Summary. Our study was aimed
to evaluate effect of genetic and non-genetic factors and their combination on
calf growth rate in Aberdeen-Angus cattle. There were 52 cows genotyped by
SNPs L127V, F279Y, A257G of growth hormone and growth
hormone receptor genes. Calves (n = 430) were assessed with average
daily gain during milk period (ADG, g/day) and were weighted at birth, at
weaning (210 days), 8, 12, 15, and 18 months. SNP genotyping of cows included L127V,
F279Y, A257G of GH and GHR genes. The
data were analyzed using a multiple regression model
and ANOVA. There were strong differences between bulls and
heifers for all parameters being at least 1.5–2 kg at birth or
5–8%, 7–10 kg at weaning or 4–6%, 6–11 kg at
8 month or 3–6%, 12–18 (45) kg at 1 year or
4–6% (13%), 15–50 kg at 15 month or 5–16% and
30–80 kg at 18 month or 8–18. The highest birth
weight at autumn season for both bulls and heifers and ADG was higher for
summer-born calves due to better forage regimen of dams. The calving effect was
observed for birth weight slightly decrease from first to later calving
presenting difference at least 5–6% for 2nd and 3rd calving
then 8–12% — for 4th to last calving for both
sexes. The effect of parity stay to be evident for bulls of all ages, the
difference between calves slightly decreased. Female calves were
significantly affected by calving interval, where longer calving
intervals produced heavier newborns and weaners, at least 3 and 30 g/day
of CI, accordingly. When evaluating the reproductive and productive performance
of breeding cows we should consider effect of season, date of previous calving
and actual weaning weight of previous calves either.
