r COLUMBUS, OHIO - Effective
January, 1986, Jersey breeders
across the country have access to a
unique computerized mating
program developed and provided
by The American Jersey Cattle
Oub(AJCC).
Jersey breeders now have a
program available to help them
make maximum genetic progress,
while conserving much of their
own time. The Jersey Mating
Program (JMP) is a breakthrough
m the science of selective dairy
cattle breeding, with several
unique features.
Selected matings are made with
the goal of maximizing net income
per day of production life for the
entire Jersey herd. Exhaustive
scientific research has been used

Whenever you find hybrids that yield as well as Cargill 842,889,937,967
and 980, someone is bound to exaggerate. In state yield trials across Pennsylvania, Cargill
seeds claimed three first, one second and four of the third highest producers among
leading seed brands. Complete results can be obtained '

Jersey Club develops computerized mating program
to establish values for the various
traits considered in the matings.
The program makes use of each
sire’s Predicted Difference for all
production and type traits, as well
as each cow’s Cow Index for these
same traits. Extensive scientific
research has shown that by using
these genetic evaluations, the
average performance of groups of
offspring will be most accurately
predicted.
JMP also takes into account the
reduction of milk, fat and protein
yield due to the effects of in
breeding. The program considers
the 30 nearest ancestors to
determine the level of inbreeding.
In helping Jersey breeders to
select which bulls may be used in
their herds, JMP considers all

Proven sires are selected based on
criteria established by each
breeder, including the milk
market, semen price and specific
type traits.
Herds enrolled on the AJCC’s
Total Performance Evaluation
(TPE) program can have their
cows mated with JMP for just $l.OO
per cow. Herds enrolled on the
SANITATION and the JOURNAL
OF FOOD PROTECTION will
include the entire program. Some
of the topics and speakers include
• A Salmonella Symposium.
• Panel Discussion on the
“Action Taken By Industry, State
and Federal Agencies in a Food

■ 1.
Special Type Evaluation Program
(STEP) and herds on DHIR test
can mate their cows with JMP for
just $1.25 per cow. All other herds
must pay $2.00 per cow. All herds
must pay a $15.00 herd fee.
