    livestock breeding LIVESTOCK BREEDING The achieved genetic gain is determined by two factors – the genetic potential of animals and environmental conditions in which this potential may be realised. To obtain high productivity levels while ensuring good animal fertility and health, both of these factors have to be refined simultaneously. Genetic improvement is a long-term and costly process that requires a consistent approach to selection and matching. The nucleus herds supervised by the National Support Centre for Agriculture (Krajowy Ośrodek Wsparcia Rolnictwa – KOWR) represent a high genetic level, which, in order to be maintained, necessitates drawing on global genetic resources, including the use of Polish- and foreign-bred bulls for breeding. Apart from using the semen of prominent bulls, embryo transfer constitutes one of the most effective and relatively quick methods enabling genetic gain. The primary objective of embryo transfer is to produce bulls for insemination and heifers bred for improving their own herds. In 2017, a total of 1,272 embryos were obtained and 984 embryos were transferred. Transfer efficacy was 57%. A high animal genetic potential is displayed only in good environmental conditions, when a proper nutrition programme based on balanced feed intake is ensured. Our companies have built new livestock buildings or modernised the existing ones, using innovative and functional technical solutions applied in the global livestock building industry. In barns, cows can move around freely, enjoy easy access to feed and have uninterrupted air circulation. With a loose-housing system, it was possible to identify technological and feeding groups, depending on the milk yield and physiological status of cows, as well as to apply precise feed rations under the TMR feeding system.

  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

The yards of the Prince Kar! of Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg ( 1845-1921) were leased by the Austrian­ Hungarian Agricultural Ministry and the horses were accommodated there after the troublesome joumey. After 1916 all military studs were dissolved by the govemment at that time and the military stud of Hostau was converted into a regular stud farm . Three stallions were assigned to Hostau: an Arab half-breed, an English half-breed and a Hanoverian. The main stud with 200 mares and three stallions was placed at the fannyard in Zwirschen. After the end of the war, the horses were transferred to Klattau, but as soon as normal conditions were gained again, the remaining horses returned back to Hostau. Some years later the leasehold became property of the Czechoslovakian state. After 1918 the majority of the fields were converted into pastures. The area of 1200 acreswas reduced to 250 acres for husbandry. The number of horses was 500 at this time. The stud fa rm increased. Some thoroughbred mares and thorougbbred and half-breed stalli ons were purchased abroad.

He still goes to the barn at Gulfstream every day, is still on the lookout for new horses and still optimistic that there are more winners in his future. If Handy can keep going, he could make racing history. Last July, Jerry Bozzo became the oldest trainer in history to win a race. He was 97 and has since passed away. "My goal for my dad is to see him win that title, to be the oldest trainer to win a race," said his son, George Handy Jr. "He's so close. He'll be 96 in July. It would be quite a dream to fulfill. I think it's something my dad would enjoy. He's doing fabulous. At the V.A., they said he has the statistics of a 45-year-old. I think he'll live to be 100."

About two years ago I began especially to study the Arabian after having de- voted many years to the study of the horse in general. The anatomy, the origin, and the natural history of the Arab has naturally attracted less attention than the relation of the Arab to the origin of the thoroughbred racing horse.
