General info for the national pedigree file (601 file)

The 601 file is a national pedigree file and must contain pedigree information of all animals included in the performance file in an animal-sire-dam format. Sires, dams and ancestors must also have an entry in this file as an animal; unknown ancestors should be coded ‘UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU’. To ensure sufficient pedigree information it is recommended that pedigree information of animals born within a period equivalent to a minimum of three generation intervals should be included. The 601 file is a file issued per country or organization providing pedigree information according to the format shown in Table 1. The 601 files can contain one breed or multiple breeds.
