Lactation length of milking cows in the Dairy Herd Improvement Program from 1995 to 2004 were 346(n=9491 cows), 351(9991), 352(9435), 350(9962), 360(13709), 347(14891), 342(15301), 348(17493), 356(20051) and 352(12747) days, respectively. Mean age of drying for milking from 1995 to 2004 were 5.21, 5.29, 5.29, 5.33, 5.25, 5.22, 5.17, 5.09, 5.06 and 5.11 years old, respectively. Most of means on lactation length in years were more than 350 days; therefore, the possibility to having one calving per year would be less. However, the top first rank cow had 330 days of calving interval as compared from 3760 cows which giving birth during the period between November of 2003 and April of 2004 with their pedigree data. The 100th cow of top listings had 337 days of calving interval, which that there were more than 2%(100/3760) of cows having the ability to having one calving per year as compared to the mean of 450 days on calving interval in the population. There were 22% of cows had four and more lactations in the top 100 cows with the shortest calving interval. Cow ID 10016147, daughter of 29H4397 bull, had a mean of 335 days on her 10 lactations. A total of 14,866 cow having three lactations within five year olds dated from 1997 to 2004 and mean of calving interval of each cow was calculated and ranked in ascending order. There were 27.4%(4074/14866) of cows with calving interval less than 365 days. In the greater six county region of cow herds, frequencies of one calving per year was 36.0%(1041/2889) in Chunghua, 24.1%(680/2821) in Tainan, 12.6%(269/2138) in Pingtung, 30.5%(649/2131) in Chiayi, 19.9%(316/1586) in Yulin, and 30.6%(299/976) in Kaohsiung. Month ratio for calving among January to June were calculated and it showed that March was the highest and was 20.9% in 2002, 20.3% in 2003 and 27.4% in 2004 with growth. Milk yield of 305-2X-ME were 6903, 7085 and 7107 kg, respectively, for milking cows in May of 2002 to 2004. Hence, cows gave birth in March not only to shorten lactation length to 305 days but also to maintain a 365-day of calving interval and such reproduction way would easily to have the status of one calving per year in Taiwan.

Key Words: Dairy cows, Calving interval, Lactation length.

以日增重(kg/d)、飼料效率及背脂厚度(cm) 1.0: -1.0 : -0.5 及1996年美國豬種改進聯盟推薦的制式豬種改良程序遺傳參數資料為中心,進行敏感度模擬分析。結果發現,遺傳參數變動對指數的係數變動影響很大,相對的有限經濟加權值變動的影響則較可預測,如經濟加權值為 1.0 : -1.0: -0.5 改變至 1.0: -1.2 : -0.8 則指數 b值由 75.2、 -48.0、 -39.6,變化為 60.5 、 -42.2、 -43.7。若性狀間存在高度的表型相關,如日增重與飼料效率間存在高度的表型相關(≦ -0.6,如 –0.7、–0.8、-0.9),會造成如同迴歸分析中多重共線的迴歸係數估計問題,影響指數的穩定性(指數係數正負號與經濟加權值正負號不一致)。池(1980)首次研訂台灣種豬選拔指數後,已使用於檢定站二十多年,由於豬種在進步,飼料、工資及醫療費用隨國際榖價、國民所得與時間而波動,二十年前首訂的台灣的種豬的選拔指數需要適時加以修訂。依敏感度分析結果,建議小幅度修正經濟加權值,並重新彙整國內外遺傳參數文獻,引用折衷之遺傳參數,作為重新制定中央檢定指數之依據。另一個替代方案則為以混合模式估計各性狀個體育種價,再直接以經濟加權值等比平移轉換( Ī = 100, σI = 25)計算種豬指數。

Based on economic weights of ADG (kg/day), FE (Feed/Gain), and BF thickness (cm) with ratio of 1.0 : -1.0 : -0.5 and genetic parameters of Guidelines for Uniform Swine Improvement Programs (The National Swine Improvement Federation, NSIF, Cynthia and Todd, 1996), trails of sensitive analysis were simulated. Genetic parameters had considerable influence on estimated coefficients of selection indices. However, reasonable changes of economic weight will not sway of b vector of index to unpredictable range. For example, changes of the economic weights from 1.0 : -1.0: -0.5 to 1.0: -1.2 : -0.8 would change the b vector from 75.2, -48.0, -39.6 to 60.5, -42.2, -43.7 only. However, high phenotypic correlation(rp), such as rp of ADG and FE ≦ -0.6(-0.7, -0.8, or -0.9), may produce unstable estimates as multicollinearity problems in the regression analysis. Because, swine selection indices of Taiwan were first proposed by Chyr(1980) in 25 five years ago. Many improvements achieved in the pig industry, reevaluation of the swine selection index becomes crucial for further efficient breeding practice. For changes of the new index, suggestions includes, 1) re-ratio the economic weights by new market information 2) review new published genetic parameters of Taiwan and other countries. Suggestions 1) and 2) can be used to rebuild the selection index. But, alternative option is using the mixed model to estimate breeding value of each trait of individual first, and then weight traits by economic values directly, finally, transform the coefficients of index to achieve Ī = 100, σI = 25.

Key Words: Selection index, Economic weight, Genetic parameters.

A total of fifteen microsatellite markers averagely spread on swine chromosome 8 (SSC8) were used to genotype 242 parous sows, including Landrace, Yorkshire, Duroc and Berkshire breeds. These markers spanned about 130 cM on the linkage map of SSC8. Three traits including litter size at birth and born alive as well as the corresponding survivability of piglets were considered in this study. The result indicated that there were significant breed effects existed in the distribution of allele frequency for all markers analyzed. The general linear model via least-squared method was further applied to study the relationship between litter performances described above and the presence of individual allele for parous sows in Landrace, Yorkshire and Duroc breeds. Both positive and negative effects of alleles on sows’ performances were observed. For example, the marker-allele groups (KS188-B8), (KS141-B2 and KS168-B3), (KS148-B2, -B5, -B8, KS192-B5, KS141-B1, and KS140-B3), and (SW1843-B1, -B9, and SW61-B15) were beneficial for Landrace, Yorkshire, Duroc, and Berkshire sows, respectively. However, alleles with inferior effects on sows’ litter performances were also found in this study.

遺傳多樣性係由生物為適應環境而演化所形成的,為目前國際研究的熱門重點之一。而以微衛星型遺傳標記評估動、植物之遺傳多樣性則為廣受研究人員所應用的技術。因此,本研究嘗試以九種豬微衛星型遺傳標記,篩檢78頭蘭嶼豬與60頭桃園豬基因組DNA,再將所得到的遺傳標記交替基因分布頻率以套裝軟體DISPAN分析,其結果為蘭嶼豬的平均異質性為0.49±0.08,桃園豬則為0.44±0.08,但由於九個遺傳標記的其中一個標記,其所篩檢樣品的分析結果,僅出現兩個交替基因,故導致整個族群平均異質性下降。因此,在以微衛星型遺傳標記估算生物基因多樣性時,應該慎選足夠數量並具有代表性的遺傳標記,如此分析出來的數值才比較客觀正確。

關鍵語:微衛星型標記、遺傳多樣性、平均異質性。

Genetic diversity is formed with biological evolution to make organisms accommodate the environmental changes and it is one of the hot studies in the world. Analyzing the genetic diversities of animals and plants with microsatellite markers is served as a tool in which is applied by many related researchers. Therefore, a total of nine porcine microsatellite markers averagely spread on seven chromosomes were used to genotype the genomic DNAs of 78 Lanyu and 60 Taoyuan pigs, respectively. Allele Frequencies of nine markers were used and then analyzed by the package software of DISPAN. The results showed that the average heterozygosities of Lanyu and Taoyuan pigs were 0.49±0.08 and 0.44±0.08, respectively. The average heterozygosity of a population is lower than the expected, for one of nine markers has only two alleles in the analysis. Hence, when using microsatellite markers to evaluate the biological genetic diversity, the adequate and representative markers should be considered carefully. And consequently, the calculated value of genetic diversity will be more objective and accurate.

Key Words: Microsatellite marker, Genetic diversity, Average heterozygosity.

The aim of this present study was to investigate representing ancient and current varieties of pig breeds in Taiwan. Phylogenetic relationships among pig breeds in Taiwan were assessed using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop sequences. A phylogram tree was constructed from pairwise distances using sequences determined for published sequences of European pigs (including Berkshire, Duroc, Landrace and Yorkshire) and Meishan; local (LRI Mitsai pig, Lanyu, Formosan mountain Boar, TLRI Black No.1 and Lanyu × Formosan mountain Boar hybrids) breeds. The result showed LRI Mitsai pig clustered together with Lanyu and Lanyu × Formosan mountain Boar hybrids, respectively. Lanyu was likely to the Formosan mountain Boar, indicating that Formosan mountain Boar may run into corrals and break the hereditary. Though TLRI Black No.1 was the Taoyuan and Duroc hybrids, Berkshire was also similar to TLRI Black No.1. The inferred reasons have to further analyze and compare the pedigree. Using mtDNA to research porcine maternal inheritance and then to trace back the evolution of various breeds can be effective for researches of extranuclear genetics in pigs. Results found mtDNA can be used to recognize maternal origin for hybrid pigs and to comprehend the evolution in various pig breeds.

Taoyuan pig had ever played an important role in Taiwan’s swine production. Traditionally the pig was raised by kitchen waste, potato, and vine sweet and due to a longer raise period, pigs had a thicker back fat. Therefore the pig was eliminated gradually and faces a risk of extinct. In the Taoyuan pig conserve project of 2003, the formation of wrinkle has been observed and showed that the forehead of Taoyuan piglet at birth already had significant wrinkles compared with Duroc and Landrace of the same age, and the wrinkle type was observed from radiant straight to zigzag curve by growth. The tail of Taoyuan piglet at birth showed circular wrinkle, besides the number and depth were gradually increased from the 2nd month. Taoyuan piglet on the 1st month already had a fallen abdomen, and the transformation of fallen belly became more obvious by raising. While Taoyuan pig was three months old, the sunken back was generated and the belly was nearly touched to the ground.

Key Words: Taoyuan pig, Wrinkle observation.

Sow productivity depends on litter size born alive and gestation interval. Sows with pedigree registered were recorded for their birth data from 1992 to 2003. A total of 51,184 litters was used from Duroc sows and the average of litter size born alive was 8.63 head. There was 9.45 head of litter size born alive from Landrace sows of 83,932 litters. Yorkshire sows had 8.92 head born alive per litter from 27,636 litters in average. For the past 12 years, Duroc had 8.18+2.65 (Mean+SD) head born alive per litter and increased to 9.32+2.42 head; from 8.91+2.76 head up to 10.20+2.50 head in Landrace sows; from 8.77+2.85 head to 8.99+2.59 head in Yorkshire sows, respectively. Due to FMD outbreak in 1997, there was a decrease of 20~30% on number of litters registered resulting from sow culling. However, the average litter size born alive increased after keeping most of prolific sows in a nuclear herd. The largest number in a litter ranged from 15 to 22 of alive piglets in recording data. The largest one was 21 alive piglets in Duroc dated on 2001; 21 in Landrace dated on 1994 and 22 piglets in Yorkshire dated on 1997. Data of litter performance in a breeding herd is able to evaluate reproductive efficiency of a sow herd. Housing environment for sows in relation to temperature and relative humidity, like 79.2~85.2% of RH varied in month with a mean of 82.7% and along with hot weather during June to August above the 23.2℃ of annual mean temperature in Taiwan. Therefore, sows raised in the southern region of Taiwan during the period of April to November would cause fetal loss, low farrowing rate and small litter size born alive which associated with her mating month and pregnant months.

The purpose of this study was to explore the reason of using performance data in pig conformation judging and to understand the influence of performance on conformation judging. Data of pig conformation judging was collected from Jan. 2002 to Mar. 2004. There were 1602 pigs performance tested totally, in which 1438 was young boars and 164 was gilts. Judging practiced only on top 30% to top 50% animals based on test performance. Re-edited data set kept animals’ with index equal or above 100 only. Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient (rs) was the main statistic for the associations. In the data set, Duroc boar had highest frequency( > 50%) completed the performance test and frequency of Landrace boar was next to Duroc boars. The certified pigs was around 20%, 308 pigs, 250 boars and 58 gilts, in total. The Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient of Duroc boars was 0.73 which indicated high association between performance and conformation judging’s. But, the high coefficient of the Landrace boars might related to the difference of the selection goals between sire line and dam line. The rs s of Duroc and Landrace gilts were 0.5 and 1.0 respectively which implied gilts of Duroc might too emphasized on muscularity and turned to less consistent than Landrace gilts’.

The objective of this study was to investigate the frequency of twinning rate of Taiwan Holsteins and to test the reliability of DNA freemartin diagnosis. A total of 1284 reproductive records of cows at Livestock Research Institute, Council of Agriculture from 1987 to 2003 were analyzed. The twinning rate were 2.9% (37/1284) and heterozygous twinning rate was 1.3% (17/1284). Rectal palpation diagnosed freemartins held around one year old for the heterozygous twins. Only one heifer was normal in these 17 heterozygous twins. Tracing breeding records, the “normal heifer” grew up as a normal cow and gave a calf at last. There were four set blood samples applied for the reliability of DNA test, including the “normal heifers’ samples” and three other heterozygous twins from a southern dairy farm of Taiwan. AMX/Y was the selected as sexing genetic marker to identify genotypes of these animals. Test Results proved that the genotype of the “normal heifer” was a normal female, but other three heterozygous twins all had male genotypes. Results from this study indicated twining rate of Taiwan Holsteins was higher than 2.5% and DNA trials supported AMX/Y genetic marker was a simple and easy technique for diagnosis of freemartin in dairy cattle.

Genetic variation in the N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase (G6S) gene is the key role in caprine Mucopolysaccharidosis IIID. A more efficient SSCP (single-strand conformation polymorphism) method is experimented to identify goat G6S genotypes, allowing the detection of the sequence variation without using endonuclease. Comparing the reported G6S PCR-RFLP method, which applied the restriction site around the 322 mutation position (C→T) of N-acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase cDNA. Instead, with new designed primers, the updating PCR-SSCP was one of the efficient alternatives for identifying G6S mutant genotypes. From the PCR-SSCP tested results of 49 blood samples of Nubian goats, there were four carrier and 45 normal, which was consisted with PCR-RFLP’s. The advantage of the improved goat G6S SSCP over RFLP analysis was having minimal number of steps, which can save time and total cost with acceptable accuracy.
