Format305 for control files for the TrendTest software

The file305_POPBRD files are prepared by ITBC early in a test run and distributed to the NGECs that need to perform conventional validation for at least one trait in a given population (POP) and breed of evaluation (BRD).

Col

Name

Format

Description

1

tgrp

char

Trait group code (prod/conf/uder/long/calv/fert/work)

2

trt

char

Trait code (see here)

3

evaldate

int

National evaluation date (yyyymmdd; from param file uploaded to IDEA)

4

herit

float

Heritability (from param file uploaded to IDEA)

5

siresd

float

Sire SD estimated at ITBC in current test run

6

merit

char

Genetic merit definition (B+/B-/T+/T-)

7

type2x

char

Whether foreign bulls (with type of proof 21 or 22) should be included (Y/N)

8

min_hrd

int

Minimum herds to include a bull

9

min_dgh

int

Minimum daughters to include a bull

10

byr1

int

First birth year to include for method 1 (1986 for HOL, 1981 for others)

11

miny

int

First birth year to include for method 3

12

maxy

int

Last birth year to include for method 3

13

corr

int

Correlation between new and old evaluations for method 3 (R=0.99)

14

preval

char

Date of previous validation (yy-mon) for traits last validated more than two years ago

15

chg

char

Change code (Y/N): whether validation is required because population is included for first time or because large changes where introduced in national evaluations for this trait

Notes

  • BRD: breed of evaluation (BSW/GUE/HOL/JER/RDC/SIM)
  • POP: population code (see here)

  • there is a header line which will be skipped by the software
  • there is an extra space between all fields to allow the file to be easily parsed without needing to specify fixed column positions
