DIRECT AND CORRELATE EXPECTED GENETIC RESPONSE TO TOTAL MILK PRODUCTION AND SERVICE PER CONSUMPTION IN IRAQI BUFFALOES (BUBALUS BUBALIS)

This study was carried out at the Al-Hashimia district (50 km west of Babil Governorate) during 2/7/2018 and 1/6/2019 to 150 Iraqi buffaloes was to investigate the estimation of direct and correlated genetic response dependent on phenotypic values for total milk production (TMP),Service per consumptions (SPC) and economic value (EV) of both traits to different criteria of selection program (90,80 and 70%) were used to select does from the heard. The selection depends on phenotypic values TMP, SPC and EV. The percentage of direct genetic response for TMP 0.801, 1.24 and 1.78% from the flock mean at the selection percentage 90,80 and 70% respectively. Direct genetic response of SPC corresponding were 0.101, 0.394 and 1.039 at the selection percentage 90, 80 and 70% from the flock mean. The percentage of direct genetic response for EV 0.260, 1.195 and 2.048 from the hard mean at the selection percentage 90, 80 and 70% respectively. The selection at 70% of doe showed a high of direct genetic response for TMP, SPC and EV respectively. In conclusion, a positive genetic response dependent on direct selection was found.
