HISTORY
The Canadienne Cattle Breed is unique to Canada. The breed’s foundation is based on animals imported from the Normandy area of France in 1608 to 1610. Later importations came from Brittany and Gascony. There is no indication of what type of cattle were imported and no effort was made to breed the different types separately. The melting pot effect took over. With the population remaining largely closed to breeds they eventually took on an appearance and type of their own and became known as “The Canadienne” or “Black Canadian” or “French Canadian” breed.
In 1850, the Canadian Parliament was advised that the Canadienne cattle were the only cattle in Quebec except for a few herds of Ayrshires and Shorthorn. In 1853 the Council of Agriculture began to discourage farmers from breeding these cattle so, by 1880 “there was hardly a French Canadian in the Province that thought enough of his cow to give her more attention that he would a dog”. At this time two or three men decided to save the breed from extinction by starting a breed society. In 1886 a herd book was maintained. In 1895 the French Canadian Cattle Breeders ‘ Association was formed. This new breed “La Canadienne” remains the only dairy breed today to have been developed on the North American continent.
Recent Developments in the Breed
The Quebec Provincial Government has always had a keen interest in the Canadienne breed and, in fact, maintained their own herd until it was lost in a barn fire. In the early 1970’s the Ministry of Agriculture became concerned about the level of inbreeding within the Canadienne Cattle Breed and also that they were falling behind the other dairy breeds in the level of improvement in the areas of udder quality and milk production. They made the decision to introduce genetics from the Brown Swiss breed into their herd. Initially breeders were strongly divided over this decision. As the results of the introduction developed, however, more and more breeders joined in. It eventually reached the point where the Canadienne Breed was at risk of being totally taken over by the uncontrolled use of Brown Swiss genetics.
Fortunately for the breed, this introduction has been stopped and a bull must have 31/32 purity for registration and use as a breeder. To accomplish this, the Ministry of Agriculture has undertaken the financial support for a program known as Project Embryo Plus. The project undertook to identify older 100% pure cows and place them in embryo flushing programs using older (pre 1970) 100% pure bulls as their service sires. The aim was to develop a bank of 100% pure embryos and release them over time. Each year 30 embryos are made available to be implanted in recipient animals in member herds with the resulting calves being raised in these herds. The male calves are to be evaluated and the best selected for semen collection and use as breeding bulls within the breed. The females are also inspected and evaluated for use as embryo donor dams for the program. Once the commitments of the animal have been met, they become the property of the member into who’s herd they were born.
Future of the Breed
There is enthusiasm for the breed in Quebec along with a well organized and active breed society that bode well for the breed. It produces well in low input management systems, which makes it appealing to grass fed operations. Its profile has risen due to its official heritage status given to it by the Quebec government in 1999.
CHARACTARISTICS
Appearance
They are similar in appearance to the Jersey and Guernsey cows all of Britain and Norman-Breton origin.
Colour
Calves are born with a light brown coat which turns dark brown through black at maturity Some animals remain a light brown, tawny or russet. They are generally lighter along the back line, around the muzzle, and near the udder. Generally the body skin is black pigmented.
Size
At birth the calves will weigh about 30 kg. Cows will reach a mature weight of about 450 – 500 kg: males 700 – 800 kg.
Reproductive traits
The breed is recognized for its superior fertility and calving ease.
Hardiness
The Canadian has gained an exceptional rusticity and has adapted to the difficult Canadian environmental conditions..
Uses
The Canadienne
is considered one of the most productive amoung the very old and hardy breeds
of the world. Canadienne is a very efficient milk producer noted for their high
yield of butterfat and protein, giving the milk excellent qualities for cheese
making. They are also noted for their excellent grazing ability. This, along
with the fact that they are one of the smaller dairy breeds, makes the Canadienne
an attractive choice for those dairymen interested in making milk using an intensive
pasture management system. The Canadienne will allow him to make use of pasture
earlier in the spring and later in the fall when wet pasture conditions would
result in larger breeds causing damage to the fields.

to Breed Class Average, a Canadian system for comparing all records within
a breed on a common footing. 1991 (394 records), show that the average production per cow increased: 1617 kg for milk (+35%), 88 kg for protein (+54%) and an increase of 178 points in combined BCA index (+37%) |
|||||
POPULATION TRENDS
For the past 10 years the population has been relatively stable. Annual registrations have varied between 60 (1993) and 149 (1997) with an average of about 105. In the past 3 years registrations have fallen slightly below this level.
The decrease in the number of records is due, both to the decrease in the number of milk producers and the creation of herds with two breeds and more. The Canadienne must deal with huge competition for milk production from animals of other breeds. In an industry characterized by intensive milk production, in which our long time breeders are involved, the survival of many milk farms depends on sufficient income in order to continue day to day business and, in some cases, ensure the repayment of milk quotas. In this context, the above data takes on more meaning.
Over the last decade, the elements that contributed to increasing the average production of the Canadienne are, among others, better herd management, hybrid vigour and genetic improvement by back crossing with the American Brown Swiss. A brief study of the genealogy of the fifty-six “best annual producers - year 2000” (cows with 700 points of combined BCA), indicates that nearly all those females have a Brown Swiss ancestor.
How do we
better value the best cows and at the same time promote the inclusion of their
progeny directly into the purebred Canadienne? How do we involve breeders in
a project that promotes integration in the purebred?
GENETICS
Inbreeding
The average level of inbreeding within the Canadienne Breed is lower than most other main line Dairy Breeds. To ensure that the inbreeding level is maintained as low as possible the Canadienne Cattle Breeders Association plans to make good use of bulls produced in its Project Embryos Plus. Currently 6 young bulls are being promoted to breeders of Canadienne cattle with the aim of producing sufficient daughters of each sire in herds that are on Official Milk Recording and Type Classification to produce an Official Proof on each of these young bulls.
