Publication of Parent Averages

Reference ID:571

Whereas…

Whereas the withdrawal of the DGV deprives breeders and people involved in genetic selection of a precious tool.

Whereas the parent average is available on the index reports of different countries (United States, Germany, Switzerland, etc.).

Whereas it would be easier to get an overview of the impact of genomics and the transmission potential of the animals by making a comparison between the genomic index and the parent average.

Therefore…

Therefore, it is requested that Lactanet publish the parent average for all traits and each genomic tested animal on the genomic reports sent to breeders as well as on the Lactanet Genetic Evaluation Summaries.
