge in this new frontier continues to deepen. For example, the addition of 1500 bulls in our dataset boosts reliabilityy byy an extra 2-3%. Further,, the recent inclusion 20,000 SPS daughters and bull mothers is typical of the kinds of technological strides we’re making. In this catalogue you’ll find 20 top DNA Proven sires (in each breed section) to choose from – so be sure to check them out.

PRODUCTION BVs

However, we expect it’s not only DNA Proven bulls that will spark interest in this catalogue. Daughter Proven bull Howies Checkpoint is taking the industry by storm. An absolute ‘freak of nature’, Checkpoint is miles ahead of his nearest rival with an outstanding BW of $318. You can purchase Checkpoint in a Classic Pak 5 from as little as $16.92/straw.

TRAITS OTHER THAN PRODUCTION

If you thought putting bulls out to tail off your mating season was the low cost option ... think again. Extending your AB programme could save you thousands of dollars and could create more valuable, high-quality replacements for your herd. Basically you pay less and you get more. If it sounds too good to be true - check out the example at www.lic.co.nz – it shows how a herd of 350 could save over $2,000 and have more than 90 extra cows in calf with the very best genetics available. For more information on how we can save you money whilst improving the quality of your herd’s replacements, contact your local Customer Relationship Manager or phone LIC on 0800 651 156

help farmers condense their calving spread, meaning more days in milk and a longer recovery period for cows. The results of the programme are now signiﬁcant: This year we’re excited to be able to offer a –14.8 day gestation for the Jersey Short Gestation Pak and a –14.1 day gestation for the KiwiCross Pak: This can mean an extra week’s productivity on farm. Alpha Nominated is proudly part of genetics division at LIC, and is the only nominated brand owned by the dairy farmers of New Zealand. We’re totally committed to delivering the highest-quality genetics, products and services to you. Enjoy the catalogue, and all the best for the season ahead.

2012 SIRE CATALOGUE

USING THE TOPS If a sire has a Breeding Value close to 0, he is not expected to bring about much change in that trait when used over a group of average cows. However if the sire’s BV is markedly different from 0, he is expected to bring about noticeable changes when used over a group of average cows. Remember – a bull passes half of its genetic merit on average to immediate offspring.

DAUGH oint 508077 Howies Checkp

FARMER SCORED MANAGEMENT TRAITS Sire Proving farmers score two-year-old heifers on the four farmer traits. The resulting BV is the expected genetic merit of an animal relative to a base of zero (2000 born cow). ADAPTABILITY TO MILKING – describes how soon the heifer settled into the milking routine after calving. SHED TEMPERAMENT – describes the temperament of the heifer in the farm dairy while being handled and milked. MILKING SPEED – describes the milking speed of the heifer. OVERALL OPINION – describes the farmer’s overall acceptance of the heifer as a herd member.

INSPECTOR SCORED CONFORMATION TRAITS STATURE – describes the height at the shoulders of the heifer in ﬁve centimetre bands. CAPACITY – describes depth and width of chest and body in relation to the physical size of the heifer. RUMP ANGLE – describes the angle of a line between the centre of the hips and the top of the pins. LEGS – describes the straightness or curvature of the back legs while the heifer is walking. UDDER SUPPORT – describes the strength of the suspensory ligament, and the udder depth relative to the hocks.

SEXED SEMEN For many years the dairy farmer wish list has been dominated by the desire for more heifer calves, sired by top bulls, out of their best cows. LIC offers frozen sexed semen from our wide range of top elite sires; this includes Daughter and DNA proven sires. Preserve valuable cow families Increase your replacement heifer numbers Simplify the calf raising process Increase the chance of your cow having a heifer from 50% to 90% All of LIC’s sexed semen is processed at a 90% heifer ratio. On average you can expect a non-return-rate (NRR) of approximately 1520% below your average NRR. However it is important to note that this is an average and there are variations on either side. All sexed semen is sorted at an independent company and variations occur between batches and bulls. Therefore all sexed semen is not included in LIC’s low group policy.

ORGANIC LIC is certified as approved biogrow suppliers to organic systems. Organic input certification provides reassurance that our semen products meet required international standards. For example, you can be sure no GE (genetic engineering) has gone in to the development of our product, and that all LIC processes and practices are environmentally sustainable. The certification is restricted to all semen collected at LIC (Milking Shorthorn, Guernsey, Finnish Ayrshire, Brown Swiss and most beef breeds are excluded, while Beef Pak Hereford and Short Gestation Hereford are included).

PA K P U R C H A S I N G

SHORT GESTATION PAKS Short gestation semen not only means more days in milk, but also condenses calving and gives cows a longer period to recover, increasing their chances of getting back in calf to AB. Short gestation beef sires help you easily recognise your short gestation calves. No choice of bulls Minimum Pak order of 10 straws Paks cannot be mixed across breeds See more information on page 115 GESTATION LENGTH BV (DAYS)

What a phenomenal bull. Mint-Edition continues to hold the #1 spot on the RAS list, with an exceptional $268BW. A Pierre son, this bull has an extreme Protein BV supported by exceptional udders and conformation. Completing the perfect package he transmits positive fertility and low somatics. His ease of calving means he is also suitable for use over yearlings. Make sure to get your orders in early as he will be in demand once again this year.

107212 Zinks LM Porter S2F Porter will appeal to farmers looking for big strong cows, with high protein and low somatic cells. With Lakeside Meadows behind him it is not surprising that this bull is amongst the very best for dairy conformation and capacity TOP’s, with an outstanding .94 and 1.02 respectively. His daughters are built to last with fantastic fertility and the overall opinion of farmers being positive. Be sure to include Porter in your breeding programme this season.

Bred by the famous Busy Brook stud, Rastus is a new edition to the catalogue this year. His daughters are well liked by the farmers milking them, with excellent longevity and fantastic fertility. A shorter than average gestation length means more days in milk for farmers including him in their AB plans this year.

The #1 Jersey bull on the RAS List (11/02/12) George is an outstanding mating option across Manhatten bloodlines. Both his dam and grandam have PW’s over $300 and transmit great solids over several lactations. George daughters are larger than average and with desirable udders and conformation are well liked by the farmers milking them.

Meganev comes from the exceptional Meg family of Murray Gibb. The three nearest dams are all outstanding performers with an average PW of $388. His own daughters are also milking well; he ranks second for milkfat and third for volume in the Jersey section.

Iceaxe makes a solid outcross option to the superstar bulls of today, yet his pedigree is backed by the legends Admiral and Forever. Grandam Okura Admiral Iris boasts 384 female progeny being milked in 27 different herds across New Zealand, a feat not often reached by a dairy cow. It is not surprising Iceaxe himself transmits strong udders and tidy conformation.

Genius daughters continue to prove their worth; they are regular standouts that display great capacity and dairyness. Genius’s dam, Judds Gem, is an absolute classic Admiral daughter and at 17 years old it seems she transmits this longevity to Genius who boasts a 336 day BV.

Mystique is a well-balanced sire that produces capacious cows who are top producers, have good conformation and great longevity. Combine this with low somatic cells and a shorter gestation length – there is no doubt he will be included in many breeding plans this season. An F10J6 breed split makes him a great choice for farmers looking for a more Friesian cross.

ANIMAL EVALUATION The method of ranking New Zealand dairy animals is known as Animal Evaluation, and is governed by New Zealand Animal Evaluation Ltd (NZAEL). The three main features of Animal Evaluation are: • Across breed evaluations – evaluations produced by the system allow animals of all breeds to be compared on the same basis. • Accuracy – all available information on an animal’s relatives, plus all of its own records, are used in calculating its evaluation. • Breeding animals for profit and efficiency – animals are ranked according to their ability to convert feed into profit. This allows you to identify your most (and least) profitable and efficient animals and increase the money-earning potential of your herd. There are two types of evaluation calculated for New Zealand dairy animals:

and progeny information included in the evaluation, the higher the reliability or conﬁdence we can place in the ﬁgure, and the less likely it is to change with additional records. Reliability ranges from 0, meaning we know nothing about the animal or any of its ancestors, to 99. You should be cautious about using an individual bull with a BW of low reliability, unless he is being used as part of a large team. The following table shows the estimated reliabilities for Breeding Values of bulls with differing amounts of information: Ancestry Records

1. Trait evaluations Trait evaluations are a measure of an animal’s genetic merit (Breeding Values), lifetime productive ability (Production Values), and current season productive ability (Lactation Values) for individual traits, including milkfat, protein, volume, liveweight, longevity, somatic cells, cow fertility, conformation and management traits.

2. Economic evaluations Economic evaluations combine an animal’s individual trait evaluations into a measure of its ability to convert feed into proﬁt through breeding replacements (Breeding Worth), lifetime production (Production Worth) and current season production (Lactation Worth). For more information on BW, contact NZAEL for a copy of Your Index – Your Evaluation System.

BW is a combination of an animal’s genetic merit for milkfat, protein, milk volume, liveweight, fertility, somatic cells and survivability. The genetic merit of an animal for these individual traits is measured using Breeding Values (BVs). Based on ancestry, individual and progeny records, an animal’s BVs are calculated for each trait and combined into a BW. Each BV is allocated an economic weighting and calculated as follows: Breeding Worth

New Zealand Animal Evaluation Ltd (NZAEL) governs the trait evaluations for NZ dairy cattle. These trait evaluations make use of a number of developments in the genetic evaluation of dairy cattle that have occurred over the last 25 years. A major development was the adoption in 1996 of statistical methods (commonly described as the “animal model”), which allow simultaneous evaluation of cows and sires using all known relationships. In 2007 this methodology was further enhanced for the dairy production traits with the adoption of the “test day record” approach to evaluation, replacing the previous “lactation record” approach. The latest development (in 2009) was the introduction of Genomic data as an additional source of information to enhance predictions about the genetic merit of young animals. The genetic evaluation system is conducted with a common base for all breeds and crosses. The genetic base is a group of 2000-born cows which had all traits recorded in 2002. These cows were of all breeds and crosses. Consequently, you can compare bulls of different breeds and crosses knowing that they have been evaluated on the same basis. The data sources for the trait evaluations are the pedigree and performances records for over eighteen million animals recorded on the LIC National Database: Genomic information from animals that have been genotyped and data from overseas animals is included from Interbull evaluations for bulls with daughters recorded overseas.

BREEDING WORTH Breeding Worth (BW)/Reliability can be used as a guide for selecting bulls to breed the most profitable and efficient replacements. A Breeding Worth (BW) of 220/84 indicates the bull is expected to generate an extra $220 profit per year, through breeding replacements which are more efficient converters of feed into profit, above the base of 0. A bull passes half his BW to his immediate offspring. The other half is from the dam.

Reliability In 220/84, the 84 represents the reliabilility of the 220 BW. Reliability is a measure of the amount of information which has contributed to an evaluation. The more ancestry records, herd tests

The economic weighting placed on each trait is calculated using the predicted average prices of fat, protein and milk, minus the feed cost of producing them. The economic values for this season were updated on 11/2/12. Always check the date to ensure the latest BW information has been given.

A NOTE ABOUT TIMELINESS Animal Evaluations are calculated every three weeks. This means it is virtually impossible for publications advertising dairy semen to be absolutely up-to-date. We recommend you check the evaluation date whenever you are looking at any sire information. If it is not a recent date, ask your semen supplier for the latest evaluation. Alternatively, visit the LIC website, which is updated automatically after each AE run (www.lic.co.nz), or the Animal Evaluation website (www.aeu.org.nz). Your herd management reports will always show the latest information, so the sire information shown on a recent herd report, for example, may be more up-to-date than information published in other places.

ALPHA INFORMATION Alpha Nominated is the brand that covers ALL nominated semen from LIC.

Genetics InvestaMate discount (applies at time of despatch)

All bulls, all breeds, all Paks and bulls sourced from outside LIC are included in the Alpha Nominated brand. Visit the Alpha Nominated page of the LIC website (www.lic.co.nz) for the most up-to-date information. For DNA pak information, see page 10. The DNA Proven concept is to select bulls for widespread use based on their DNA profile rather than waiting for information gathered from the performance of their daughters. This process is generally known as genomic selection and can shorten the generation interval by about three-four years, leading to greater rates of genetic gain. Everything we want to know about a bull’s genetic merit is contained within its DNA. The data gathered from the DNA, once added to the ancestry information we already have on each sire, gives our individual DNA sires a reliability of around 60%. This is a much more reliable estimate of their genetic merit than the 35% reliability figure we see for an unproven bull, but a little below the 82% reliability figure we see for a daughter proven bull with 80 daughters in his proof. What the 60% reliability figure means is we can expect more movement within an individual bulls proof (up or down) when his daughter’s information starts to come in. It is for this reason we recommend the use of at least 10 sires to ensure a team effect and balance out any individual bull movements. When used as a team of 10, the team reliability is around 96%

If you either purchase all Alpha Nominated, or a combination of Alpha Nominated and Premier Sires, you will qualify for an InvestaMate Discount of either 3%, 5%, or 10%, if you meet the following requirements. Alpha Nominated semen purchased and/or Premier Sires inseminations must equal at least 95% of qualifying animals. (Qualifying animals are female animals born prior to 31 December 2010 in the herd at the time of October charging). The 95% can be made up of a mix of Alpha Nominated and Premier Sires, purchased in the current season. For example, if you have 200 qualifying animals, you must purchase at least 190 (95%) LIC AB straws either as Alpha Nominated, Premier Sires or a mixture of both. • A 3% discount will be applied in your first year of qualification. • A 5% discount will be applied in your second year of qualification. • A 10% discount will be applied in your third year of qualification. • A 10% discount will be applied for consecutive years thereafter. The discount will be applied at the time of charging, so you will get the benefit of the discount immediately. For the first year of qualification, the discount will be based on your order/mating plan. In all subsequent years the discount qualification will be derived from your service history. The level of discount you receive is dependent on your service history with LIC. Please consult your Customer Relationship Manager to confirm your level of entitlement.

For example, if you order 720 straws, you would qualify for the 7% discount for that order when despatched. (If you later order another 200 straws, that order would qualify for the 2% discount.) To obtain the best discount possible, order all your semen requirements so they are despatched at the same time.

High Input Index

For the Short Gestation Pak, see page 13. LIC has selected bulls with the shortest gestation based on progeny test information. Farmers will beneﬁt from using these bulls by getting cows that calve earlier in the following season, thus increasing their lactation length. It is expected that progeny from Short Gestation bulls will not be kept for herd replacements. Bulls have been selected for gestation length ONLY; their index and TOP traits are not part of the selection criteria (unlike other Alpha bulls selected for production or TOP traits).

2011 SIRE CATALOGUE 2012

Calving Difﬁculty Breeding Value

Sexed semen

This information is supplied to assess the suitability of bulls for mating with yearling heifers and to give farmers knowledge about bulls which cause higher than usual rates of calving assistance when mated to their cows or heifers. A sire’s Calving Difficulty Breeding Value (BV) predicts the percentage of assisted calvings expected when he is mated to yearlings. All breeds have been assessed together for the calculation. A sire with a Calving Difficulty BV of +10% is expected to have five more assisted calvings per hundred compared to a sire with a Calving Difficulty BV of 0. (A sire transmits half of his BV.) The average BV of sires born in 2000 is set to zero. This does not mean that a sire with a Calving Difficulty BV of 0 has no assisted calvings. Remember it is your recording of assisted calvings that helps provide accurate Calving Difficulty BVs for sires.

For many years the dairy farmer wish list has been dominated by the desire for more heifer calves, sired by top bulls, out of their best cows. With the arrival of sexing technologies here in New Zealand, Alpha can now offer New Zealand dairy farmers sexed semen from the highest BW bulls available. This year Alpha will again deliver sexed semen from our wide range of top elite sires; this will include Daughter and DNA proven sires. Farmers can lift the Breeding Worth of their replacements by getting more heifers out of their top cows, breeders can preserve valuable cow families by creating more females, and birth dates of heifer calves can be concentrated to simplify the calf raising process. On average you can expect a non-return-rate (NRR) of approximately 15-20% below your average NRR. Please be aware that this is an average and there will be variations on either side. All sexed semen is sorted at an independent company and variations occur between batches and bulls. Therefore all sexed semen is not included in LIC’s low group policy.

Fertility Breeding Value This Breeding Value refers to the genetic merit of a bull to produce daughters with the ability to conceive and bear a calf early in the herd’s calving period. It compares the expected percentage of daughters that will calve in the ﬁrst 42 days of the herd’s calving period. If you had a sire with a Fertility BV of –5.4% and a sire with a fertility BV of 2.6% there would be a difference of 8 in their Fertility BVs. This means the sire with the BV of 2.6% would have four more daughters per 100 calve in your herd’s ﬁrst 42 days of calving (a sire transmits half of its BV). The higher the Fertility BV, the better the bull’s daughters’ fertility.

Somatic Cell Breeding Value Somatic Cell Breeding Values (SC BVs) have been estimated for New Zealand AB dairy sires. SC BVs are published on a scale where high SC BVs are associated with high daughter Somatic Cell Counts (SCCs), so high SC BVs are undesirable. SC BVs are reported on a more compressed scale than the SCC scale used by herd testing companies and dairy companies. The genetic base for Breeding Value estimation is a large, across-breed group of cows born in 2000. These cows have an average breeding value of zero. A useful approximation for farmers and advisors is to note that a difference between two sires of 0.5 in Breeding Value approximately equates to a difference in expected daughter performance of 35,000 SCC (given the same management effects for all daughters).

Body Condition Score Body Condition Score (BCS) is commonly used as a method to assess body energy reserves. Breeders are interested in knowing about sires that transmit lower or higher BCS to their daughters in early lactation when cows’ body reserves are being mobilised for lactation at the same time as the cows are expected to get back in calf. BCS Breeding Values are reported as differences between heifers on the sixtieth day of lactation. The higher the BCS, the better condition the daughters are in.

Longevity traits Total Longevity BV is deﬁned as the genetic merit of a cow to live for additional days of herd-life relative to a base of zero (ie. 2000 - born cows). Total Longevity takes into account such traits as production, management, TOP and fertility. Residual Survival is deﬁned as herd-life after accounting for the genetic effects of production, liveweight and fertility, and is included in the BW calculation.

116

CVM Complex Vertebral Malformation The genetic defect CVM in dairy cattle (to date, found only in Holstein-Friesian and crossbred animals) is caused by a single locus recessive gene. If a CVM-bull is mated with the daughter of another CVM-bull, the expectation is that one out of seven of the offspring will die before, or just after, birth as the result of CVM. It is considered possible that CVM causes not only still-birth and malformations, but also embryonic mortality and abortion. Genetic testing of cattle for CVM is available.

Inbreeding and CVM protection Clients using an LIC AB Technician have access to DataMATE™ technology, which will warn against potential inbreeding and CVM matings. DIY clients can order a Sire Progeny and Gene List from MINDA or their Customer Relationship Manager. You supply a list of bull codes of the sires you plan to use over your herd, and the report identiﬁes any cows that are closely related to these bulls, or have a risk of being a CVM carrier. The report only shows cows affected, along with the codes of the bulls that cow should not be mated to. Alpha’s Customate Plus program also incorporates protection for inbreeding and CVM. Contact us for more information.

Polled LIC has dedicated a small number of places within the Sire Proving Scheme (SPS) to polled (hornless) bulls. These bulls have been selected on the basis of their ancestry genetic merit (BW) and other standard criteria, as well as their own polled condition. A single gene is involved, where fortunately polled is dominant over horned. This means that an animal need only inherit (from either parent) one copy of the favourable polled gene to display the characteristic. The polled bulls available through Alpha are almost certainly carrying just a single copy of the polled gene. This means, if mated to a horned cow, 50% of progeny will receive a copy of the polled gene from their sire, and will therefore be polled themselves; while the other 50% will receive a copy of the horned gene from their sire, along with a horned gene from their dam, and will therefore be horned.

A L P H A I N FO R M AT I O N Hereford Beef Pak

New releases

Through an exclusive relationship with the New Zealand Hereford Association, Hereford bulls for use within the Beef Pak, (all of which are polled), are selected on the basis of their ease of calving. Hereford semen is not available on the day with AB Technicians, so ensure you order yours in advance.

During the year, additional bulls that have not been catalogued may become available. Where possible, the availability of these bulls will be advertised, through the Livenews page of the Dairy Exporter, editions of The Bulletin, our website www.lic.co.nz, advertisements in breed association publications, or by direct mail. Customer Relationship Managers will have full details of all catalogued bulls, as well as new bulls.
