2. As shown in bytes 4-63 in the file with record type=019.
3. Number of new progeny (first calving daughters) considered in the last available national genetic
evaluation in each year, where YYYY is the year of the most recent routine genetic evaluation
run whose results will be included in the international evaluation.
4. Mean year of first calving of daughters on which the bull’s national evaluation for direct effects in year YYYY-4
was based.
5. Same information as shown in bytes 64-73 in the file with record type=019, but pertaining
to the last available national genetic evaluation for female fertility in YYYY-4, where
YYYY is the year of the most recent routine genetic evaluation run whose results will be
included in the international evaluation.
6. Same information as shown in the file with record type=019.
General: If numbers of daughters are the same for the four traits, information must be repeated (do
not leave it blank).
