- 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
- Identification in the country of first registration, as known in the country sending this information.
- 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.
- 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 (i.e. fewer somatic cells reps. better resistance to mastitis); low breeding value (B-) / transmitting ability (T-, half BV), means low 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 daughters only).
- 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 1000 to include 3 decimal points; for missing national proof fill in 9s (eg. 999999).
- 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.
- 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).
