Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the possibility that milking speed traits can be improved by estimating their genetic parameters and to provide basic information when the goals for dairy cattle improvement are established. The amount of milk within the first three minutes (3MG) was 8.97 Kg and 57% of total milk was produced within 3 minutes, but it was lower than that of the recommended level (70%). The highest milk flow (HMF) and average milk flow (DMHG) in the main milking phase were 3.66kg/min and 2.43kg/min, respectively, which were lower than those of the recommended levels (4.0 5.0kg/min and 3.0 4.0kg/min), suggesting slower milking speed of domestic dairy cattle compared to that of foreign dairy cattle. The heritability estimates on the highest milk flow (HMF), maximum milk flow (HMG) in one minute and average milk flow (DMHG) in the main milking phase were 0.35, 0.31 and 0.29, respectively, which are suitable for the improvement of traits with medium heritability. The genetic correlation between total milk yields (MGG) and average milk flow (DMHG) in the main milking phase was 0.591, while the genetic correlations among milking speed traits including the highest milk flow (HMF), maximum milk flow (HMG) in one minute and average milk flow (DMHG) in the main milking phase were in the range of 0.889 0.997.

본 연구의 목적은 비유속도형질들에 대한 유전모수를 추정함으로서 개량형질로서의 가능성을 분석하여 젖소개량목표 설정 시 기초자료를 제공하는데 있다. 착유개시 3분 이내 평균 착유량 (3MG)은 8.97kg으로 총 착유량의 57%가 3분 이내에 비유되는 것으로 나타났으나 권장수치 70%에 비하여 낮게 나타났으며, 순간최고유속 (HMF), 주착유시평균유속 (DMHG)의 평균치는 각각 3.66kg/min와 2.43kg/min으로 각각의 권장수치 4.0~5.0kg/min과 3.0~4.0kg/min보다 낮게 나타남으로서 국내 젖소의 비유속도는 외국에 비해 느린 것으로 나타났다. 순간최고유속(HMF), 분당 최고유속 (HMG)과 주착유시간 분당평균유속 (DMHG)의 유전력은 각각 0.35, 0.31과 0.29로서 중도의 유전력을 지닌 개량에 적합한 형질로 판단되었다. 그리고 총착유량 (MGG)과 주착유시간 분당 평균유속 (DMHG)의 유전상관은 0.591이었으며, 비유속도 관련형질 (HMF, HMG, DMHG)간의 유전상관은 0.889 0.997의 범위를 나타내었다.
