NEW * Female genomic evaluations (Holstein only)
Female Genomic evaluations released by DairyCo and Holstein UK offers farmers new information on their animals to better target their future breeding needs.
The information is based on a combination of the traditional data recorded on each animal, combined with its ancestry information and now also its genomic information. This further improves the accuracy of the genetic indexes, and makes the information on young animals in particular much more informative.
For the first time, this also means females will receive the full complement of linear type indexes calculated by Holstein UK, alongside all their fitness trait indexes calculated by DairyCo Breeding+.
The results of these evaluations are published in three separate lists;
a. Cows in-milk which have production data contributing to their genetic indexes
a. Females under 36 months of age, which do not yet have production data included in the indexes. (Note; some of these may have calved and already be classified, but are too fresh yet to have their production data contributing to the evaluations)
a. The traditional list of milking cows which have both production and ancestry records, but have not been genotyped
