| '''Breed(s) <<BR>>'''Give the complete name of the breed(s). If a breed is evaluated together with a different breed, write the breed of evaluation in parenthesis. | '''Rules to define breed codes '''How do you define the difference between, for instance, HOL/RED and SIM/MON.

| '''Trait(s), trait definition(s) and unit(s) of measurement <<BR>>'''Briefly state the definition of the trait in words (e.g. fat percentage, non- return rate 56d, etc). Write the unit of measurement, e.g. liter, kg, lb, 1000cells/ml, etc. Indicate frequencies per category if the trait is categorical and specify transformation of data if practiced. For combined traits give the exact formula used to combine sub-traits. Press enter before each new trait is described and number the traits (this number should be used to make reference to a particular trait throughout the document). | '''Distinct ID number ranges '''If distinst number ranges is used for e.g. different breeds, sex, birth years etc please state the number ranges |

| '''Age groups (e.g. parities)''' '''included''' If more than one lactation is used, are there any weighting involved? What are these weights? Use parity = 0 for heifers. | '''National vs International: '''Is the 19 character international ID also used as national ID? If not, please describe what the rules for transforming national bull ID's to the International bull ID's |

| '''Other criteria (data edits) for''' '''inclusion of records:''' e.g. acceptable limits for phenotypic expression?, missing pedigree, status of herd/animal, etc | ---- * International ID: |
| Line 33: | Line 31: |
| '''Criteria for extension of records''' (if applicable) e.g. minimum and maximum number of test days required and extension method/formula. | Breed of bull Character 3 |
| Line 35: | Line 33: |
| '''Sire categories''' Give sire categories included in the genetic evaluations: AI vs. NS, 1st vs. 2nd crop, young vs. proven bulls, percentage of ET produced bulls, etc., and preferably quantify number of sires in each category. | Country of first registration Character 3 |
| Line 37: | Line 35: |
| '''Environmental effects, pre-adjustments''' What are the records adjusted for (age, heterogeneous variance, days open, etc)? Are pre-adjustments additive or multiplicative, i.e. affecting only the mean or both mean and variance? Write the relevant pre-adjustment equations and provide a copy of the key reference. How often are pre-adjustment factors updated (last update)? Give the base in months for age adjustments, if applicable. | Sex code Character 1 |
| Line 39: | Line 37: |
| '''Method (model) of genetic evaluation '''Use abbreviations for most common effects (list of abbreviations available on our website under Service> Service Documentation >Abbreviations to use in Interbull forms) e.g. MT-ML-RR-AM, Survival kit. If weighted analysis (e.g. records in progress) please give weights. '''Environmental effects in the genetic evaluation model '''State nature of these effects (e.g. continuous, discontinuous), number of levels, and in parenthesis how they are treated (e.g. fixed=F, random=R). '''Adjustment for heterogeneous in variance in evaluation model '''Indicate whether adjusted for '''in''' the model and if so what is adjusted for and how. Please give reference(s) if available. '''Use of genetic groups and relationships '''Is the relationship matrix modified in any way? What is the grouping based on? Birth year? Percentage of the breed purity? Country of origin? Etc? '''Blending of foreign/Interbull information in evaluation '''Yes or no. If yes, please briefly explain how or give reference. '''Genetic parameters in the evaluation '''Give ALL genetic parameters assumed in genetic model (h2, 2p, rg, rp, t,''' '''c, etc) in appendix GE. Provide information '''also''' in appendices PR, CO, BCO, SM, as applicable, if you participate in the international genetic evaluations of Interbull. '''System validation '''Explain the validation process: Checks on data quality / model, trend estimation? RBV correlations? Etc. '''Expression of genetic evaluations '''If standardised (e.g. RBV), give standardisation formula on PART 2: EBV, ETA, RBV, PD, etc. and units used. Provide standardization formula when practiced '''Definition of genetic reference base '''How is the genetic (reference) base defined: cow or bull; Fixed or rolling; birth year, calving year or proof year; etc. '''Next base change ''' '''Calculation of reliability '''Briefly state how reliabilities are calculated and give reference if available. '''Criteria for official publication of ''''''evaluations '''Minimum reliability or number of daughters / herd, etc. '''Number of evaluations / publications per year '''1, 2, 3,...? Which month(s)? '''Use in total merit index '''Name the total merit (performance) index and its constituents. Give economic weights and indicate how they are expressed (preferably in genetic standard deviation units). '''Anticipated changes in the near future '''State the nature and the date of the anticipated / planned change. '''Key reference on methodology applied '''Please name the key references, which are used as the basis of the current genetic evaluations. '''Key organization: name, address, phone, fax, e-mail, web site '''Be explicit. |
ID number of bull Character 12 |
Guideline to Form ID
You are kindly asked to fill in a Form ID to describe the identification system in your country and submit the form to the Interbull Centre ( interbull@slu.se ). Please follow these guidelines as closely as possible when filling out the form in order to accomplish this and in order for forms to be as homogeneous across country as possible.
General Guidelines
- Write in English.
Do not modify the form, i.e. keep all appendices even if they are empty, but feel free to add for
instance tables with genetic (co-)variances.- Be detailed, but concise.
- Quantify answers wherever possible.
- use one form per breed or one form for all breeds.
- If the ID system has been modified at any time, please fill in tables with Description of changes in ID system and repeat each question for each time the system has been modified.
- Give as detailed information as possible, but remember that some information is better than no information!
Specific Guidelines:
Country (or countries) Give the complete name. Write all country names if joint evaluation.
Breed(s)Give the complete name of the breed(s). If a breed is evaluated together with a different breed, write the breed of evaluation in parenthesis.
Rules to define breed codes How do you define the difference between, for instance, HOL/RED and SIM/MON. Briefly state the criteria for the 3 character breed code (position 1-3 in the international ID*).
Distinct ID number ranges If distinst number ranges is used for e.g. different breeds, sex, birth years etc please state the number ranges
Re-use of ID If yes please state the rules for re-use.
Semen straw information Briefly describe the relation between information on semen straws and the (International) ID. Please indicate where a cross-reference list can be found in case of inconsistencies.
National vs International: Is the 19 character international ID also used as national ID? If not, please describe what the rules for transforming national bull ID's to the International bull ID's
