NE WS2 SYSTEM Paul Lubout CONTENT 1. Genetic inheritance similar to livestock 2. DNA not the magic solution. Can be used for: 3. 4. • Identification • Parentage • Origin – Mitochondrial (female) • Single gene trait selection • SNP – whole genome, 700k, 54k 10k Wildlife database • Pedigree • Phenotype • Single genes – colour • Multiple gene traits - horn length Genomics WS2 DATABASE SYSTEM WHAT YOU ALREADY DO You already have the following within the group: micro chip ear tags DNA profiles Horn measurements A historic data can be used WS2 DATABASE SYSTEM PEDIGREE 1. Why ? How did YOU know what bull bred the best: • “Piet”, • “Madala” • or “Charlie” 2. You will not know it until you have parentage Is the Dam important – YES - she contributes 50% 3. Pedigree certificate 4. Inbreeding - minimize INTERNET SOLUTIONS • • • • Animal enquiry system Breeder enquiry system Mating predictor Sales catalogues INTERNET SOLUTIONS • Animal enquiry system • Animal & Pedigree • Photos (3) • Animal details • measurements INTERNET SOLUTIONS • Breeder enquiry system • Contact details • Logo INTERNET SOLUTIONS • Breeder enquiry system Mating prediction • Inbreeding percentage • EBV’s of progeny if available • Internet based – breeder can do any time INTERNET SOLUTIONS • Sales catalogues • Service to breeders • Service to auction companies NB!!! WS2 does not do sales THE NEXT STEP –WS2 OBJECTIVE MEASUREMENT PROF JAN BONSMA: “OM TE MEET IS OM TE WEET” thus IF YOU MEASURE YOU KNOW YOU ARE CORRCT IN YOUR ASSESMENT Average Horn Growth by Bull 2010 born calves NAME MADALA GROWTH (MM/DAY) 0.91 CHARLIE 0.95 PIET 0.96 Average Horn Growth by Bull 2011 born calves NAME MADALA GROWTH (MM/DAY) 1.046 (1) CHARLIE 0.956(3) PIET 0.963 (5) SELECTION INDEX (SA) You measure all the animals on a specific date born within 45 days You calculate the average of all animals You then calculate the selection index (animals own value – average value) X 100 average value Animals above 100 above average Animals below average below 100 Work out average for different bulls Accuracy 45 -50% WHAT IS an EBV? Prediction of genetic value of an animal for e.g. Horn Length Based on: Animals own performance Animals relatives performance Relationship between traits “ Is the best prediction of an animals genetic value” (80% accuracy) THE NEXT STEP –WS2 BUILD ON SUCCSES You already DO following: micro chip ear tags DNA profiles Horn measurements Historic data gives you a competitive advantage over persons starting today without any information Even if you start today you can have benefits within 12 months and you can within a few years have full benefit of WS2 system SUMMARY YOU ARE HALFWAY THERE BUT IF YOU DO NOT START YOU WILL NEVER GET THERE JOIN WS2 STAY AHEAD OF THE PACK HANDOUT WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDOUT: 1. Pamphlet on WS2 system 2. Pamphlet on genetic tools • Internet solutions • GenProb • MateSel 3. Registration certificate THANK YOU!!!/BAIE DANKIE!!! A NEW DAWN
