WWS UK 2022/23 Jersey Sire Directory by Melanie Hoggard

WWS Designations

World Wide Sires UK recognises the range of criteria our customers use to select sires, based on individual economic and breeding philosophy goals. Within the brochure, utilise these designation icons to easily navigate towards sires that suit your system and refine your selection from our portfolio to best meet your breeding objectives.

Look for the genderSELECTED icon to identify sires with sex-sorted semen available. More heifers is not out of reach with our research-backed gender SELECTED sires. All gender SELECTED semen is processed using SexedULTRA technology.

The Elite Sexed Fertility icon designates sires that can help you achieve the highest sex-sorted semen conception rates, enhancing your return on investment! This innovative designation distinguishes our highest performing sires for sex-sorted semen in both 2M and 4M products.

World Wide Sires has identified sires that transmit the desired traits for robotic milking systems. RobotPRO sires are selected by focusing on component and milk yield, milk quality, udder health as well as functional traits. Use these sires to create the next generation of profitable cows for your specific milking systems.

GForce indicates sires with elite genetic evaluations based on a combination of traditional pedigree and genomic data, but does not contain actual daughter data. This combination of data increases the reliability of a young sire’s genetic prediction prior to the availability of the actual daughter data.

The GForce+ lineup includes genomic young sires with selection on rigid semen quality standards and their high-ranking Sire Conception Rate (SCR) from progeny test semen usage. GForce+ sires must have outstanding genetic merit, a highly reliable sire stack and actual calving ease observations.

Sires which excel in multiple indicators of mastitis resistance are most likely to deliver genetic improvement. Mastitis ResistantPRO uses a combination of CDCB Mastitis Resistance, CDCB Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and Zoetis Mastitis Resistance genomic evaluations to easily identify the most mastitis resistant sires.

GrazingPRO sires improve the profitability of grassbased production systems by transmitting greater longevity, improved mobility, moderate stature, greater component yields and superior production - all while not compromising Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR) and Somatic Cell Score (SCS).

FeedPRO optimises the selection for increased production and moderate body size while maintaining body condition score & daughter fertility. This revolutionary index designates sires with the genetics to improve income over feed costs & maintain health and reproductive traits.

The FertilityPRO designation identifies sires with semen that will likely improve pregnancy rates. This designation is assigned by examining industry service sire conception rate values, along with intensive in-house semen quality evaluations.

Sires earn the SHOWCASE designation through outstanding breed-leading Type or show-winning pedigrees. Turn to this designation to produce your next show winner or improve the overall type in your herd.

If you want the most reliable sires available for your breeding programme, look at the Progeny Proven icon. The icon designates sires with an evaluation based on the both genomic data and actual daughter performance data.

Key Profit Traits

aAa The aAa system relies on the physical attributes of an animal with no genetic merit taken into consideration. The system defines a cow’s weak points and a bull’s strengths in order of importance. The bull with the most similar encoding to that of the cow should have the best physical attributes to supplement the cow’s physical shortcomings. The aAa code comprises six numbers: 1, Dairy; 2, Tall; 3, Open; 4, Strong; 5, Smooth; 6, Style. So a cow analysed as 4,6,2 i.e. weak in strong, style & tall sectors, should be mated to a 4,6,2 bull that excels in these traits.

Designations. For a full explanation of Designations see page 2.

U.S. Proof information can be found in this section.

JPI (Jersey Performance Index) predicts the efficiency of production by expressing lifetime production of fat and protein per unit of feed consumed.

NM$ (Net Merit) measures the expected profit that offspring will provide over its lifetime. The higher the number, the more potential profit.

DWP$ (Dairy Wellness Profit) is a multi-trait selection index which includes production, fertility, type, longevity and wellness traits, including polled test results. The higher the number, the higher the expected profitability.

WT$ (Wellness Trait) Places economic weights on wellness traits, directly estimating potential profit contribution of these traits for an individual animal. This multi-trait selection index focuses solely on wellness traits with unique formulas used for Holsteins.

PL (Productive Life) is a score used to identify the productive months of life a cow will have compared to herd mates. A PL of 1.0 equates to one additional month of production in the herd. PL gives the greatest weight to the first 305 days (10 months) of lactation, as cows are most profitable and productive in early lactation.

SCR (Sire Conception Rate) is not a genetic trait, but measures the fertility of the bull. An SCR of 1.0 indicates a 1% increase in conception rate when compared to average.

JUI (Jersey Udder Index) is a composite index score of udder traits. The JUI reflects how many points udder traits add (or subtract) from Jersey Performance IndexTM.

U.K. production evaluation information can be found in this section.

PLI (Profitable Lifetime Index) is the national multi-trait index for use in year-round-calving herds. It promotes yield whilst protecting milk quality, and adds emphasis to fertility, longevity and calving performance whilst improving functional type, udder health and lameness. The higher the value the better.

U.K. management evaluation information can be found in this section.

SCI (Spring Calving Index) is an across breed genetic index developed for spring block-calving herds, which rely heavily on grazed grass and calve in a tight block, to breed cows that produce lower volumes of milk at higher quality. As the index is across-breed, bulls of different breeds can be compared. SCI promotes milk quality, fertility, longevity, easier calving, selects for reduced maintenance costs and protects functional type.

ACI (Autumn Calving Index) is an across breed genetic index developed for autumn blockcalving herds, and reflects the costs for feeding for winter milk production and the higher milk price received at that time of year. As the index is across-breed, bulls of different breeds can be compared. ACI promotes more milk yield than SCI, but has less emphasis on milk quality & health traits. It does have a higher emphasis on female fertility than PLI. It also selects for longevity, easier calving and functional type and reduced maintenance costs.

U.K. type evaluation information can be found in this section.

Zoetis Wellness Traits can be found in this section.

Zoetis Wellness traits are direct predictors for wellness traits related to common disease conditions in dairy production. These genetic predictions are based on data from millions of health records within U.S. commercial herds. Higher values are more desirable for all traits. Use Wellness traits to help you select for a healthier,more trouble-free herd over time.

CowManager is the only cow monitoring system to efficiently combine ear temperature with activity and rumination information.

“CowManager ear sensors monitor our herd fertility status and provides us with real-time data. The data we receive, informs us of the optimum time period during a cows ovulation to inseminate for best conception rates and identifies irregular heats so we know to examine the animal for ovarian cysts or other fertility issues and even predicts suspected abortions. Having this data at our fingertips has enabled our farm to achieve higher conception rates, no more missed heats and improved our whole breeding management – we rely on the app!

CowManager notifies of any sick cows before clinical signs, allowing us to segregate and further investigate, to find the cause of problem and treat quickly. Fortunately with CowManager’s advanced technology, we are able to pick up sick cows before they get seriously ill.”

Fresh cow recovery requires more than just calcium.

Two products that help cows get back on feed fast.

Built from the trusted and recognized YMCP® global brand, YMCP Vitall® is the total fresh cow product. Optimal fresh cow recovery means getting them back on feed quickly and replenishing nutrients lost during freshening. YMCP Vitall has live yeast to promote feed intake, magnesium, potassium and more - including rapidly-absorbable calcium.

• YMCP Vitall is the only pressed bolus on the market containing live yeast, helps rumen more rapidly adapt to the changing fresh cow diet, getting them back on feed fast

• A unique effervescent bolus for optimal dispersion of critical nutrients for rapid availability

• Use immediately post-calving to help boost intakes and support the transition into lactation for all fresh cows

A supplemental source of probiotics.

When cows are off feed, helping them to return to normal intake levels and healthy production quickly is the top priority. RYCaps® help to restore beneficial bacteria in the rumen and encourage dry matter intake any time that normal digestive health has been interrupted.

• Includes live yeast to improve rumen microflora, improve the rumen environment and stimulate dry matter intake

• Supports enzymatic activity that results in increased rumen activity and enhancing beneficial bacteria

• Encourage dry matter intake for challenged cows

What our clients say…

“Since starting on a 3 month trial with A.B Cow Support, we are nearly twelve months in and are over the moon with the results. Thanks to Megan, Alan and team’s input our pregnancy rate has risen by over 9% over the twelve months and continues to rise. We are currently running at 2.4 straws to conception across maiden heifers and cows using sexed semen and beef. These guys are an extra pair of eyes over our herd that we simply could not be without.”

WORLD WIDE SIRES PROFESSIONAL FERTILITY SERVICE TAILORED TO SUIT YOUR HERD

Dorset Cornwall Devon Somerset Cumbria S.W. Scotland

ARE

by Laura Gordon, Area Director of Marketing,

Not all dairy operations are created the same, nor do they have the same goals. So while the existence of so many different indexes may seem overwhelming or confusing, it’s actually a good thing.

More indexes give you more choices, and more opportunities to ensure you’re picking the right genetics to align with your goals. But how do you decide which index is right for you?

WE’VE DEVELOPED THESE QUESTIONS TO HELP SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS FOR YOU.

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE COW IN THE HERD?

Why is she your favorite cow? What is it about her that you like? What would your life look like if you could fill a barn with cows just like her?

Perhaps you don’t even know who your favorite cow is because she never needs any attention. She requires one straw of semen a year, never steps foot in the hospital pen, and doesn’t cause any trouble. Whether you know her by name, by number, or not at all – I think we can agree that our goal is to create more cows just like her.

IN FIVE YEARS, WHAT WILL YOUR PERFECT COW LOOK LIKE AND ACT LIKE?

What were the first things that came to your mind? Consider putting these at the core of your index. Sometimes, you may find yourself referring to type traits as an indication of performance.

It’s common for all of us to draw conclusions between type traits and performance traits. Historically, we relied on the physical characteristics of a cow to indicate her performance.

Today, after years of genetic research and genomic testing, we know that these physical characteristics are poor indicators of performance and we can directly select for traits like daughter fertility and disease resistance to create the type of cow that will be long lasting and healthy in our herds.

WHY DO COWS LEAVE YOUR HERD?

Mastitis? Transition Disease? Poor Reproduction? Lameness? Focus on the root cause of why cows leave the herd. For example, if cows leave due to Low Production…is it really low production, or is reproduction the true problem? If they had bred back quickly, would they still be leaving the herd?

How many animals do you have leaving the herd due to true conformation issues like udders hanging too low to the ground, short rear teats, or ugly legs?

If you have achieved a high enough level of functional type in your herd, we will find that conformation will rarely be the reason for culling an animal. Instead, it is her performance causing her to leave the herd.

Why is it then that so often we focus our sire selection on type traits? Perhaps we should reconsider and select for traits that will help her stay in the herd longer.

FIVE

Cow size should not be the only reason you decide on an index, but it is something you need to be aware of and take into consideration.

After asking these five simple questions, you should have a good idea of what kind of a cow you are looking for.

Consider the chart below that shows the relative emphasis of each of the nine traits in Question 5, and how they are considered in each formula.

What were the three traits of most importance to you? Which index shows these traits as a high or medium emphasis?

DEFINE YOUR GOALS

Dairy farmers around the world have long been in pursuit of the perfect cow. We’ve studied bull catalogues, developed a system of scoring animals, and paraded our best animals at shows. But what is YOUR ideal cow?

What are YOUR goals for the next 5,10, and 20 years of your operation?

Are you in expansion mode? Do you need to maintain your current numbers?

Where is the best calf value in your market? It could be black beef calves, extra dairy calves, or another specialty.

Once you have your replacement numbers fulfilled using the best females in your herd, the remainder of the females available should be bred for the best value of the resulting calf.

RANK YOUR FEMALES

You need to be able to rank and choose the right females to breed the next generation, according to your ideal.

It’s common to rank sires based on a composite index such as DWP$®, NM$ or HHP$™. However, how often do we fail to focus on the other 50% of the genes passed along to the next generation from the maternal side?

You already know your ideal cow for the future from Step #1. Now, use the data available on your females (genomic testing, parent averages, production data, etc) to rank them from best to worst.

SELECT THE SIRES

Work with a genetic advisor to help select sires that will drive you towards your ideal cow.

And remember, these may not be the same sires that your neighbour is using, or the sires at the top of the list on proof day –that is OK.

Focus on choosing sires that fit YOUR profitability goals based on your specific nutrition, management levels, and environmental circumstances.

IMPLEMENT THE STRATEGY

This is when you put your plan into action!

WMS can provide the final level of precision by matching the right sire to the right female, while ensuring you maintain genetic diversity in your herd.

And if WMS doesn’t fit your management style, that is OK!

The majority of genetic progress comes from selecting the right females and the right males, not from a mating program. And as far as preserving genetic diversity? Ask your genetic consultant, as they have additional tools available that can help with this.

MONITOR RESULTS

Frequent, consistent communication with your genetic consultant is imperative to the success of a precision breeding program.

They can help monitor your pregnancy inventory, make any adjustments as needed, advise on sire selection, and validate your genetic progress.
