Source of genotypes (chips used)
Imputation method for missing genotypes
Propagation of genomic information to non-genotyped descendants and ancestors
Animals included in reference population (males, females, countries included, total number)
Source of phenotypic data (DYD, de-regressed proofs, national EBVs and/or MACE evaluations)
Other criteria (data edits) for inclusion of records
Criteria for extension of records (if applicable)
Sire categories
Genomic model (linear, Bayesian, polygenic effect, genotypes or haplotypes)
Blending of direct genomic value (DGV) with traditional EBV
Environmental effects in the genetic evaluation model
Adjustment for heterogeneous variance in evaluation model
Computation of genomic reliability
Blending of foreign/Interbull information in evaluation
Genetic parameters in the evaluation	Use Appendix GENO for heritability/genetic variance estimates; for multiple-trait genetic evaluations, provide genetic correlation estimates between traits separately.Use also appendices PR, CO, BCO, SM, LO, CA, as applicable, if you participate in the international genetic evaluations of Interbull

^aEither: Production (e.g. milk, fat, protein), Conformation, Health (e.g. mastitis resistance, milk somatic cell, resistance to diseases other than mastitis), Longevity, Calving (e.g. stillbirth, calving ease), Female fertility (e.g. non-return rate, interval between reproductive events, number of AI’s, heat strength), Workability (e.g. milking speed, temperament), Beef production, Efficiency (e.g. body weight, energy balance, body conditioning score), or Other traits.

System Validation

Approximate number of test bulls for this trait group:
If including foreign reference bulls: 4-yr old de-regressed MACE EBVs, OR Current de-regressed MACE EBVs If including foreign test bulls (type of proof 21 or 22), provide the reason.
If using a truncation ≠ 4 years, provide the reason.
If applying an age cutoff for test bulls ≠ (YYYY-8), provide the reason

Appendix GENO

Parameters used in genetic/genomic evaluation

Country (or countries):
Main trait group:
Breed (repeat as necessary):
Trait	Definition	ITB^a	h^2b	Genetic variance^b	Official proof standardisation formula^c

^aIndicate, with X, traits that are submitted to Interbull for international genetic evaluations.

^bIf repeated records are treated as separate traits, provide heritability estimates and genetic variances separately for each trait, as well as for all traits pooled, i.e. for the trait submitted to Interbull.

^cExpressed as follows: StandEval=((eval-a)/b)*c+d where a=mean of the base adjustment, b=standard deviation of the base, c=standard deviation of expression (include sign if scale is reversed), and d=base of expression.
