HOW TO USE ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVs) PEDIGREE HERD 1. What Are EBVs?

Many factors influence the appearance and performance of a bull. For example, age, nutrition, management, age of dam, health, season, quality of farm and the genes it has inherited from its parents. The only factor that can be passed on to its calves, however, is its inherited genetic potential. Estimated Breeding Values are measures of that potential and are calculated from the following:

 Measurements from the animal itself  Measurements from the animal’s herd mates (known as ‘contemporaries’)  Measurements from the animal’s relatives and their contemporaries  The degree to which one trait influences another (known as a ‘correlation’)  The degree to which each trait is passed on to the next generation (known as ‘’)

Each EBV calculation involves solving a set of simultaneous equations where the ‘unknowns’ are the genetic value of the animal and the environmental effect on its performance. When carried out many times, using all the information on the animal above, the equations are able to quantify the unknown genetic component.

The end result is the EBV and over time, as more pedigree and performance data is added, the solution to the equations becomes more accurate as the true breeding value of the animal is approached.

2. What EBV Information Is Available? EBVs are produced for fourteen traits that focus on an animal’s economic performance…

3. What Are Breeding Indexes?

It is often desirable to select animals on the basis of more than one EBV. Breeding Indexes focus on specific breeding goals and combine the appropriate EBVs in to a single figure based on their relative economic value. This is widely regarded as the most efficient method of selecting on a number of traits at once.

Three Breeding Indexes are published at sales, as follows:

Index Contributing Index Contributing EBVs EBVs Birth Weight EBV 200 Day Weight EBV Gestation Length BEEF 400 Day Weight CALVING EBV EBV VALUE Calving Ease EBV VALUE Muscle Depth EBV Fat Depth EBV

Index Contributing EBVs 200 Day Milk EBV Longevity EBV* MATERNAL Age First Calving EBV* VALUE Calving Interval EBV* Maternal Calving Ease * EBVs not published at breed sales

When using an Index it is important that your breeding objective is broadly similar to that of the Index in question, otherwise you may unwittingly change aspects of your herd that you did not necessarily want to.

4. How to Use the Information in This Catalogue

EBVs are expressed in the same unit as the recorded trait (eg kgs for 400 Day Weight, mm for Muscle Depth etc) are relative to the Breed Average. In sale catalogues, Breed Average for each trait is represented by the vertical line that is central on the bar chart. Bars that lie to the right of that line indicate EBVs that are above average. The further to the right they lie, the higher above Breed Average they are. Equally, bars that lie to the left of the line indicate EBVs that are below Breed Average. The further to the left they are, the further below Breed Average they are. An example is as follows:

The central line representing Breed Average for each trait

EBV values are shown & can be used to refine comparison with the breed using the Benchmark below

Accuracy: Accuracy Values are expressed as a % and indicate the quantity and quality of records used to produce each EBV or Index. The closer they are to 100%, the more accurate the EBV. Highly accurate EBVs are less likely to change over time.

Adjusted weights are the ‘raw’ weights recorded for the animal, adjusted to the nearest 100 days. No adjustment has been made to account for the effects of the environment, feeding etc. The numeric EBV values on the charts can be used to further refine comparison with the breed using the Breed Benchmark below. This is updated annually.

5. Things to Consider…

 To establish just how much influence a bull will pass on to his progeny it is important to remember to halve the value of the EBV, since the other half of a calf’s genes comes from the cow.

For example, a bull with a 400-Day Growth EBV of +62 is estimated to have the genetic potential to be 62kg heavier at 400 days of age compared to a bull with an EBV of 0. His calves would be expected to be 31kg heavier at that age when compared to calves by a bull with an EBV of 0, since they only inherit half of their growth genes from their sire (the other half coming from their dam).

 Select animals using EBVs that are relevant to your farm, cow type and market

 Bear in mind that EBVs predict an animal’s economic performance. They are no judge of factors such as soundness, locomotion, breed type etc and you must be satisfied with your potential purchase in these respects too.

 Consider the traits that will make you most money, but

 Don’t forget to check traits you may be compromising in pursuit of your goals, such as Calving Ease etc

6. EBV & Pedigree Info Just a Click Away EBV and pedigree information on all Limousin cattle are just a few internet clicks away… Step 1: Click the ‘Basco Online Herd Book’ button on the Limousin Society homepage (www.limousin.co.uk) Step 2: In the ‘All Breeds Quick Search’ box type the name or ear number of the animal you are interested in or click on the ‘Breeder Search’ button to look at all animals belonging to or bred by a particular breeder. The site will then tell you the animal’s owner/breeder details, its EBVs, its pedigree and list its progeny with full links to all of their information.
