Genomic young sires continue to show their genetic superiority in the UK

Tuesday, August 12th, 2014
The genetic superiority of genomic young sires continues as the latest genomic ranking is released by DairyCo (12 August) which features no less than nine elite sires exceeding £600 for the newly revised Profitable Lifetime Index (£PLI).
The list is topped by a new number one sire in Apina Norman with a £PLI of £635. This Numero Uno x Ramos, excels in daughter fertility and longevity with scores of +12.4 and +0.6 respectively. He combines all this with solid production and high type figures.
River-bridge Co-op Troy ranks second (PLI £621) and is another genomic giant for fitness. This Mogul x Freddie also transmits high type (Type Merit +2.69) and transmits positive milk solids.
Third ranking Farneur Alfalfa climbs from 21st position in the previous index run and benefits from the new £PLI revamp thanks to his moderate sized daughters that are efficient milk producers and have outstanding fitness and fertility. Trailing by only one point in fourth position is the high type Mr Moviestar Mardi Gras, up from 15th place last time.
With a PLI of £610, in fifth position is Co-op Robust Cabriolet (Robust x Planet) who breeds daughters with high production and low maintenance cost. He combines this efficiency with solid fitness and type.
The first UK-housed and internationally popular Cogent Supershot ranks sixth and is the highest milk and protein bull in the top 20 (PLI £605).
With a PLI of £602 is Bomaz AltaArmani, a bull with good milk solids, SCC and daughter fertility.
The highest transmitter of kg fat and previous number one genomic sire is Seagull-Bay Silver, now ranking eighth with a PLI of £601 and a TM of +3.52.
Squeezing into the group of £600+ PLI sires is Lepacha Loberry with an all-round good production, type and fitness rating.
Rounding off the top 10 is Ladys-Manor Graf La-Bron, whose PLI is £596.

Just outside the top 10, but highest UK-born and one of the very best percentage fat transmitters at +0.25% is Willsbro Relief (Numero Uno descending from Stardale Leader Roxy EX95), with a PLI of £595.
Other high UK-born sires in the top 100 are Woodcatt Lincoln (PLI £529, +4.01 TM), Wiltor Cruise (PLI £528), Ards Paramount (PLI £526) and Towerview Galaxy (PLI £518).
“It’s not difficult to see why genomic young sires are continuing to grow in popularity when you look at the quality of bulls on offer,” says DairyCo’s head of genetics, Marco Winters. “The top 100 £PLI bulls are all high positive lifespan bulls; they’re all strong SCC improvers and all but four improve daughter fertility.
“They’re also strong type improvers, which they manage to combine with high kg milk and – taken as an average across the group – they’ll also improve milk solids,” he says. “There’s certainly enough choice to pick from to suit any individual dairy producer’s demands and I’d continue to recommend every producer added at least a small selection of carefully chosen genomic sires to their flask.”
