Display of Crampy with Genetic Evaluations of Bull and Cows

Reference ID:1429

Whereas

Whereas the problem of Crampy has been known for many years, particularly in the Holstein breed;

Whereas this problem has been the subject of initial research, but insufficient data has prevented the presentation of results satisfactory to breeders;

Whereas the lack of transparency and the absence of concrete actions taken within the industry to prevent the condition from spreading have made Crampy a problem whose prevalence is neither negligible nor without economic consequences for breeders;

Whereas the limited data available, particularly the prevalence in a bull’s offspring, is relatively inaccessible, as it is presented in a format that is not easy for most breeders to understand.

Therefore

Therefore, Lactanet and the various partners involved are asked to modify the display of genetic evaluations by improving the transparency and accessibility of information concerning Crampy in bulls and cows.
