    • For additional breed codes please refer to the list available in the Interbull website
  3. Identification in the country of first registration, as known in the country sending this information.
  4. 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.
  5. All ID numbers: Registration numbers, right justified, leading blanks as zeros.
  6. Name: Left justified, blanks not as zeros.
  7. 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.
  8. 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

  9. 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.
  10. 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".

  11. 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).
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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).
