USING CANADIAN VYTELLE (GROWSAFE) TECHNOLOGY FOR EVALUATION QAZAQ AQBAS BREED

Abstract

The article discusses the experience of using the Vytelle technology, which is used in countries with a developed agro-industrial complex with the aim of introducing it in Kazakhstan to assess the breeding and meat qualities of Qazaq Aqbas breed. Currently, Vytelle technology is being implemented in Shalabay LLP, East Kazakhstan region. The objects of research were the young growth of the Kazakh white-headed breed: bulls (n=42) at the age of 10-12 months and heifers (n=55) at the age of 17-21 months. To conduct research, an unloading from the Vytelle database was used. According to the obtained data, the expected residual feed intake of young animals (RFI EPD), average daily gain EPDs (ADG EPD), expected pedigree difference in dry matter intake (DMI EPD), re-sidual feed intake (RFI), residual average daily gain (RADG), average daily live weight gain (ADG), dry matter intake, average per day of the animals at the time of the trial (DMI). The test results are accumulated in the Kazakh database and will be used for further selection and breeding work with the Qazaq Aqbas.

Key Words: Qazaq Aqbas, Vytelle Technology, feed efficiency, live weight.
