5 National evaluation dates expressed using the format YYYYMMDD
-
6 Heritability for a specific trait in format f8.6. Should be larger than 0 and smaller than 0,999999
-
7 Reference (genetic) base definition in the country sending information: breed initial (1 char), year established (YY), bull(b) or cow(C) (1 char); birth(B), calving (C) or evaluation (E) (1 char); year of event (use middle year if base on multiple year (YY); for breed initial see breed code in footnote2 (use X If based on multiple breeds):e.g. H00BB95 means a base defined 2000 base on Holstein bulls born in 1995.
-
8 Genetic merit definition consists of a letter and a sign:
-
Sign: ‘ + ’ = Higher values are desirable, ‘ - ‘= Lower values are desirable
-
B = Breeding value
-
T = Transmitting ability;
-
-
