Explanations

All breeding values are shown as standard deviations (s) from the average of the tested animals of this breed. By this way of demonstration all values can easily compared, despite of the country which they are coming from. Additionally absolute values of some specific yields are written.

Breeding values dairy breeds: Presentation on the German basis of the last available estimation in February 2005. Deviations of this presentation are clearly written.

Breeding values beef breeds: Presentation of the basis of the Czech Republic. Last estimation in October 2004. Deviations of this presentation are clearly written.

Presented breeding values: For InterGen it is very important to pre-select all presented bulls. Only bulls with overall positive breeding values for moderate prices are offered. Bulls with mistakes in important traits are not offered. Therefore we don’t present all less important values of each bull, to save your time. If you like we can send you all additional information to each bull. Please contact us or look by yourself to the official web-sides of the departments for estimation of breeding values (look at links).
