摘要

One of the main genetic factors that affect the efficiency of commercial breeding programs is hybrid vigor, or heterosis. Heterosis is defined as the superior performance of crossbred cattle compared to the average of their purebred parental base. Heterosis has the highest effects on traits with lowheritabilities such as fertility, longevity, and milk production. If a progeny is crossbred from two purebred parents, it will get one set of unique and different alleles from each parent and have direct heterosis. Direct heterosis is the higher performance of progeny compared to the average of their parents. Direct heterosis has the most impact on growth rate and size traits of the calf. If the dam is a crossbred herself, she will have heterosis that will benefit her calf. The dam will exhibit heterosis for maternal effects, such as milk production, and this maternal heterosis will help the calf have a higher weaning weight than if the calf had a straightbred dam. If you combine the advantage of having calves that will grow bigger faster with the advantage of cows that will stay in your herd longer while producing heavier calves, it is obvious why utilizing both direct and maternal heterosis is advantageous to your breeding program.
