Abstract
The study involved the investigation of pedigree records for 22425 Simmental cows the daughters of 1251 German-Austrian origin bulls in Russian population cattle. The article provides the description of effect for recessive genetic mutations that are specific in Austrian Simmental cattle. 34.8% of cow’ fathers were found to be carriers of genetic mutations that the most common are Bovine Male Subfertility - BMS (7.4%), Thrombopathia - TP (5.8%), Fleckvieh Haplotype 2 - FH2 (4.6%) and more than two mutations (7.1%) has been established. Depending on a bulls’ bloodline the highest frequency of mutations was found for the Egmar (57.5%), Redad (45.3%), Romulus (44.7%), Polzer (42.1%) and Metz (41.3%) founders with minimum values in the Zelot (9.6%) and Dirigent (11.4%) founders. Note that the frequency BMS mutation is highest in Redad (5.5%) and Romulus (5.1%) bloodlines, TP mutation - Redad (9.2%), FH2 - Metz (7.4%) and Honig (5.3%), and ZDL mutation in the Strike (1.4%) bloodlines. Using the "Selex" database 19440 Simmental cows the Russian origin, from which 19.3% through their fathers are potential carriers of genetic mutations were analyzed, with high frequency of occurrence in Perutz (43.5%), Metz (32.4%), Redad (29.55%) and Balbo (26.5%) bloodlines. The daughters’ milk production traits as a potential carriers of genetic mutations was significantly higher by +616 kg milk (p≤0.001) and by +0.04% (p≤0.001) protein percentage, with a small decrease for fat percentage by -0.03% (p≤0.001) as compared with cows whose fathers were a free of carrying. The probability of animals’ presence in herds with homozygous mutations is almost zero due to the lethal effect; however the heterozygous form may well to persist in the Russian population of Simmental cattle breed. The main tool in a further breeding work should be the mating scheme that exclude using of sires like a hidden carriers with cows and heifers whose fathers have a similar recessive genetic mutation as well as required DNA diagnostics for cows in selection group (dam of bulls) and for young bulls.
