Abstract

Objective. Monitoring the available gene pool and productivity o f dairy and dairy-meat cattle in breeding entities o f Ukraine as o f January 1, 2024 to determine the state o f the industry and bring it out o f a critical state, as well as search for factors that will serve to improve economically useful traits in heifers and cows o f the Ayrshire and Ukrainian black-and-white dairy breeds. Methods. Analytical, zootechnical, statistical, experiment using data from the State Register o f Subjects o f Breeding in Animal Husbandry for 2023, materials from breeding records, an information database on dairy cattle management ”Buryonka” in the herd o f the Ayrshire breed o f the State Enterprise "Dekabristov State Farm o f the Institute o f Pig Breeding and Agro-Industrial Production o f the NAAS and the results o f our own research, as well as materials from breeding records o f 7 breeding farms for breeding cattle o f the Ukrainian black-and-white dairy breed and the electronic information database SUMS ORSEK. The live weight and growth o f heifers during the growing process, milk productivity and reproductive ability were studied. The degree o f influence o f genotypic and paratypic factors on the phenotypic variability ofproductivity traits was assessed by means o f one-factor analysis o f variance. Results. Monitoring o f the state o f the dairy cattle breeding industry showed the presence o f 321 breeding subjects in Ukraine, where cattle o f 11 breeds o f domestic and foreign origin were exploited for milk production. The leaders in terms o f milk yield for the first and third lactation are Holstein cows. The age o f cows at first insemination varied within 365-662 days, positively highlighting the Holstein breed. The improvement o f the live weight o f Ayrshire heifers during rearing is consistent with the technology o f rearing animals at an early age, the bull, the father o f the offspring, the lineage and methods o f selecting parental pairs, and the milk productivity o f cows is consistent with the methods o f selecting parental pairs, as confirmed by the degree o f influence o f genotypic and paratypic factors on the phenotypic variability o f productivity traits. In heifers o f the Ukrainian black-and-white dairy breed, which were raised under progressive and traditional milk production technology, the increase in live weight gains during rearing will be facilitated by such genotypic factors as the lineage o f animals and their paternal origin. At the same time, the conditional bloodline o f the Holstein breed had a low (0.3-2.5 %) and insignificant effect on the growth rate o f heifers. Conclusions. Monitoring o f the dairy industry in subjects o f tribal affairs as of 01.01. 2024 indicates that from most existing breeds, including domestic ones, which were created using the best global gene pool, higher productivity can be obtained, but at the same time, milk production technology should be taken into account, which is considered to be almost the most important factor, certainly after selection. To improve the economically useful characteristics o f cattle o f the Ayrshire and Ukrainian blackand-white dairy breeds, it is necessary to identify factors o f a genotypic and paratypic nature and select animals taking them into account.

Key words: cattle, dairy breeds, gene pool, productivity, genotypic and paratypic factors, phenotypic variability, strength o f influence.
