Abstract

Complement of test standard, evaluation methods and models are needed to improve national competitiveness and to exchange superior genetic resources through the comparison of genetic evaluation score among nations in dairy cattle. Therefore, this study was conducted for the application of international standard to Korea considering domestic circumstance by changing linear-classification test score system of 50 classes which is currently used in Korea to system of 9 classes which is used in advanced nations of dairy. 15,230 of holstein cow linear type records with first parity records for the fifteen linear type and one total score from 2001 to 2006 and pedigree data which were collected by the Korean Animal Improvement Association were used in this study. Population classified by 9 levels was more normal distributed than 50 levels. Correlation coefficients between 50 and 9 score system showed over 0.98 by each classification scheme. Therefore, the 50 point system can be substituted with 9 point system due to their highly positive correlation. However, scores in all traits were still very contingent on classifier under the 9 point system (p<0.001), and F values between foot angle and front teat attachment showed high fluctuation depending on classifier. It means that subjective opinions of classifier would influence on linear type score as ever even if class scheme transformed to system of 9 class. Therefore, the relevance of transformation to the 9 point system should be assessed after analyses about various environmental factors.

교류와 경쟁력 향상을 위해서는 검정기준, 평가방법과 모델 등에 많은 보완이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구는 현재 국내의 50단계의 심사점수를 낙농선진국에서 채택하고 있는 9점제로의 변환을 통해 국제기준을 국내 현실에 맞게 적용하기 위해 실시했다. 분석에는 한국 종축개량협회(KAIA)의 젖소에 대한 혈통기록 및 2001에서 2006년도 사이에 실시된 체형 측정 기록 중 최종점수와 15개 체형형질에 대해 초산차의 기록을 갖는 32,487두의 암소집단의 선형심사기록 자료가 이용되었다. 9점제로 변경한 집단이 더욱 정규성을 띄는 분포 특성을 나타내었다. 상관분석결과에서도 모든 형질에서 50점제와 9점제 심사 점수간에 0.98 이상의 상관계수를 나타내었다. 따라서, 50 점제에서 9점제로의 변경이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 하지만, 9점제로의 변환 후 모든 형질에서 심사자에 따라 고도의 유의성을 보였고(P<0.001), 점수제간 F값은 발굽기울기와 앞유방의 붙음성은 심사자간 변이가 비교적 높게 나타났다. 이것은 9점제로의 변환 후에도 심사자의 주관적인 요소가 점수에 영향을 미치는 것을 의미한다. 따라서, 선형형질 점수제 변환은 환경효과에 대한 다양한 분석을 통하여 적합성 여부를 결정해야 할 것이다.
