Allowed codes for National Proofs and Parameter data
For further information on the file formats refer to:
Accepted codes for National proof data (file300/700):
Accepted codes for type of proof:
00 (unknown);
11 (based on first crop sampling daughters);
12 (based on first and second crop daughters);
13 (based on parent average and genomic information only);
21(based on imported semen of proven bull, second crop daughters only);
22 (based on mostly, more than 50%, imported daughters or daughters born from imported embryos.)
23 (GEBV with foreign PA)
24 (GEBV with foreign proof)
Accepted abbreviations for publication of proof:
Y (if bull proof meets national standards for official publication in the country sending information.);
P (if bull is part of a simultaneous progeny-testing program, but the proof does not yet meet national standards for official publication);
N (otherwise).
Accepted codes for status of bulls:
00(unknown);
10(bull randomly sampled through an official AI scheme);
15 (young bull, genomically tested, not yet selected for AI);
20(other bull. Records with “20” in this file will be excluded from the international evaluation, unless type of proof is “21”).
Accepted codes for National parameter data (file301/701):
Reference (genetic) base definition in the country sending information:
- breed initial (1 char),
- year established (YY),
- bull(b) or cow(C) (1 char);
- birth(B), calving (C) or evaluation (E) (1 char);
- year of event (use middle year if base on multiple year (YY);
for breed initial see breed codes in https://interbull.org/ib/icarbreedcodes (use X If based on multiple breeds) Example: H00BB95 means a base defined 2000 based on Holstein bulls born in 1995.
