APPENDIX I
Estimated sire standard deviation (diagonal) and genetic correlations (above
diagonal) considered in the Interbull routine evaluation for udder health traits
of February 2003; sire standard deviation estimates are determined on a
de-standardized transmitting ability scale.

Run-number Run1 =based on milksomatic cell information from all countries
with thisinformation available
Run2 =based on clinical mastitis from countries with this
information available, and on milk somatic cell 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.
