Vyhodnocení vybraných vlivů na vyřazování a dlouhověkost dojnic / Evaluation of selected impacts of elimination and longevity of dairy cows

The aim of this thesi is the evaluation of selected impacts of elimination and longevity of Holstein and Czech spotted dairy cows on the Ing. Bohuslav Vacka´s farm in Vrchotovy Janovice according to the reason of this elimination, the age at the first calving, milk production of the first milk lactation, lifetime milk lactation and the number of milk lactation during the lifetime. I also evaluated functional longevity (from the first calving to retirement) and the longevity of life (from the birth to retirement) of retired dairy cows and the relationship between age at the first calving, milk production of the first lactation and lifetime milk production. In monitoring were included 359 pieces of cows eliminated during five years, from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2014. From these, 217 pieces of Holstein cows and 142 pieces of Czech spotted cows. Both breeds were stalled in the same barn with the same nutrition. At the monitored group were eliminated altogether 31.22% of dairy cows. Holstein cows were excluded very often from other medical reasons (28.57%) and the Czech spotted cows for fertility disorders (45.77%). Higher milk productivity and higher average number of lactations for the life reached eliminated Holstein cows in comparison with the Czech spotted cows. Longer lifetime longevity reached Holstein cows (63 months) than Czech spotted cows (53.6 months) and among them was found highly significant difference at a significance level of p 0,001. Higher longevity and lifetime milk production in kg of milk reached Holstein cows calved in 25 to 26 months and Czech spotted cows calved within 27 to 28 months. The relationship between age at the first calving and lifetime milk production at Holstein (r = 0.018) and Czech spotted cows (r = 0.0434) proved to be an insignificant dependence and the relationship between milk production at the first lactation and lifetime milk production at Holstein (r = 0.3317) and Czech spotted cows (r = 0.4436) proved to be as a highly significant correlation (p 0.001).
