Features of conformation type of black-andwhite cows of different origin estimated by linear classification method

The research was carried out in the aspect of studying features of conformation type cows of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy and Holstein breeds estimated by linear classification method. As for the basis we took the herd of the company "Ukrlandfarming, private enterprise "Burynske", Pidlisniv branch in Sumy region. The aim was to conduct a comparative analysis of experimental breeds according to the assessment of linear classification and determine the impact of final score for type on milk productivity first-born cows. In general, first-born cows of both breeds were characterized by good linear estimation, especially on a 100-score scale. However, animals of Holstein breed in comparison with Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy were better in terms of body parts, which characterize the dairy type by 1.3 score, body - by 0.8 score, udder - by 1.2 score and the final assessment - by 0.8 score (P <0.001).On the trait of chest width, Holstein animals were inferior to their Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breeds with reliable difference of 1.3 score, but exceeded in angularity - by 1.2 score, strength of fore udder parts attachment - on 0.8 score, central ligament - by 1.1 score (P <0.001).The final estimation level of first-born cows for conformation type directly proportionally determined their milk productivity in 305 days of the first lactation. Cows of Holstein and Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed with score - "very good" exceeded their peers with score - "good with plus" for milking by 785 and 589 kg (P˂0.01) respectively, and with score of "good" - by 1705 and 1502 kg (P˂0.001). The use in the selection process of dairy cattle, in determining cows breeding value, linear classification method will be a very effective means of objective definition breed features of conformation type. The presence of correlative relationship between the final score and milk productivity level will contribute to the effectiveness of selection in the indirect sampling of animals on these traits.

Key words: Holstein, Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy, linear type assessment, conformation, milk yield.
