by Michelle Axford, 11 March 2008
From 7 April 2008, Australian Breeding Values (ABVs) will be easier to use
thanks to the simpler expression of all non-production traits. While production
ABVs (such as kilogram protein) will remain the same, all other traits will be
expressed as a percentage more or less than 100, where 100 represents the
current industry average. For example, an ABV milking speed of 105 will mean
that the milking speed of this bull's daughters is 5% more than the breed
average in Australia. An ABV of 92 would mean the bull's daughters' milking
speed was 8% less than the breed average.
