Official Results from the GEBV-test:
Official GEBV-test rules:
- Then GEBV-test is needed whenever there is a major change either in the genomic evaluation or in the conventional evaluation. Additionally, if there is a major change in the reference population a new GEBV-test should be required.GEBV-test is valid for only two years.
- Following decision by the ICAR board, all countries that want to validate national GEBVs need to participate in the GEBV-test starting on April 12, 2012, for all production traits (milk, fat and protein yields).
- The expected regression coefficient for the GEBV-test model 1 should be within the confidence interval of plus minus two times the standard error (t test).
- For very large reference populations, however, the SE becomes too small and makes the above criteria too restrictive. Therefore, it is proposed a “biological confidence interval” of ±0.1.
- The R-square of model 1 should be higher than the R-Square of model 2.
- GEBV-test should only be noted as failed if regression coefficients are significantly lower than the expected value (=over evaluation of young bulls), or higher than 1.20.
The following populations have succeeded to provide the information requested and passed the GEBV-test (Please note that some GEBV-test results are older than 2 years).
