JERSEY GENETIC TRENDS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR SELECTION
INDEXES TO BE FOCUS OF MARCH 13 SEMINAR

Reynoldsburg, Ohio, January 22, 2010—Changes that have occurred in the U.S. Jersey population because of breeders’ mating choices and their impact in an updated Jersey Performance Index™ will be discussed at a seminar, March 13 in Columbus, Ohio.

The program will be presented by Dr. Ronald E. Pearson, emeritus professor at Virginia Tech and developer of the Jersey Performance Index™ as well as the Functional Trait Index and Jersey Udder Index™.

The seminar, also to be broadcast as a live webinar, will begin at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 13 at the Concourse Hotel and Conference Center in Columbus, Ohio. The program is being held in conjunction with the winter meetings of the directors of the American Jersey Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc., and the 2010 planning meetings for The All American Jersey Show & Sale.

Since beginning his career in 1971 as a USDA research geneticist, Pearson has been a prolific scientific author and contributor to the success of the worldwide dairy industry. He has been honored by the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) with the J.L. Lush Award for outstanding contribution in dairy genetics. He also received a National Association of Animal Breeders award for outstanding research and the AJCA-NAJ Meritorious Service Award in 2009 for his research focused on developing selection tools based on their impact on improving herd profitability.

Pearson received his bachelor's degree from the University of Massachusetts, and a master's degree and Ph.D. from Iowa State University.

There is no charge to attend the program or the informal social afterwards. The Concourse Hotel is located at 4300 International Gateway, on the grounds of Port Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio. For webinar log-in instructions, send email to info@usjersey.com before March 10.

Reynoldsburg, Ohio, January 14, 2010—The American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) announced today that new records for production by Registered Jersey™ cows were established in 2009.

The official Jersey lactation average increased to 18,498 lbs. milk, 859 lbs. fat, and 666 lbs. protein. On a Cheddar cheese equivalent basis, average yield is 2,248 pounds. All are new category records.

A record 87,911 lactations were processed by the AJCA. This was a gain of 9,687 records (12.4%) over the previous year, and also represents a 22% increase in records processed since 2007.

The lactation average is calculated on a standardized 305-day, twice daily, mature equivalent (m.e.) basis.

Registrations post 50% growth for the decade,
with similar growth reported for other key services

Reynoldsburg, Ohio, January 1, 2010—The American Jersey Cattle Association today announced it had processed 95,557 registrations for 2009, topping the previous record of 94,774 set in 2008.

The AJCA also reported all-time records for total cows enrolled on performance evaluation programs; for total cows and herds enrolled in the comprehensive REAP service; and for cows scored in the Jersey functional type traits appraisal program. All replace category records established in 2008.

In accounting for the organization’s record-setting performance, AJCA leaders gave credit first to the Jersey cow.

“This has been the decade when all of the efficiency factors of the Jersey cow and how these contribute to profitability have come to the forefront for dairy business owners,” said AJCA Executive Secretary and CEO Neal Smith.

AJCA President David Chamberlain, who milks 650 Jerseys at Hi-Land Farms in Wyoming, N.Y., noted, “When it comes to feed conversion into milk solids, our U.S. Jersey is number one.”

Smith also pointed to the breed’s advantages in reproduction and longevity, as well as the added value of Jersey milk. “Particularly this year, the value of higher protein and fat content made a real difference in revenue for Jersey producers.”

Finally, Chamberlain said, “2009 was also a year when the USJersey organizations reaped the results of decades of determination and hard work by our staff and leadership.”

Its flagship program is REAP, a comprehensive service package that includes registration, Equity milk marketing support, type appraisal, and performance testing.

Reynoldsburg, Ohio, January 21, 2009—After the January 2009 USDA genetic summaries, Jerseys have a 180-day, or six-month advantage in Productive Life among the six dairy breeds evaluated in the United States.

For cows born over a five-year period—1998 through 2002—Jerseys have the longest average productive life of 33.6 months, or 1,025 days. A total of 204,383 Jerseys were included in the data published by the USDA Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL) at Beltsville, Md.

By comparison, the weighted average for 3,290,970 cows of the other five breeds born in the same period is 27.7 months, or 845 days. By breeds, average Productive Life for Ayrshire is 967 days (11,672 cows); Brown Swiss, 930 days (29,311 cows); Guernsey, 803 days (16,223 cows); Holstein, 844 days (3,230,119 cows); and Milking Shorthorn, 948 days (3,645 cows).

The trait of Productive Life is defined as “time in the milking herd before removal by voluntary culling, involuntary culling, or death.”

Cows having opportunity to reach eight (8) years of age are considered a completed observation, but continue to add credits for productive life after this point.

Productive Life evaluations combine information from direct longevity (measured by DHI data on calving dates, disposal dates, reasons for disposal and lactation lengths) with correlated traits. Cows with multiple lactations are given more total credit for productive life than cows with just one long lactation. According to AIPL scientists, this is because “cows that begin a next lactation generally are more profitable than those that continue the previous lactation because a new peak yield is achieved.” As a cow's lactation is extended, the value credited to her production is diminished.

Productive Life is a key component of the USDA Net Merit functions. For Jerseys, it receives 18% of total emphasis for NM$ and FM$, and 14% for CM$. In Jersey Performance Index™, Productive Life is weighted at 12%.

The American Jersey Cattle Association, organized in 1868, compiles and maintains animal identification and performance data on Jersey cattle and provides services that support genetic improvement and greater profitability through increasing the value of and demand for Registered Jersey™ cattle and genetics. The flagship program is REAP, a comprehensive service package that includes registration, Equity milk marketing support, functional type appraisal, and performance testing.

Tulare, California, February 12, 2008—The American Jersey Cattle Association, in tandem with animal ID leader Allflex, today announced a campaign to record the 100,000th Registered Jersey™ identified by double-matching approved ear tags.

The milestone, which coincides with the association’s 140th anniversary, will be marked by awarding the animal’s owner a year’s supply of Double Matched Pair sets of JerseyTags™ with HDX High Performance EID tags, up to a maximum of 500 sets, plus a stick reader from Allflex USA Inc.

According to Executive Secretary and CEO Neal Smith, orders for the AJCA’s line of JerseyTags™ manufactured by Allflex have grown at double-digit rates annually, with just under 100,000 sets sold in 2007.

“The primary reason AJCA members have adopted eartag identification,” Smith said, “is that the foundation for maximizing profitability with Jerseys is accurate, verifiable animal identification.”

Not only is positive ID a requirement for day-to-day herd management, the Jersey executive explained, it’s also vital for Jersey breeders who want to increase to their income by marketing Registered Jerseys™.

“High-visibility eartag ID and increasingly electronic ID is a requirement of the people who purchase through our cattle marketing company, Jersey Marketing Service,” said Smith. “Buyers are paying for pedigree and performance information and they expect it to be linked up through the animal’s identification number.

“The Allflex tag technologies, combined with the services available from the USJersey organizations, make it all possible.”

The American Jersey Cattle Association has recorded over 68,000 animals identified by approved eartags since its members overwhelmingly approved new rules for registration five years ago. The Allflex Tamperproof™ tag line is the only product approved by the AJCA for that purpose.

“Milk producers like the flexibility of tailoring our tags to meet their needs and reduce mistakes,” said Jon Becerril, national sales manager for Allflex USA, Inc. “That is why the Double Matched Pair set including an EID tag is particularly popular. It delivers a combined visual and electronic solution for identification that is visible from nearly every angle.

“Advanced animal ID doesn’t cost,” Becerril noted, “it pays. We are proud to be a partner with the USJersey organizations in bringing the number one livestock identification system in the world to its customers.”
