4 LIMOUSIN PERFORMANCE RECORDING HOW TO USE LIMOUSIN BREEDING VALUES ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVs) & GENOMIC BREEDING VALUES (GEBVs) 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 heritability )

5 2. What Are GEBVs? In March 2016, Genomic Breeding Values (GEBVs) became available for all Limousin cattle for a range of new Carcase Traits. They are the first of their kind within the UK s beef sector and are the result of a 1.5 million four-year research project between the British Limousin Cattle Society, ABP Food Group and SRUC. GEBVs take conventional EBVs a step further by using information from animals DNA as well as the usual measurements of performance. To produce the breeding value the DNA is compared to a DNA key for the breed: This key is created from a core population of Limousin animals that have been measured on-farm and in the abattoir as well as having DNA collected The key is like a library that cross refers information from the DNA strand with different levels of abattoir performance. GBVs are produced by comparing the DNA of an animal with the key. They are calculated from the correspondence of that animal s DNA with those in the library GEBVs are used in exactly the same was as EBVs Albeit they are produced in slightly different ways GEBVs are in essence breeding values that indicate genetic merit as EBVs do and the way the two are used should not differ (see paragraph 5 below). 3. What Are Breeding Indexes? It is often desirable to select animals on the basis of more than one EBV/GEBV. Breeding Indexes focus on specific breeding goals and combine the appropriate EBVs/GEBVs 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. Four Breeding Indexes are published at sales, as follows: * EBVs & GEBVs 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.

6 4. What Breeding Value Information Is Available? In sale catalogues, EBVs & GEBVs are produced for nineteen traits that focus on an animal s economic performance. Birth Weight (kg) EBV EBV Indicates Look for Calving Ease (%) Maternal Calving Ease (%) Gestation Length (days) 200 Day Milk (kg) 200 Day Weight (kg) 400 Day Weight (kg) Muscle Depth (mm) Fat Depth (mm) Age at 1 st Calving (%) Longevity (years) Calving Interval (days) Docility (%) Genetic potential for calf weight at birth Ease with which a bull s progeny will be born Ease with which a bull s daughters will calve Genetic potential for gestation length The maternal component of 200 day growth (i.e. the contribution that the milking and maternal abilities of a bull s daughters make towards their calves growth at 200 days of age) Genetic potential for growth from birth to 200 days of age Genetic potential for growth from birth to 400 days of age Genetic potential for muscularity and potential to increase lean meat yield Genetic potential for leaner carcases Genetic potential for early sexual maturity Genetic potential for long life in the breeding herd Genetic potential for the time taken to get back in calf Genetic potential for being calm when handled High negative EBVs if you want low calf birth weights High positive EBVs if you want less assisted calvings High positive EBVs if you want less assisted calvings High negative EBVs if you want short gestation lengths High positive EBVs if you want daughters to wean heavier calves High positive EBVs if you want high growth rates to weaning High positive EBVs if you want high growth rates to finishing High positive EBVs if you want good calf conformation Negative EBVs if you want to produce leaner carcases or take calves to heavier weights without penalty for fatness High negative EBVs for a greater proportion of heifers that hold to 1 st service High positive values for animals likely to remain in the herd for longer High negative values to breed cows that get back in calf quickly High positive values for animals that are likely to be more calm when handled

7 Scrotal Circumference (cm) GEBV Age to Slaughter GEBV (days) Carcase Weight GEBV (kg) Fillet GEBV (kg) Striploin GEBV (kg) Rump GEBV (kg) Genetic potential for scrotal size. Linked to male serving capacity and puberty of daughters. GEBV indicates genetic potential for Age at slaughter assuming a standard carcase weight of 350kgs Carcase weight at a standard slaughter age of 600 days Weight of fillet at a standard slaughter age of 600 days and carcase weight of 350kg Weight of striploin at a standard slaughter age of 600 days and carcase weight of 350kg Weight of rump at a standard slaughter age of 600 days and carcase weight of 350kg High positive values for animals with higher likely serving capacity and earlier maturing daughters. Look for High negative values (less days) for animals that will reach 350 kg deadweight quicker High positive values for animals that will reach heavier carcase weights at 600 days of age High positive values for higher fillet weights in the carcase High positive values for higher striploin weights in the carcase High rump values for higher fillet weights in the carcase Breeding values for further traits for each animal are available on Enter animal name or ear number in the Quick Search box. You can also search by breeder and by breeding values ( Breeder Search and EBV Search ). The additional traits available are: Age at 1 st Calving EBV Calving Interval EBV Longevity EBV Topside EBV & GEBV Silverside EBV & GEBV Knuckle EBV & GEBV

8 5. How to Use the Information in This Catalogue EBVs & GEBVs 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/GEBVs 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/GEBVs that are below Breed Average. The further to the left they are, the further below Breed Average they are. An example is as follows

9 The numeric EBV & GEBV values on the charts can be used to further refine comparison with the breed using the Breed Benchmark below. This is updated annually Limousin Breed Benchmark Trait Bottom Breed Top 1% 10% 25% Avge 25% 10% 1% Birth Weight (kg) Calving Ease (%) Mat. Calv. Ease (%) Gest.

10 6. 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/GEBV, 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/GEBvs that are relevant to your farm, cow type and market Bear in mind that EBVs/GEBVs 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 EBVs/GEBVs change as time goes on. New calves and new performance records tell us more about animals breeding potential. Limousin EBVs/GEBVs are updated three times per annum and all values will change as more information is added and the accuracy of the predictions increases. 7. EBV/GEBV & Pedigree Info Just a Click Away EBV, GEBV 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 ( 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 breeding values, its pedigree and list its progeny with full links to all of their information. 8.
