we chose to use immunity+ bulls because it just makes sense. we can improve herd health without increasing costs.
i am very happy with immunity+ sires. During the harsh winter weve just had, we didnt treat any immunity+ calves for scours or pneumonia and im pleased with their response to vaccines. and that makes my job easier!

UNDERSTANDING U.S. SIRE PROOFSType Performance Index (TPI)Combines genetic proofs forproduction, type, longevity andfertility into a single value.Higher is better.GTPI = Genomic TPI value
Origin of Production proof USDA = Domestic proof; HA = Domestic ProofMACE = Interbull MACE ProofThe letter G indicates the inclusion of genomic information
Net Merit (NM)Additional net profit
the offspring will provide over her
lifetime.Expressed in $US.
Predicted Transmitting Ability - Type (PTAT)Average: 0Higher is better.
ANIMAL MODEL The animal model represents proven methodology for calculating Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTAs). Evaluations are based on the animal and its relationship to other animals being evaluated. Information from the animal itself, its ancestors, and its progeny are incorporated, with all known relationships among the animals considered.
PRODUCTION TRAITS Production traits are expressed in predicted transmitting ability, which is an estimate of the genetic superiority or inferiority that an animal will transmit to the offspring.
TYPE TRAITS Type Traits are expressed as Standardized Transmitting Abilities (STAs). This allows you to easily compare different traits of the same bull and see which traits have the most extreme values. The graph below illustrates normal distribution of bull proofs for conformation traits.
STANDARD DEVIATIONS Simply put, the standard deviation tells us how far a bull is from the mean (average) value of all the bulls in the breed. The graph below shows the normal distribution of bull proofs for type traits with 68% of bulls ranging from -1 to +1, 95% from -2 to +2, 99% from -3 to +3, etc.).For most bulls their scores will be close to the average of all the bulls, while fewer bulls will score at the high end or at the low end. Very few bulls reach scores as high as +4 as compared with over 99% of bulls that fall in the range of +3 to -3.

Somatic Cell Score (SCS)An indicator trait for mastitis resistance based on the direct measure of somatic cells in milk samples. Lower is better.
Productive Life (PL)Measurement of longevity, including yield information.Higher is better.
Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR)The percentage of non-pregnant cows that become pregnant during each 21-day period. A bull with a DPR of 1 indicates that his daughters are 1% more likely to become pregnant than a bull with a DPR of 0.Higher is better.
Based on daughter classification.Average: 0Higher is better.

UNDERSTANDING CANADIAN SIRE PROOFSLifetime Profit Index 51% Production34% Durability15% Health & FertilityGLPI - Genomic LPI
Indicates the source and date of the proof.The letter G indicates genomic information.
PRODUCTION - Based on the Canadian Test Day Model using Estimated Breeding Values from 1st, 2nd & 3rd lactation for Milk, Fat and Protein yield which are blended together to achieve one published rating. A Rolling Genetic Base is used to express Production EBVs. In 2014, this base includes all cows born during a 3-year period centred 7 years ago (2006-2008) having test day records in the CTDM genetic evaluation analysis.
A
CONFORMATION - Conformation proofs are expressed as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) displayed using a -20 to +20 scale, with a standard deviation of 5. A rolling Genetic Base is used to express Conformation EBVs. In 2014, this base includes all proven bulls born in the most recent 10-year period (1999-2008). A sires conformation proof is based on all classifications of his first lactation daughters using a linear type classification system. Daughter scores provide the basis for EBVs for major type and descriptive traits. Major traits can be used to narrow down the field of sires (e.g. feet and legs.) Descriptive traits can be used to focus on specific traits (e.g. correct foot angle).
B
DESCRIPTIVE TRAITS - Descriptive traits are evaluated using the same method as the Conformation but focuses on specifics with the greater number being preferable except for the Mid-Scoring traits that are circled. For the Mid-Scoring traits the higher the number the greater the tendency to exhibit the trait as noted by the letter (e.g. 9S - very high tendency to transmit Straight for Rear Leg Side View). A value of 0 is considered the most correct.
C
HEALTH & REPRODUCTION TRAITS - A collection of genetic evaluations to be used as herd management tools. By avoiding sires significantly below breed average for these traits, breeders can augment the effectiveness of their overall breeding program.
D
daughters & herds with conformation data (Reliable accuracy)
FUNCTIONAL TRAITSRange: 85 - 115Average: 100Higher is better* except for SCS, where the range is 2.00 - 4.00 and the average is 3.00. In this case, lower is better.
Daughter fertility ratings are comprised of: Age to 1st Service 10%Calving to 1st Service 25%Cow Non-Return Rate 65%
LIFETIME PROFIT INDEX - The LPI provides a single rating of the overall genetic merit of a sire based on the production, conformation and auxiliary traits known to affect longevity, durability and profitability of its daughters. If the sire has been genotyped for the 50K SNP panel, a GLPI is provided instead of an LPI.
ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUE - Production proofs are expressed as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs), which are measured in Mature Equivalent Kilograms, for Milk, Fat and Protein Yield. The single EBV published for Milk, Fat and Protein Yield is the average of the first three lactations. EBVs are also provided for Fat and Protein Percentages.
CANADIAN TEST DAY MODEL - The Canadian Dairy Network (CDN) is responsible for calculating production proofs for sires and cows using the Canadian Test Day Model (CTDM), which compares the progeny of each sire to their contemporaries using data from each test day. A unique feature of the CTDM is that separate EBVs are available for Milk, Fat and Protein yield, as well as Persistency and Somatic Cell Score, for each of the first three lactations.
ROLLING PRODUCTION BASE - Production and conformation EBVs are calculated relative to a rolling base which is updated in January each year. In 2014, the rolling base includes all cows born during a 3-year period (2006-2008) having test day records in the CTDM evaluation. Active sires tend to have higher production EBVs, since their proofs are expressed relative to this cow base. Conversely, the EBVs of older sires tend to decline as the rolling base is adjusted.

STANDARD DEVIATIONS - Simply put, the standard deviation tells us how far a bull is from the mean (average) value of all the bulls. The graph on the right shows the normal distribution of bull proofs for conformation traits with 68% of bull ranging from -5 to +5, 95% from -10 to +10, 99% from -15 to +15, etc.).
For most bulls their scores will be close to the average of all the bulls, while fewer bulls will score at the high end or at the low end. Very few bulls reach scores as high as +19 as compared with over 99% of bulls falling in the range of +15 to -15.For more information on Canadian Proving System visit the Canadian Dairy Network at http://www.cdn.ca

no matter whether you manage your cows on pasture, in commercial housing or by other methods, its a big challenge to maintain a healthy herd of profitable and efficient cows. If a cow becomes affected by disease, modern management and medicine are used to remedy the situation. If thats not possible, the unfortunate decision to cull the animal may have to be made. Either way, both result in added costs that must be absorbed by the dairy but what if it didnt have to be that way? What if there was a way to breed cows that have a higher immune response, and thereby have a greater resistance to disease built right into them?
for generations, weve all observed cows or cow families that were more resilient (less sick) than others. At Semex, we believe the key to better health lies in the genes and with Immunity+ sires we can successfully breed both a healthier cow and a healthier herd.
The High Immune response (HIr) technology developed by dr. bonnie Mallard and her colleagues at the university of Guelph has been more researched than most technologies that are brought to the farm. This research tells us that HIr cows have 19-30% lower incidence of disease compared to the herd average. And, these cows respond better to commercial vaccines and also produce higher quality colostrum for their calves. As a result, theyre more profitable, by bringing in more revenue, lowering costs and wasting less of the dairymans time.
The discovery of HIr was a game changer, as it revealed that high immunity is passed on from parent to progeny at rates much like production and some conformation traits. compared to most health traits with low heritabilities of
