Beef Clients Get Access to Carcase Trait EBVs

A new web link on an animal's breeding report, now means beef producers can go directly to the AHDB National Beef Evaluation and see a series of new breeding values.

The breeding values were created as part of the Carcase Traits project, which pulls together data from BCMS, Breed Societies and abattoirs to generate EBVs for traits like Carcase Weight, Conformation and Days to Slaughter. Further information can be accessed here, for clients logged into the website.

To access the new information, click the green button "AHDB National Beef Evaluation (link)"

This button is presented on the main page that hosts an animal's breeding record. 

 

From here a link takes the user to a view which shows the new carcase traits, an example of which can be seen below - but can be viewed much more clearly by clicking on the link for this bull.
