Abstract

Data were taken from the dairy herd improve- ment program from the year 2000, composed of 10,929 first lactation cows consisting of 290,144 test-day records and 37,723 udder type records. The objective of the study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic correlation between fore udder attachment, rear udder height, rear udder width, udder cleft, udder depth, and somatic cell score (SCS) and to calculate heritability of udder depth, front teat length and SCS in Holstein cattle in Korea. The variance component estima- tion using test day model was determined by a derivative-free algorithm-restricted maximum likeli- hood(DF-REML) analysis method. Generally phenotypic correlations were very low between udder traits and lactation SCS which varied from －0.03 to －0.06. Heritability of all type traits and SCS was smaller than 0.12. The results of this study would be applicable to SCS using linear genetic evaluation for future studies.

본 연구는 국제적인 경쟁력을 갖기 위한 젖소개량방법으로 체세포를 활용하는 방법을 모색하고자 선형심사 자료에서 유방염에 관련된 형질을 이용하여 새로운 선발지수를 개발하기 위한 단계로 국내 젖소집단의 체세포점수 분포와 변화추이를 분석해보고 연령, 분만계절, 비유단계의 환경효과를 구명하고 유방관련 형질과의 유전상관과 유전력을 구하여 기초자료로 활용하고자 본 연구를 진행하였다. 분석은 유우군 능력검정을 통하여 2000년부터 수집된 자료를 이용하였고 자료는 1산차 기록을 갖는 10,929개체의 290,144 검정일 기록과 37,723개의 유방형질 기록을 이용하였다. 분석에 이용된 유방형질은 전유방붙음성, 뒷유방높이, 뒷유방너비, 유방깊이, 앞유두길이의 형질이며 체세포 점수간의 표현형상관과 유전상관을 구하고 분산성분을 추정하였으며 개체모형을 이용하여 표현형상관과 유전상관을 분석하였다. 분석에 이용된 모형은 개체모형으로 DF-REML방식을 이용하여 추정하였고 유방깊이와 앞유두길이의 유전력은 0.23, 0.22로 체세포점수의 유전력은 0.08로 분석되었다. 유방형질과 체세포점수간의 표현형상관은 －0.03~－0.06으로 낮게 나타났으며 높은 유방붙음성을 갖을수록 낮은 체세포점수를 보였다. 체세포점수와 유방깊이, 체세포점수와 앞유두길이의 유전상관은 부의 상관을 보였다.
