INTERBEEF INTERNATIONAL EVALUATIONS
Routine evaluations
The Intebeef group has decided to have 2 routine evaluations per year. The evaluations are performed during the beginning and at the end of the year. At routine runs, results are sent out to member organization for checking before official release, the period between distribution and official release is called pre release. All the results are confidential until official release.
Test evaluations
From January 01 2024 only one test evaluation per year will be performed.
A last optional test evaluation will be performed in October 2023, if needed.
The test evaluation will be performed during spring and should be performed:
- 1) when a new member organizations wants to join the Interbeef international evaluations
- 2) for member organizations and Interbull Centre to investigate the impact of new or modified national/international genetic evaluations on the international evaluation
- 3) for Interbull to investigate potential improvements of the international genetic evaluation procedure
Results of test evaluation are reviewed by technical representatives of all countries involved. Pending on the review, an official implementation of the modifications is targeted for a near future, usually within 6 months or at the following routine evaluation.
