krewny Explanation: This is a possibility: the influence of relatives in the herd to the EBV. See here: ccccccccccccccccccccccc Once this information is available, the EBV can be defined as : EBV = (Animal’s Performance – Average Performance of Peers) x Heritability For example, if a bull weighed say 60 kg above the average of its peers at 400 days, its EBV would be calculated as follows: 400 Day Weight EBV = 60 kg x 0.30 = +9 kgs Of course, in real life the calculations become far more complicated. In a GROUP BREEDPLAN evaluation, the calculation of EBVs for an animal include : the animal’s own performance the performance of all known relatives in all herds the relationship between the different traits the performance of all herds over all years of recording http://breedplan.une.edu.au/tips/Understanding Milk EBVs.pdf |
