Terminology FOR

EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES

The following is a brief description of Angus GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs and $Index Values and Accuracies. For a more detailed explanation of these please refer to the Angus Society of Australia web site (www.Angusaustralia.com.au).

ACCURACY (%) ~ Provides an indication of the reliability of an EBV. As more performance information becomes available on an animal (or it’s progeny, or relatives) then the accuracy of it’s EBVs for particular traits will increase.

CALVING EASE DIR (%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their calves from 2 year old heifers to be delivered without assistance.

CALVING EASE DTRS (%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their 2 year old daughters to calve without assistance.

GESTATION LENGTH (DAYS) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the number of days from the date of conception to the calf birth date.

BIRTH WT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in calf birth weight.

200–DAY WT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 200 days of age.

400–DAY WT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 400 days of age.

600–DAY WT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 600 days of age.

MATURE COW WEIGHT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in cow weight at 5 years of age.

MATURE COW HEIGHT (KG) ~ MCH) EBVs provide estimates of genetic differences between animals in the height of mature females.

MILK (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in milk production, expressed as variation in 200-day weight of daughter’s calves.

SCROTAL SIZE (CM) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in scrotal circumference at 400 days of age.

DAYS TO CALVING ~ Estimates of the genetic differences in female fertility, expressed as the number of days from the start of the joining period until subsequent calving.

CARCASE WEIGHT (KG) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in carcase weight, adjusted to 750 days of age.

EYE MUSCLE AREA (CM2) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in eye muscle area at the 12/13th rib site, in a 400Kg carcase.

RIB FAT (MM) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the 12/13th rib site, in a 400 Kg carcase.

RUMP FAT (MM) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the P8 rump site, in a 400Kg carcase.

RETAIL BEEF YIELD % (RBY%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in percentage retail beef yield, in a 400Kg carcase.

INTRA–MUSCULAR FAT % (IMF%) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in percentage intra-muscular fat (marbling) at the 12/13th rib site, in a 400 Kg carcase.

NET FEED INTAKE TRAIL (KG/DAY) ~ Estimates of the genetic differences in feed intake for animals adjusted to the same growth rate and weight base.

DOCILITY (%) ~ Docility EBVs are estimates of genetic differences between animals in temperament. Docility EBVs are expressed as differences in the percentage of progeny that will be scored with acceptable temperament (ie. either “docile” or “restless”).

ANGUS BREEDING INDEX ~ Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular production system or market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall profitability in the majority of commercial grass and grain finishing beef production systems. The Angus Breeding Index is particularly suited to commercial producers who sell progeny into different markets, or to seedstock producers supplying bulls to commercial clients who produce for a range of different production systems and market end points.

DOMESTIC INDEX ~ Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting the domestic supermarket trade. Steers are assumed to be finished using either grass, grass supplemented by grain or grain (eg. 50 –70 days) with steers slaughtered at 490 Kg live weight (270 Kg carcase weight with 12 mm P8 fat depth) at 16 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore maternal traits are of importance. Emphasis has been placed on eating quality and tenderness to favour animals that are suited to MSA requirements.

HEAVY GRAIN INDEX ~ Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting pasture grown steers with a 200 day feedlot finishing period for the grain fed high quality, highly marbled markets. Steers are assumed to be slaughtered at 760 Kg live weight (420Kg carcase weight with 30 mm P8 fat depth) at 24 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore maternal traits are of importance. There is a significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.

HEAVY GRASS INDEX ~ Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting pasture finished steers. Steers are assumed to be slaughtered at 620 Kg live weight (340 Kg carcase weight with 12 mm P8 fat depth) at 22 months of age. Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore maternal traits are of importance. Emphasis has been placed on eating quality and tenderness to favour animals that are suited to MSA requirements.
