APPENDIX I
Estimated sire standard deviation (diagonal) and genetic correlations (above
diagonal) considered in the Interbull routine evaluation for udder health traits
of May, 2005; sire standard deviation estimates are determined on a
de-standardized transmitting ability scale.

Run-number: Run1= based on milk somatic cell information from all countries
  with this information available
Run2= based on clinical mastitis from countries with this
  information available, and on milk somaticcell information
  for all other countries. Note that Run2 was not carried out
  for BSW and GUE since none of the participating countries
  provided clinical mastitis information.
