What is JerseyGenome™

  • A joint venture to identify potential bull mothers for Jersey New Zealand & CRV AmBreed
  • To generate sires that will enhance the future of the Jersey Breed
  • Marrying of technologies (Breeding and Science).

How does JerseyGenome™ work?

Identification:

There are four main areas that we identify and select animals from, they are as follows:

  1. Nominations from breeders
  2. Female progeny from the two testing year groups of the programme
  3. CRV and JerseyNZ work collaboratively to identify females from a CRV data request
  4. JerseyNZ run a top cow report to identify any animals not captured from the above

Members are asked to send DNA samples of any animals identified above to JerseyNZ who subsequently send those to Genomnz for DNA testing. This cost is covered by CRV.

  1. Genomic results are sent to the JerseyGenome™ Working Group and subsequently vote on each animal
  2. Final team is compiled
  3. Breeders are notified if their animal(s) are successful or unsuccessful, along with their genomic results (free of charge)

  1. Current and previous year’s teams are sent sire recommendations. These are complementary matings for production performance, management and type traits. Genetic variance is used to minimise inbreeding levels in the resulting progeny.
  2. Along with each recommendation, members are sent an expected progeny report free of charge
  3. Sire recommendations are flexible, and each breeder has the opportunity to discuss alternatives
  4. Once confirmed, CRV will supply semen to you for each mating at CRV’s cost, along with any delivery fees. All insemination costs are to be covered by the breeder
  5. Members are to return the signed mating agreement sent from JerseyNZ

  1. Members notify JerseyNZ of any resulting progeny from contract matings
  2. Female progeny are automatically put forward to the JerseyGenome™ programme and male progeny are forwarded to CRV for consideration
  3. All progeny are registered with ‘JG’ after their name and these registrations are free of charge
  4. Members are asked to send DNA samples of all progeny to JerseyNZ

Heifers in the appropriate graduating team must meet certain criteria in order to graduate, these criteria are as follows:

Graduate

  • Recorded in calf on national database and confirmed by owner
  • Heifers have completed a minimum of four herd tests
  • Minimum score of six (6) for Udder Overall
  • Minimum score of six (6) for Dairy Conformation

Merit Graduate

  • Recorded in calf on national database and confirmed by owner
  • Heifers have completed a minimum of four herd tests
  • Minimum score of six (6) for Udder Overall
  • Minimum score of seven (7) for Dairy Conformation
  • NZMI in the top 25% of the JG Graduate contemporaries

 

Elite Graduate

  • Recorded in calf on national database and confirmed by owner
  • Heifers have completed a minimum of four herd tests
  • Minimum score of seven (7) for Udder Overall
  • Minimum score of seven (7) for Dairy Conformation
  • NZMI in the top 1% for both NZMI and BW for all Jersey 2-year-olds milked in NZ
  • Minimum of J16

Performance Award

An award to one heifer. This heifer must meet the graduate criteria and have the largest lift from her ancestry NZMI to NZMI post 4 herd tests.

This award is to acknowledge the heifer who performs well above her expectations, this may not be the highest indexing heifer and gives the heifers with low ancestral (parent averages) starting points an opportunity for an award. Often these heifers are less related to the more common bloodline.

  • Recorded in calf on national database and confirmed by owner
  • Heifers have completed a minimum of four herd tests
  • Minimum score of six (6) for Udder Overall
  • Minimum score of six (6) for Dairy Conformation
  • The highest NZMI increase from ancestry to completion of her first season

JerseyGenome™ News

“Since registering our Lynrich Jersey herd we have been able to put forward a selection of heifers into the JerseyGenome™ programme. Over the past 4 years we have had 10 – 15 heifers selected each year for JerseyGenome™ mating’s. They are contract mated for 2 years.
161 is the dam of our JG progeny, FMHM-20-420 (Lynrich Omnibus Yahoo). She is an exceptional producer with a current PW of 395 and LW of 430 for the 2020/21 season.
She is in calf to Quiz for next season and her dam was one of our best producers but unfortunately we lost her after she broke her hip after calving in 2019.
161 comes from a line of very good looking, good producing cows and we are very keen to continue her family lines. They all have great capacity and strong udders. We are hoping for a replacement heifer next year as she has given us 2 bulls so far!
We are very excited to see how Lynrich Omnibus Yahoo progresses through the JG programme and hope to have another in team in the future.”
