Breeding program

Genealogical book

UCTL genetic improvement, selection and conservation program

Genealogical book

Definition. Background.

The Stud Book (L. Gco) is a computerized system that houses a database whose maintenance and management is supervised by associations of purebred livestock breeders officially recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Spain. The specific Regulations of the Herd Book of the Lidia Bovine Breed were published in the Official State Gazette on March 21, 1990 by O.M of March 12, 1990.

The Herd Book of the Lidia Bovine Breed currently includes the five associations of livestock breeders of this breed that exist in Spain; AEGRB, AGL, AGRL, GLU and UCTL.

Goals.

  1. Ensure the ethnic purity of the fighting breed and its selection.
  2. Stimulate and guide its improvement.
  3. Organize and keep updated the records of the registered livestock farms, as well as attest to their content.

  4. Promote the progress of the fighting race.

Organization.

The Stud Book is made up of three Records:

  1. Foundation Registry. Consisting of the reproductive specimens that were alive at the time of the birth of the litters of 1988 and 1989, as well as their products of the numbers “8” and “9”. They must meet the characteristics of the breed, be no less than 24 months old and have a minimum of two generations of ancestors accredited that attest to their origin and provenance. Not manifest defects or defects that determine their disqualification as reproducers. There are currently no living specimens of this record at UCTL.
  2. Birth Registration. Made up of the products of both sexes born from breeding animals registered in the Founding Registry or in the Definitive Registry, with prior control of Mating Lots.
  3. The Definitive Record. It is made up of specimens from the birth registry and that have been selected and approved as reproducers and that meet, in the opinion of the UCTL, the necessary requirements for registration.

Denominations.

Livestock breeding a beef is that in which it was shod.

Owner livestock is that which has ownership of the beef, whether or not it is the one who shod it.

Operation of the Stud Book.

The collection of data for the Stud Book of each livestock farm for its control, registration and subsequent computerization is carried out through a series of standardized forms approved at the time by MAPAMA.

  1. Printed with the information provided by the farmer.
    • Covering Part (GL-1).
    • Birth Declaration (GL-2).
    • Request for registration in the Definitive Registry (GL-3).
    • Low Part (GL-4). Deregistration due to natural death, slaughterhouse, fighting, sale and Definitive Deregistration for Reproduction.
    • Partial Transaction of Players (GL-5).
    • Temporary Stallion Transfer (GL-12).
    • Request for Temporary Leave for Reproduction (Gl-13).
    • Return Request for the Reproduction of Temporary Dismissal (GL-14).
  2. Printed with the requests made by the farmer.
    • Application for godson prior to the farrier (SOL-1).
    • Application for farrier-godson (SOL-2).
    • Request for Genealogical Letters (SOL-3).
    • Application for Birth Certificates (SOL-4).

Legal base.

The Lidia Bovine Breed Stud Book is governed by the Statutes and Internal Regime Regulations of the UCTL Stud Book.

UCTL genetic improvement, selection and conservation program

The Genetic Improvement Program is the zootechnics project to which the European Union devotes special attention given its importance.

Objectives pursued by said program:

  1. Achieve an improvement in behavior for fighting on foot in the chopped celebrations. This selection is achieved through genetic tools that allow each farmer participating in the aforementioned program to advance in the selection of the type of behavior they pursue, and to farmers who acquire genetically valued animals, to have better quality information that helps them improve their livestock in the desired direction.
  2. Preserve genetic variability in those farms or group of farms that, due to their reduced census, may be precarious.
  3. Genetically and morphologically characterize those populations of animals that, due to their peculiar origin and reproductive isolation, can constitute encastes.
  4. The character evaluation sheets (4 or 9) will be filled out by the farmer, who will send them to the UCTL, where they will be computerized and subsequently sent by the UCTL to the Genetics Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Madrid of the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM).
  5. The UCM will return to the UCTL the information on the genetic evaluations developed, which will be delivered to each rancher individually with the data on their livestock.

Likewise, the aforementioned laboratory will be responsible for carrying out the deposits and custody of the samples in the DNA Bank, parentage analysis, mating design, average degree of kinship and calculation of inbreeding requested by the farmers and the characterization of populations.

Confidentiality of Information.

The genealogical and phenotypic information of the animals evaluated is absolutely confidential, with access only to the farmer or the person authorized by him.

Advice from the Complutense University.

Both the female candidates for replacement and the male candidates for stud will be classified based on all the information available from their relatives, plus their own information. In the case of farms with genetic connections, joint genetic evaluations will be carried out.

The scientific information prepared will include the genetic value of each of the animals present in the livestock farm for each of the behavioral characteristics evaluated, together with the reliability or statistical precision of the assessment, as well as the genetic merits of the combinations of each female of the livestock with each of the stallions, with respect to the evaluated characters, along with the value of the average relationship of each of the candidate cattle for breeding.

Rancher’s missions.

The special idiosyncrasy of this unique breed means that the most expert and interested qualifier is the rancher himself, who is the one who directs the operations of the tentadero and observes the behavior of his animals in the bullrings and in the tents and therefore He is the optimal evaluator of his animals, and the only person who will make decisions in the field of selection.

The genetics chair provides the farmer with detailed information on various selection parameters, but this is carried out exclusively by the farmer by choosing his breeding stock, designing the matings (mating lots) and evaluating the behavior of his cattle.
