The 13th Guernsey World Conference was held at theHoliday Inn, Guelph, Ontario in July. It was surrounded by a seven day Western Tour starting inVancouver and travelling to Calgary. A three day tour ofOntario was the next followed by the conference. Apost conference tour of seven days travelling throughQuebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Islandrounded out the trip for many of the overseas visitors.There were 59 participants in total attending the confer-ence. The following is a brief overview of the topics.
The opening speaker of the conference was KeithWoodford from Lincoln University, Christchurch NewZealand. Keith gave the background to the science be-hind the differences between A1 and A2 Beta Caseinand the proven fact that Beta Casomorphin 7 "the Devilin the Milk" as Keith has described it is only releasedwhen Beta Casein A1 is digested. There have been newdevelopments with a Russian researcher having de-signed a blood test for BCM 7 and also in Czechoslova-kia where research into child development hasproduced startlingly differences between children raisedon infant formula and those who are breast fed.
One leading US semen supplier revealed that of the100 proven Holstein sires in their stud 33 were A2xA2including one bull from who over 1.5 million straws havebeen sold, but although they have the results they arenot published as "there is already too much information"on the proof sheets. All credit then to LIC in NewZealand who do declare the A2 status of all bulls fromall breeds. Keith Woodford believes that more than 1/3 of the 4 million cows in NewZealand are now known to be A2xA2 and of course ifmated to A2xA2 sires will produce an additional 600,000heifer calves each year that will be A2xA2.
The second day was heavy going with papers about ge-nomics, a science that is developing at a great paceand that will allow much greater understanding of thegenetics of each individual animal and for disease con-trol etc.
Curt van Tassell from Animal Improvement ProgramsLaboratory with USDA has pioneered most of the work
on the bovine genome. He explained the rapid develop-ment of the chips used for testing from the first chipused for parentage, to the current 50 used for more de-tailed breakdown to the 850 which will soon be commer-cially available. Much more work remains to be donewith the Guernsey but the Holstein and Jersey genomesare already quite well understood and it will be by con-trasting and comparing with those that the "best" youngbulls for use in AI will be identified. During questionsCurt displayed the results from the HAP-Map projectfrom which the bovine genomics have developed and inwhich Guernsey Island and the USA provided samplesand this showed definitive differences between breeds. Jan Phillipson from Interbull looked at fertility trendsacross the dairy breeds which show that Guernsey fer-tility has declined by 10 days in 10 years which isslightly greater than in other breeds. Jan then producedthree "what if" scenarios. The scenarios looked at the"loss of genetic gain" if a move was made from provensires to all young sires if fertility was added to the GMI,the loss was predicted at -53% where all young bullswere used. At present only data from daughters of thesire and maternal grandsires are used to calculate Fer-tility Indexes with no contribution from the cow family(the data has lower reliability) but different measuresare used in the US and the UK.
The last conference presenter was Brian van Doormaalthe head of the Canadian Dairy Network and CEO ofHolstein Canada. Brian explained how genomics will im-pact on recording services in the future. CDN have anapplication before the Canadian Government wherebyeach newborn calf will have a DNA sample probablytaken as part of the ear tagging process, which will pro-vide total traceability for beef and dairy as well as all thegenetic spin offs.
The real benefit for the conference delegates is to meetwith fellow Guernsey breeders from the other countries,to look at cows together, to exchange information aboutbull progeny and find out what is going on in theGuernsey World.

“Greetings World Guernsey Conference members, friends andguests. I hope that you will thoroughly enjoy your conferencetour here in Ontario and the rest of Canada.
I have wonderful memories of attending the 1986 WorldGuernsey hosted by the Australian Guernsey Association. Thehospitality, the Royal Show, the farm tours and sightseeing weresecond to none. I understand some of the Cleggetts are heretoday, and Iʼm sure Ken & Marie your hosts today, will ensureyou and everyone participating will have similar unforgettablememories long after you return home.
One of the best things about the `purebred cattle fraternity` arethe friends we make and keep, often for generations. My fatherwas in 4-H with Kenʼs Dad in Halton County. As boys theyshowed at the CNE and our RAWF. One of my lifelong friendsColleen (Lott) Kerby was Lloyd Balsdonʼs Queenholm HerdManager for a number of years. Her dad, Alan Lott also had aGuernsey herd. Ken Forester Jr. was a 4-H friend and leaderalso from my home County of Wentworth. I still hear from ToniRobinson (NSW) and Jill & Rodney Hobson (Queensland).
I wish I could have joined you tonight and I just wanted to sayhello and wish everyone a most enjoyable and memorable time.Enjoy the best of Canadian hospitality and safe travels homeeveryone.”

The Canadian Guernsey Association proudly hosted the13th World Guernsey Conference in July. This eventspanned the entire country as well as a speck of Washing-ton State with the Conference itself taking place in Guelphfrom July 13-16. I would like to thank – The breeders foropening their barns and homes to delegates; the sponsorsfor supporting this fabulous event; the speakers for offer-ing their insights to issues affecting our breed; the dele-gates for sharing their views of the Guernsey world amongother things; the Western Tour hosts – Peter and TinaWhite; the administrative team (Bill Luff, Nellie Endeman,Cecilia Bisson) for their organizational skills and last butnot least Marie McNabb for her attention to detail. I wouldalso like to thank the Canadian Guernsey Association forallowing me to act as the host for theOntario/Quebec/Eastern Provinces portion of the tour. Thisallowed me connect with the delegates and reconnect withthe breeders. As many will agree, we left the conferenceknowing that we have some work to do in order to growour breed. However, where there are challenges there arealso opportunities. I will explore these opportunities in theupcoming Guernsey Journal to be released in December.The next conference is scheduled for Guernsey Island for2013 which promises to be the trip of a lifetime.Glen Haven Lewis Lana is the new #1 LPI cow for Aug
2010. At 1-10 she has a projection of 8615 kgs of milk,394 kgs of fat(4.5%) and 300 kgs of protein(3.6%) forBCA’s of 295-272-288. Lana is owned by the MacGregorfamily of Crysler, ON. The next 3 cows on list are ownedby the Gordon family of Keswick Ridge, NB – GuernseyView Kit’s Ruby, Maplehurst Lewis Brea and MaplehurstLewis L.C. The #5 LPI cow is Eby Manor Lewis Seceliaowned by Eby Manor Ltd. of Waterloo, ON. All of the top 5animals are sired by Trotacre Enhancer Lewis who contin-ues to lead the breed in LPI in Canada. The National Guernsey Show will be held on September24 at the Ancaster Fairgrounds. This is the highlight of theyear and an opportunity to showcase the best that theGuernsey breed as to offer. We are pleased to have BrianSchnebly from the American Guernsey Association as ourjudge. A little over two weeks later on October 11 ourbreed will be able to parade our Golden Girls at the Rock-ton World’s Fair. These events are unique in thatGuernseys are the only dairy breed that will be exhibitedat these fairs with the exception of 4-H competitions. Con-tact me for more information. I hope to see exhibitors andGuernsey enthusiasts alike at these two shows.

Fieldman Report - Fall 2010
To All My Guernsey Friends:
Well, the time has come for me to say farewell.
As many of you may already know, I have decided to pointmy life in a new and different direction and as such took anearly retirement from the A.I. business after more than 41years. Let me assure you the decision was not an easy one!
Since late 1973 I have had the opportunity of working with awonderful group of people who have a passion for theGuernsey cow. Little did I know about the breed way backthen but, this “Golden Girl” has allowed me innumerable op-portunities over the course of my A.I. career. It was a learn-ing process that I will never forget especially in the days ofthe “sire committee”. What fond memories I have of thosemany trips selecting bulls for the young sire program.
I have certainly enjoyed being the Guernsey Sire Analyst forthe National Guernsey Young Sire Program on behalf ofSemex. This position has allowed me to travel the world onbehalf of Guernsey cows. I have made many, many friendsworld wide because of this golden cow.
Many of my memories will be from the many judging assign-ments both here in North America and in several othercountries. I thank you for entrusting me to judge the Cana-dian National Guernsey Show on 2 occasions, once when itwas held at the Royal Winter Fair and again just last year inAncaster.
Although cow numbers have declined dramatically overtime, one thing has never changed. Guernsey cattle breed-ers are some of the finest people you will ever meet any-where! No doubt in my mind!!!
It is still in my plans to attend your shows both here and inMadison. I have many, many fond memories of leadingGuernsey cows at World Dairy Expo, working sales andreading pedigrees at National Sales and dispersals etc. Ilook forward to the day when a Guernsey cow will again becrowned “Supreme Champion” at World Dairy Expo.
Thank you again for a lifetime of memories
Kindest regards, Murray L Reissner
A Fond Farewell...
Harley Nicholson of The Semex Alliance is the new Guernsey Sire Analyst replacing Murray Reissner after many years of purchasing bulls for the Guernsey breed.

“Lewis” and Daughter Lead LPI Lists forGuernsey Breed Trotacre Enhancer LewisET continues to lead the breed at #1 LPI,still followed by Double L, Jordan, Bingoand Krunch to round out the Top 5 LPI list.The only bull receiving his first official LPI isCoulee Crest Luxury Skipper-ET, who wasfirst proven in the US and arrives at #34LPI. Lewis is also sire of the new #1 LPIcow, namely Glen Haven Lewis Lana (#1Fat, tied #4 Protein), who is a daughter ofGlen Haven Double Bubble at #8 LPI. In addition, Guernsey View Kit’s Ruby (#2LPI) again surpasses Maplehurst LewisBrea (#3 LPI) and Maplehurst Lewis L.C.jumps from #10 to #4 LPI. Daughters ofLewis complete the Top 5 LPI list with EbyManor Lewis Secelia at #5. After Lana, thesecond highest newly indexed cow thisround is Maplehurst Royalty Reba at #23LPI.
June 15, 2010 - The Holstein Canada Board of Direc-tors proudly announced the appointment of Brian VanDoormaal as Chief Executive Officer, effective June21, 2010. Brian will also maintain his current respon-sibilities as General Manager of Canadian Dairy Net-work (CDN). Holstein Canada President, GermainLehoux, summarized this strategic agreement withCDN; “The process initiated late in 2009 by HolsteinCanada to engage a new CEO has now been accom-plished and has simultaneously opened the opportu-nity for achieving the long established industry visionof continued structural streamlining.” Grant Roy,Chairman of the CDN Board of Directors supportedthis action stating “Both organizations are governedby producers to provide breed improvement servicesand programs to producers and industry partners.Given the similarity of core activities and competen-cies, the sharing of Brian Van Doormaal to lead both
organizations is not only logical but is expected to fa-cilitate the vision recently established by all breed as-sociations to work towards a common serviceprovider, following the example of the Multi-BreedsClassification system.”
Brian Van Doormaal has 24 years experience in theCanadian dairy cattle improvement industry, which in-cludes a very successful 15-year tenure taking CDNto its current leadership position as a world-recog-nized national genetic evaluation centre. Reacting tothis new appointment and dual responsibilities, BrianVan Doormaal stated “I am honoured and privilegedto have this opportunity to manage both companiesas the industry initiates a process towards achievingthe industry vision aimed at gaining efficiencies forthe benefit of Canadian dairy producers.”

JULY 26, 2010 – With the aim of providing Canadian national genomictesting services for various dairy breeds, Holstein Canada and SemexAlliance along with its four partners CIAQ, EBI, Gencor and Westgen,launched a pilot project using the new 3K genotyping panel recently re-leased by Illumina. This project will also test the use of nasal swabsproduced by Canadian-based DNA Genotek for the collection of tissuerather than tail hair samples.
The partnering of Holstein Canada and Semex Alliance provides thefoundation for a nationally based program to facilitate genomic testingby Canadian dairy producers. With joint cooperation on all genomictesting services and the distribution of nasal swab kits, maximum effi-ciencies are achieved without duplication at the farm level. Several tis-sue collection systems are being considered with a view of streamliningthe entire handling process from the producer to the laboratory, whichhas led to the pilot project for nasal swabs.
Since November 2008, Holstein Canada and Semex Alliance have col-laborated in establishing genotyping services with a Canadian labora-tory, DNA LandMarks, using the 50K panel. Since August 2009,resulting genotypes have been used to increase the accuracy of ge-netic evaluations offered by Canadian Dairy Network (CDN). The arrivalof the new 3K panel offers a lower cost option for providing genomicevaluations of similar accuracy and therefore the opportunity forbroader usage within and across dairy herds in Canada.
The pilot project involves 295 females in 36 herds from across thecountry with all DNA samples submitted by August 10th. Genotyping byDNA LandMarks shall be completed by August 25th and unofficial ge-nomic evaluations will be provided to herd owners by October. Startingin September 2010, a full scale joint national program, namedGenoTest, will offer genomic testing services for both the 3K and 50Kpanels and will be widely promoted and encouraged by Semex Alliancepartners and Holstein Canada.

It gives me great pleasure on behalf of Gencor to offer administrativeservices to the Guernsey membership. As mentioned in the lastnewsletter, Doris Curran has accepted a full time position with 4-HOntario and began her new career in July. It has been a pleasureworking with Doris for the last few years at Gencor and I wish to thankher for her guidance during this transition. For the past 25 years Ihave enjoyed working for Gencor. I will continue my roles with Gencor, the Brown Swiss/Braunvieh breed and expand to include theGuernsey breed.
At a recent Guernsey Board of Directors Conference Call, the decision was made at the request of Gencor, to have the Administra-tor role held by Nellie Endeman and the Administration role held byJessie combine to one contact person at the office. Nellie will continue to offer auditor services of the financial statements at yearend, however all other inquires can be forwarded to myself. A specialthank you to Nellie Endeman for her years of work with the Guernseybreed! Nellie contributed greatly with her accounting experience, photography abilities, creative work with brochures, notepads, farmsummaries, coordination of the World Guernsey Conference just tosay a few. I know Nellie has a place in her heart for the Guernseybreed and I am sure she will be close by at various events. Thankyou Nellie!
I am pleased with the opportunity to work with the Ontario and Cana-dian Boards for the betterment of the Guernsey membership and lookforward to meeting many of you at the upcoming National GuernseyShow in Ancaster.
Enjoy your day!

Dr. Jacques Chesnais, Senior Geneticist at TheSemex Alliance has been selected by the CDNBoard of Directors as the 2010 recipient of theDairy Cattle Improvement Industry DistinctionAward.
CDN Board Chairman, Grant Roy, summarizedthis selection stating “Dr. Chesnais has been in-strumental in realizing several Canadian re-search projects in the area of genomics, whichultimately positioned Canada with the ability tointroduce official genomic evaluations startingAugust 2009. There is no doubt about the bene-fits that dairy producers and industry stakehold-ers will realize with this early adoption ofgenomics in Canada.”
Dr. Jacques Chesnais joined The Semex Al-liance team in 2003 as Senior Geneticist andimmediately developed a broad-based ge-nomics research program involving collaborationbetween L’Alliance Boviteq, University of Guelphand University of Alberta. Early genomic initia-tives used microsatellites, but moved quickly toSNP panels, first with 1,500 markers, then10,000 and eventually to the now common 50Kpanel. In 2010, Jacques was also involved withthe research that led to the whole genome se-quencing of Braedale Goldwyn.
Dr. Chesnais has consistently demonstrated hisleadership and vision aimed at advancing newtechnologies in the area of genomics, and ge-netic improvement in general, to a point of im-plementation to the benefit of Canadian dairyproducers. His outstanding

The Magic of �Imputation�
The technology of genomics continues to evolve rapidly. While the methods used by Canadian Dairy Network (CDN) to compute genomic evaluations have reached a level of consistency, significant development has occurred in terms of the technology available for genotyping animals. For this reason, there are two new genotyping panels to be released by Illumina in the near future. This article briefly describes the coming technology and how it will be used for genetic evaluations in Canada. Different Panels for Genotyping In Canada, North America and most of the rest of the world, genotyping of dairy animals has been done using a panel produced by Illumina that has roughly 58,000 markers equally spaced across the 30 chromosomes that make up the bovine genome. For simplicity, this panel has been termed the �50K panel� and, so far, over 45,000 Holsteins have been genotyped in North America using this panel. In July or August 2010, Illumina is expected to release a lower density panel for commercial use to genotype dairy animals. In Canada, Holstein Canada will add this level of genotyping to the services already provided using the 50K panel, likely in conjunction with industry partners. The major difference to breeders will be the reduced cost of under $50 for genotyping using this panel consisting of 3072 markers (or SNPs). Known as the �3K panel�, genotyping of heifers and cows is expected to rapidly expand to include a broader group within the Canadian Holstein population rather than just the elite. In developing this 3K panel, researchers identified the optimal subset of the markers already included on the 50K panel, therefore maintaining a consistent group of about 3,000 markers for all genotyped animals. In the coming months, Illumina is also expected to release a new panel to be termed the �Bovine HD� panel, where HD refers to high density. Details presently available indicate this panel will include roughly 850,000 markers, which is 17 times more than the current standard 50K panel. With 850,000 equally spaced markers spread across the entire bovine genome the distance between each one is significantly reduced compared to using only 50,000 markers. In terms of genotyping cost, the 850K panel is expected to cost more than the current price for the 50K panel but exact rates are yet to be finalized by Illumina. Why the Three Different Panels? What are the benefits of having the 3K, 50K and 850K (Bovine HD) panels all available for genotyping dairy animals? For the 3K panel, the most obvious answer to this question is price since genotyping with it will be far more economical for large scale genotyping compared to the costs for either the 50K or the Bovine HD panels. Although the Bovine HD panel will surely be priced higher than the 50K panel, the huge jump in number of markers is expected to give greater accuracy in the resulting genomic
evaluations. For this reason, the planned strategy for using these three different panels includes genotyping very large numbers of heifer and bull calves with the 3K panel as a tool for basic population screening; genotyping A.I. sires and cows with the 50K panel; and genotyping key reference proven sires in the population with the Bovine HD panel to ensure the maximum accuracy possible when estimating the effects of the different markers on each trait of interest. Genotypes and Haplotypes The DNA in each cell of an animal is made up of a long series of molecules, known as nucleotides. In fact, it is structured with two parallel strings that are connected at each molecule, forming the double helix structure well known to represent DNA. Across the entire bovine genome, the string of paired molecules counts more than 3 billion in total and together they form the estimated 30,000 genes in dairy cattle. There are only four nucleotides that make up DNA, which are labelled as A, C, G or T. In the double helix structure of DNA, these molecules are paired in combinations such as AA, AC, AG, AT, CA, CC, CG, CT, etc� An animal�s genotype refers to the pairs of molecules inherited by the animal from its parents at specific points within its DNA. One molecule is inherited from the sire and the other from the dam but simply knowing the genotype does not identify the parental source of each DNA molecule. However, each parent transmits its DNA to its progeny in very large blocks, which gradually get broken up over many generations. Examining the genotypes of many related animals, as is done with the 50K panel currently, identifies the blocks of DNA that remain constant across the population and transmit from parent to progeny. These blocks are called haplotypes and once most have been identified the genotype of an animal can be used to determine which haplotypes were inherited from each parent. Imputing Genotypes Given the availability of tens of thousands of genotypes based on the 50K panel, researchers have been able to determine the most frequent haplotypes in a given breed population. Genotypes from the 3K panel can be used identify the DNA blocks an animal received from its sire and dam, which helps rebuild the animal�s 50K genotype. This process is referred to as �imputation�. The major advantage of imputation is that many animals can be genotyped using the lower cost 3K panel but if there are sufficient other animals, especially family members, already genotyped with the 50K panel, the 3K genotypes can be imputed to become 50K genotypes with relatively high accuracy. Using Imputed Genotypes in Genetic Evaluation Once Holstein Canada is able to launch its service to allow Canadian breeders to genotype their heifers and cows with either the 3K or 50K panel, CDN will subsequently start receiving the resulting 3K genotypes. Using the developed systems, the 3K genotypes will be used to impute a 50K genotype for each animal along with an associated level of imputation accuracy. It is intended that these imputed 50K genotypes will be included in the official genetic evaluations to be released by CDN in December 2010.
Summary Following extensive use around the world of the standard 50K panel available since the end of 2007, Illumina will soon be releasing a new 3K panel and the Bovine HD panel with 850,000 markers is expected later this year. This portfolio of genotyping panels allows for a strategic use of each panel to maximize the possible returns while minimizing genotyping costs. Of major benefit has been the development of methods for imputing 50K genotypes from 3K genotypes, which basically means filling in the genotypes for the other 47,000 markers not evaluated in the 3K panel. The magic of imputation is expected to provide nearly the same increases in accuracy of genetic evaluation with the 3K panel compared to what would have be achieved if all animals had been genotyped with the 50K panel. Imputed genotypes from the 3K panel are scheduled to be included in official genetic evaluations starting December 2010. Author: Brian Van Doormaal Date: June 2010

(Guelph, ON – June 22nd, 2010) CanWest DHI ispleased to announce that the identification of the My-coplasma bovis (M. bovis) organism is now part ofthe routine Mastitis 3 testing service. This enhance-ment to the test is being provided to customers at noadditional cost.
The Mastitis 3 service is now complete and includesall 3 common contagious pathogens… Staph aureus(and beta lactamase gene), Strep agalactiae and My-coplasma bovis.
M. bovis mastitis is not believed to be very commonin Canada. However, its effect can be devastating asit is contagious, and unresponsive to treatment.Often, the outcome is to cull infected animals. The M.bovis organism is difficult to successfully culture;therefore, the DHI PCR test is a real enhancement inthe diagnosis of this type of mastitis. The conven-
ience, reliability and rapid turn around of results ofthe Mastitis 3 test offers significant improvements inmastitis management. The test, based on Poly-merase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology, identifiesthe DNA of mastitis causing pathogens. According toRichard Cantin, DHI’s Manager of Marketing andCustomer Services, “We are pleased to offer this en-hancement to our Mastitis testing service. AlthoughMycoplasma is not believed to be a significant masti-tis causing pathogen here in Canada, the ability toidentify it with more confidence will no doubt be wel-comed by producers and veterinarians. This is agreat example of value added service, where we aredoing more for our customers, with that same sampleand at the same price.”
For more information on the Mastitis 3 test, talk toyour veterinarian, contact your local DHI field servicerepresentative or call DHI at 1-800-549-4373.

then also included in the process for estimating genomic evaluations in Canada. The addition of these new sires creates changes in Direct Genomic Values for various animals in the population.
A third factor affecting proof stability includes changes in the genetic evaluation methods and models. For example, in 2009 the genetic evaluation system for production traits was modified to account for the number of days pregnant each cow was on each test day compared to open cows as well as the inclusion of an adjustment for extreme test day yields relative to normal expectations. More recently, proofs released in January 2010 experienced increased change following the implementation of updated estimates of heritabilities and genetic correlations across each of the first three lactations. These new genetic parameters had little impact for the majority of bulls but did result in more variability from the August 2009 proofs for bulls adding daughters in second and/or third lactation.
Analysis of Proof Stability
Geneticists at CDN recently conducted an analysis to quantify the degree of change in proofs calculated for the August 2010 release compared to April 2010 evaluations. The graph shows the results for LPI for all bulls first proven since February 2000, grouped by the genetic evaluation release when they received their first official LPI. The solid line represents the average LPI change from April to August, which is very close to zero for all groups of bulls. This line demonstrates that no systematic bias exists and bulls have an equal chance of increasing or decreasing from run to run. The two dashed lines reflect the most extreme LPI change within each group that generally includes more than 100 proven sires. As expected, individual bulls newly proven in the past year may experience a wider range of change (i.e.: up to 500 LPI points in either direction), due to the numerous factors possibly affecting their proof. In addition, there is a second group of individual bulls first proven 3-4 years ago that may also experience increased proof variability as they add their second crop of daughters.
