HOL=Holstein-Friesian (Black-and-White) type; BSW=Brown Swiss type; GUE=Guernsey type; JER=Jersey type; SIM=Simmental type; MSH=Milking Shorthorn type; PIN=Pinzgauer type; AYS=Ayrshire type; RED=Non-Ayrshire Red and Red-and-White types. . For additional breed codes please refer to the list available in the Interbull website 1. Identification in the country of first registration, as known in the country sending this information. 1. Country codes; Interbull codes in English: ARG=Argentina; AUS=Australia; AUT=Austria; BEL=Belgium; CAN=Canada; HRV=Croatia; CZE=Czech Republic; DNK=Denmark; EST=Estonia; FIN=Finland; FRA=France; GBR=United Kingdom; DEU=Germany; GRC=Greece; HUN=Hungary; IND=India; IRL=Ireland; ISR=Israel; ITA=Italy; JPN=Japan; LVA=Latvia; LTU=Lithuania; LUX=Luxembourg; MEX=Mexico; NLD=Netherlands; NZL=New Zealand; NOR=Norway; POL=Poland; PRT=Portugal; ROU=Romania; SVK=Slovak Republic; SVN=Slovenia; KOR=South Korea; ZAF=South African Republic; ESP=Spain; SWE=Sweden; CHE=Switzerland; TUN=Tunisia; USA=United States of America; ZWE=Zimbabwe . For additional country codes please use the ISO 3166 standard. 1. All ID numbers: Registration numbers, right justified, leading blanks as zeros. 1. Name: Left justified, blanks not as zeros. 1. Needed to create a cross-reference list of bulls with multiple registrations; could be identical to the international identification. 1. Reference (genetic) base definition in the country sending this 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 based on multiple years (YY); for breed initial see breed code in footnote 2 (use X if based on multiple breeds); e.g. H00BB95 means a base defined 2000 based on Holstein bulls born in 1995; A95CC90 means a base defined 1995 based on Ayrshire cows calving in 1990. 1. Unit of expression of national proof and daughter yield deviation in the country sending this information; KGS=kilogram, LTR=litre; LBS=pound; RBV=Relative Breeding Value; BCA=Breed Class Average. 1. BV=Breeding Value: TA=Transmitting Ability (half BV). 1. Type of proof: '''00''' unknown; '''11''' based on first crop sampling daughters; '''12''' based on first and second crop daughters; '''21''' based on imported semen of proven bull (second crop daughters only). 1. Y if information from another country is incorporated in daughter yield deviation or national proof if daughter yield deviation is not available; N otherwise. Records with "Y" in this field will be excluded from the international evaluation. 1. Y if bull proof meets national standards for official publication in the country sending this information; P if bull is part of a simultaneous progeny-testing programme, but the proof does not yet meet national standards for official publication; N otherwise. 1. Status of bull: '''00''' unknown; '''10''' bull randomly sampled through an official AI scheme; '''20''' other bull. Records with "20" in this field will be excluded from the international evaluation, unless type of proof is "21". 1. DYD=Daughter Yield Deviation; National proof expressed as either estimated BV or TA (footnote 10); in base and units equivalent to the country sending this information (footnotes 8 and 9); multiplied by 100 to include 2 decimal points; for missing national proof or DYD fill in 9s: e.g. missing milk yield national proof 99999999 missing fat yield DYD 999999. 1. Breed of evaluation will determine the international evaluation of the breed that will include this record; usually it is the same as the breed of bull. 1. Effective daughter contributions calculated according to the Interbull document "New weighting factors for the international genetic evaluation", 7 July, 2000, rounded to nearest integer. General: All numeric fields should be right justified All alpha fields should be in upper case. If numbers of daughters, herds, and effective daughters and repeatability/reliability are the same for protein as for milk/fat, information must be repeated (do not leave it blank).
