Introduction Exciting times are ahead

Our success is selling you less

I have just returned from spending some of November and December in New Zealand and at LIC headquarters.

Our aim is, in the long term, to sell you less semen per herd member. This will be achieved via the improved fertility your herd will achieve with use of LIC genetics. The impact of this is you will need less semen to get your cows in calf, allowing you to invest in increasing herd size, improving infrastructure or just better living.

The main purpose of the visit was to attend the LIC International Team conference. The most encouraging aspect of my time there was a palpable excitement, from all levels of the business, for the parts they can play in adding new dimensions of service and support to you, our international clients. You will experience this in the months and years ahead.

New Bulls for 2011 We have a small selection of new 2008 born DNA (09 code) bulls listed for sale now.

I am proud to present the lineup of bulls described in this catalogue and know these will make a significant difference to your herd and the profitability of your farming business. Robert Hassall General Manager - LIC UK

Genetic Gain Around the world, dairy farmers are increasingly turning to the pasture based systems that New Zealand has adopted for over 100 years, in order to lower costs and ensure their farms are profitable. These same farmers recognise that success starts with genetics and that New Zealand’s genetics are the most extensively tested and proven for their ability to turn pasture into profit. The key to increased profitability is using the highest merit sires available as long as they meet your main breeding objectives.

DNA Selected With DNA Selected semen, you can have the best genetics brought to you sooner and reliably by LIC – for even more rapid genetic gain. DNA Selected technology is the most significant development in dairy genetics since artificial insemination began 50 years ago.

LIC has been investigating the possibilities of using DNA in our breeding programme since 1994, but the introduction of DNA Selected semen has been rapid – the concept was first mooted only as recently as 2001. LIC has put huge resources into developing DNA Selected technology so quickly – to increase the rate of genetic gain in farmers’ herds more rapidly.

Genetic Gain

What is Genetic Gain?

LIC, the company that led the world in developing artificial breeding and leads the world in semen technology, once again leads the world in developing DNA Selected technology.

New Proven Team The New Proven Team is made up mostly from the bulls that were first sold by LIC (UK) in Spring 2009. These bulls have been receiving their New Zealand daughter lactation proofs since October 2009 and will have a full New Zealand proof by now. They can be identified by the herd book numbers starting with (Hol-Fri) 62 106, (Jersey) 68 306 and 68 307 and (KiwiCross) 506.

NZAEL Genetic Base Change Please be aware that on June 26, 2010 the New Zealand Animal Evaluation system changed its genetic base to the group of cows that were born in 2000 with performance and conformation traits recorded in the 2002/03 milking season. Previously the base year was 1995. The Breeding Worth (BW) index accordingly reduced by approximately $41 per bull at that time.

Reading Proofs

Reading Bull Proofs Breeding Worth New Zealand ranks dairy bulls and cows by Breeding Worth (BW) for their expected ability to breed profitable and efficient replacements. The ranking compares across ages and breeds. Currently the traits (Breeding Values or BVs) included in Breeding Worth and their associated economic values are:

Breeding Worth = (Protein x $8.215) + (Milkfat x $1.570) + (Milk Volume x $-0.085) + (Liveweight x $-1.238) + (Fertility x $2.867) + (Residual Survival x $0.042) + (Somatic cell x $-30.001). Updated June 2010, AEU

In general, the higher the BW of the bull the more profit that is likely to be produced by his offspring. The top bulls in New Zealand are now in the $180-$260 BW range. Some care needs to be taken when using this figure however, as the economic weights used in its calculation are specifically based on the New Zealand economic environment.

Comparing across breeds New Zealand’s Animal Evaluation Model ranks animals across breeds. As Jerseys are generally smaller and produce less milk than Holstein-Friesians, most Jersey sires will have negative values for stature, liveweight and milk volume on an across-breed base. To help evaluate individual bulls within breed, LIC has presented stature, milk litres, liveweight and fertility proofs within breed for its www.licnz.com website and international catalogues. Breed averages for traits that are deviated within breed in this catalogue are indicated in the table below.

Breed Averages

Total longevity (days) A sire transmits half of its longevity BV to its daughters. Consequently, a bull with a longevity BV of +200 days is expected to leave daughters that will last 100 days longer in the average New Zealand herd than a bull with longevity of zero.

Calving difficulty % The calving difficulty BV or GV evaluates the suitability of a bull for use over yearling heifers. This trait has a low heritability, and therefore generally lower reliability. LIC assigns each bull to one of three groupings – Easy (<0.70, Average (between 0.70 and 6.00), Difficult (>6.00).

New Zealand fat and protein % The fat % and protein % are estimates of a sire’s ability to transmit milk components. In a grass-based system the daughter of a bull that transmits a 5.0% fat test and a cow with 4.0% fat could be expected to test 4.5%.

Percentage New Zealand genetics Percentage New Zealand genetics indicates the degree of New Zealand bloodline in each sire’s ancestry. To be classified KiwiFriesian a Holstein-Friesian sire must have more than 50% KiwiFriesian bloodline.

Gestation Length A breeding value to evaluate gestation length to tighten calving patterns when used towards the end of the herd’s mating period. On average we would expect to shorten the gestation by three days using a bull with a gestation length BV of –6.

The OAD BV or GV evaluates the tendency of a bull’s progeny to be more efficient in a once-a-day farming system. The biggest factor in making OAD successful is milking the right cows. A higher OAD Index is more desirable. As a rule, Jerseys are more efficient in a OAD system.

Source: AEU June 2010

Traits other than production (TOP) The general range for most traits is between -1.00 and +1.00. Bulls with TOP Breeding Values (BV) between -0.30 and +0.30 are not expected to influence much change in the trait. The descriptors of rump width, capacity and dairy conformation are assessed in relation to the animal’s size. This is different to almost all other major dairying countries and is beneficial because it enables the identification of animals that leave strength, width and desirable frame traits regardless of the animal’s stature (refer to comparing across breeds). Farmers score two-year-old heifers for the four traits related to their management at milking time (adaptability to milking, shed temperament and milking speed) and the overall acceptability of the heifers as herd member (overall opinion).

Fertility % (within breed) The objective for herd reproductive performance in most New Zealand herds is to achieve high pregnancy rates in a short time period following the planned start of mating, and to maintain calving intervals very close to 365 days.

The Fertility BV refers to the expected percentage extra likelihood of a cow to conceive, sustain a pregnancy and calve in the first 42 days of the herd’s calving period. A Fertility BV or GV of 8% indicates that 4% more daughters are expected to calve in this period compared to a bull with a BV of 0%.

Somatic cell count (SCC) Somatic cell BV or GV indicates a bull’s tendency to breed daughters that are susceptible to lower or higher somatic cell counts. A score of 0.5 equates to approximately 35,000 extra SCC transmitted to daughters. A negative SCC score is more desirable.

High Input High input farmers are not just interested in BW. They want animals producing high milksolids, and with good type (especially udder support) to carry the extra milk volume. The High Input index uses information and economic weights appropriate for the average high input system (in New Zealand). High Input index considers all seven traits in Breeding worth (weighted differently) plus udder overall. Generally, the High Input index places slightly more emphasis on the somatic cell score, and weights almost one-tenth of the index on the udder.

Who is

LIC?

Where we go, others follow. That’s not a statement of arrogance, it’s one of fact.

LIC has pioneered so many things that, today, are taken for granted in the dairy industry in New Zealand and worldwide. We were there when the first herd tests were done, the first AI was done and the first animal recording was done. Over the years our name has been behind some of the biggest innovations in dairy science - the development of Long Last Liquid (fresh semen which would last up to four days in the field), Short Gestation bulls and trialing the use of Yaks to reduce gestation length and, most recently, a team of genomically selected bulls. We’ve been around for 100+ years and our vision hasn’t wavered. In contrast with others, we don’t exist to ‘just make a sale’; we exist to provide commercial dairy farmers with solutions which will boost their productivity and profitability. It’s as simple - and as complex - as that. Livestock Improvement at a glance : • A dairy farmer owned cooperative with annual sales of over NZD$150million • 550 Full Time staff around the world - this number burgeons to 1700 during the peak season • Our head office is located in Hamilton, New Zealand but we have offices in the United Kingdom, Ireland, United States and Australia with agents in South America and South Africa. • Annually invest around one-fifth of our revenue in product development and research and development

One Team Teamwork is one of LIC’s core values but, more than that, it’s our promise.

When it comes to genetics, you can rest assured knowing your genetic gain lies in a team of some of the best bulls in the world. When it comes to the relationship we seek to foster with our farmer customers, it’s teamwork - understanding your business and your goals so we can help you achieve them. It’s more than selling you a straw of semen; it’s providing you with a reproductive solution which will enable you to be more sustainably profitable. And teamwork is the foundation to our global team culture. Our head office might be in Hamilton but you can expect the same passion and expertise, and the same standards and commitment to you from any member of the LIC team, worldwide.

Think teamwork, think LIC.

What is DNA Selected

What is DNA Selected It’s about investing in your future The genetic gain outlined below could be realised by those British dairy farmers choosing to use DNA Selected semen in 2010 and beyond.

700

100-Cow Herd

600

500

At the current rate of genetic progress, a 100-cow herd in New Zealand would have an estimated BW of 260* by 2028.

$BW

400

However, in a situation where DNA Selected technology is adopted by all farmers, this herd’s estimated BW would be 344* by 2028.

300

Bull

With the use of DNA Selected technology, that same 100 cow herd could earn about £34,830 additional profit over the first 20 years compared to the current breeding scheme.

Cow merit (without DNA Selected)

Breeding Worth (BW) ranks bulls and cows on their expected ability to breed replacements that will efficiently convert feed into profit. *April 2008 equivalent

DNA Selected technology is about selecting bulls for widespread use based on their DNA profile rather than waiting for information on the performance of their daughters. This process, generally known as genomic selection, results in a generation interval that’s shorter by about three years.

Team Concepts No single bull can deliver your entire breeding goal. Selecting a team of four or more bulls gives you balance. With a higher team reliability than the average of all the bulls it spreads your risk, and is therefore a commonsense approach to breeding. A team of bulls is an often overlooked aspect of successful breeding; it is in essence a breeding insurance policy.

If you select one or two bulls for your breeding programme and their proofs fall, the effect will be that, your entire herd’s genetic progress slows significantly. As players do in sports teams, bulls in a team cover for team mates. A team of bulls covers the genetic fluctuations that can occur with individual bulls when additional information/daughters are added to a bull’s proof.

New Zealand Friesian

Jersey

KiwiCross™

The New Zealand Friesian has varying amounts of Holstein blood, but these sire’s daughters are proven to produce well on a mostly grazed grass diet. Proven by the Strain Trial (Moorepark Ireland and Massey University NZ) to be superior to Holsteins in fertility, fat & protein components, and profitability, on both a grazed grass system as well as a high concentrate system.

The New Zealand Jersey has all the attributes required for a grazed grass system. The Ballydague Trial results (2009) demonstrated this is the breed to cross over Holsteins if you are looking for fertile, easy care and profitable animals.

The New Zealand KiwiCross was bred by LIC in response to farmers requesting we provide an answer to “Where do we go from here?” after that first cross of Jersey over New Zealand Friesian.

For farmers using High Inputs, LIC has an Index identifying bulls best suited to this farming system. Good legs and feet have been bred into the New Zealand Friesian. British and Irish farmers confirm this.

The Jersey/Holstein cross out performs not only the straight Jersey and straight HolsteinFriesian cow, but also the Norwegian Red/Holstein cross cow.

Which Breed?

Which breed suits my needs?

They required an animal which would take the guesswork out of that second cross, and simplify mating management during AI. Use this breed to put over your already crossbred cows to keep the size more even, whilst retaining some Hybrid Vigour. You can also use this breed to inject higher components into your Holstein cows. Ideal for heifers, as the Kiwicross sires are all easy calving.
