Abstract
The purpose of this study was to estimate variance componenets and determination of effective factor on survival in Holstein cows. The information of used for this study included of 168866 Holstein survival records. The information of several herds that collected by Animal Breeding Center of Iran duration of 26 years (1985- 2011) for Holstein cows were used. After data edition, effective factors on survival and culling risk were determined by Survival and cmprsk software. Estimation of variance component was performed with using of exponential distribution for censored dates by fitting of model with additive effect (animal model) by using of MCMCglmm software. A total of 100000 replications were generated in the analisys and a burn in period of 10000 samples was used with samples taken each 75 cycles. The result showed that environmental factors such as year of calving, number of lactation periods, calving easy, and herd were significant in level of 0.001 and month of calving was significant in evel of 0.01. Based of survival change function, more of population were culled in ages of 200 to 3000 days and after 3000 days, culling probability had mils slope of decreaseing. The high level of calving easy had higher culling probability than low levels. The heritability value for survival in univarite and multi varite analysis were estimated 0.0184, 0.0182- 0.0216, respectively that indicates additive genetic contrivutions for this traits is low and genetic selection for this trait was not effective. The genetic correlation between survival with milk production, calving easy and bith weight were negative. The results of this study suggests that environmental effect must be included in the model of analysis survival and pay attention to environmental and manage ment factors for improve of survival trait. Given the negative correlation between survival and milk production, calving easy and birth weight traits, improving of this traits decreased survival of animals.
