The paper highlights the results of the study of the live weight of heifers of Holstein breed of different origins and its genetic and mathematical modeling by using B.Gompertz’ model. This model adequately describes the dynamics of heifers’ weight gain and the most correctly characterizes their live weight in the period of early ontogenesis 3 months, at an older age             9 months and after the age of 18 months. At the same time, the biggest differences between the actual live weight values and the theoretical ones were noted at birth and at the age of six and 12 months. The model can be used to describe the characteristics of heifers’ growth and development, and as a unique marker in predicting the milk productivity.

The study was conducted on the basis of Ltd. “Dobrobut” of the Mykolayiv district, Mykolayiv region, on the heifers of Holstein breed of different origins (n=80 heads). The groups of animals were randomized and evaluated according to the live weight at birth  and at the age of 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 , 18 and 24 months.

The research has established a clear preference of the live weight in the heifers-daughters of the bull-bearer Mars (41, 172, 286, 385 kg), which may indicate its better hereditary characteristics regarding the effect on the formation of this feature in its descendants. The B.Gompertz’ model adequately describes the dynamics of heifers’ weight gain, which can be served as a unique marker in predicting the milk productivity of the experimental groups of animals. This model characterizes them the most correctly in the period of early postnatal ontogenesis 3 months, at an older age: 9 months and after the age of 18 months. Their live weight is approaching its maximum possible index α=142. The approximation of the actual curves by the theoretical ones has established a certain adequacy of the model, which allows using it to describe the characteristics of heifers’ growth and development.

Our research has found that the live weight at birth does not have a significant difference, but the cows of the bull-bearer Mars have its higher value of 41 ± 0.2 kg. It is equal to the live weight of the control group cows, which in turn exceed the third degree of probability of this economically useful feature in the daughters of the bull-bearer Eric by 2.5% (40 ± 0.2 kg).

The tendency of the predominance of cows-daughters of the bull Mars remains in the future. Thus, its level at the age of six months is 172±0.7 kg, with the difference of 1 kg from the control group.

Keywords: live weight, B.Gompertz’ model, Holstein breed, initial rate of growth, maturation rate, heifers
