🧬 Breeding Potential Score
Science-based breeding evaluation — Dual-mode calculation
How It Works?
Field Mode: Quick evaluation with basic data (milk yield, lactation, SCC, udder score). Genomic Mode: Full scientific analysis including genomic test results (NM$, PTA, DPR, FSAV). Both modes apply 305-AA correction factors (Miles et al. 2025).
What Does This Tool Do?
The Breeding Evaluation tool calculates breeding value by scoring your livestock's genetic potential, reproductive performance, and physical traits.
Offers two modes: field and genomic. Provides comprehensive evaluation with milk yield, reproduction, morphology, and health parameters.
Frequently Asked Questions
A breeding evaluation score is a scientific metric that determines breeding value by scoring an animal's genetic potential, reproductive performance, milk yield, and physical traits. Animals with high scores should be kept in the breeding program.
Milk yield, reproductive performance (service period, age at first insemination), body condition score, feet and leg structure, udder morphology, and pedigree information are the main criteria. Genomic tests provide additional accuracy. Each farm can determine weights according to its own priorities.
A genomic test is an analysis method that determines genetic potential from the animal's DNA. Compared to traditional evaluation, it allows breeding value assessment at an earlier age with higher accuracy. Genomic predictions can be made for milk yield, disease resistance, and reproductive traits.
