The Duration of Economic Use of Fleckvieh Cattle Breed Raised on the Farm of “Vamax” LLC per their Acclimatization and Productivity

Abstract

The study of age-related milk productivity in the breeding cattle enables to determine the duration of their use and adaptability to the technological conditions. According to the investigations conducted on the farm of “Vamax” LLC, the high index of milk productivity in the Fleckvieh cattle breed is related to sufficient acclimatization capacity and the expansion of their economic use span. Thus, the inclusion of longevity factor among the other breeding peculiarities would promote the stock increase in the cows of 5th and 6th calving (5th and 6th lactation) with high milk productivity. It is recommended to implement the introduced technology in the farms where Fleckvieh cows are bred.
