- For additional breed codes please refer to the list available in the Interbull website

- For additional country codes please use the ISO 3166 standard.
- All ID numbers: Registration numbers, right justified, leading blanks as zeros.
- Name: Left justified, blanks not as zeros.
- High breeding value (B+) / transmitting ability (T+, half BV), means high values are desirable; low breeding value (B-) / transmitting ability (T-, half BV), means low breeding values are desirable.
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 only); 22 based on mostly (more than 50%) imported daughters or daughters born from imported embryos
- 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.
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".
- National proof expressed in their official (publishable) form; multiplied by 100 to include 2 decimal points; for missing national proof fill in 9s (eg. 99999).
- 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.
- Conformation trait definition: Conformation traits may be named differently in different countries and definitions may not be exactly the same. Recommended definitions are included in Table 1 in the document “Interbull evaluations for conformation traits for the Holstein breed”. Individual countries are encouraged to provide data on traits matching closest to these definitions.
- Effective Daughter Contribution should be calculated using the same formulae as for production traits. Note: reliability due to own performance should be computed per trait and information from other traits in a multiple trait national genetic evaluation should be ignored.
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).
