The Animal Improvement Program
Laboratory at USDA conducts research to discover, test, and
implement improved genetic evaluation techniques for economically
important traits of dairy cattle and goats. Each year they calculate
dairy goat breed averages. These averages include one for Oberhasli
and are based upon those herds that are at least 75% Oberhasli.
Oberhasli were the most recently added dairy goat breed.
ADGA DHIR records which are based on individual doe records show an
average 1890 pounds of milk in the year 2000, ranging from 490-3450
pounds in 305 days of milking with an average butterfat of 3.5% and
protein of 2.9%. |
