This Holstein UK website is renowned for the quality of information that is
available on animals from around the world quickly and for free.
In this section you can search for all kinds of facts and figures on any bull or cow that is
contained within the system. All animal names that you see throughout the section are hyperlinked

We are pleased to make available the latest genetic evaluation results.
With this release of both Type and Production data GENOMIC evaluations are now included.
Many existing bulls gain a genomic component to add to their daughter evaluations.
Other unproven young bulls are now also available with genomic only results.

Genetic Evaluations - April 2013
We are pleased to make available the latest genetic evaluation results.
With this release of both Type and Production data GENOMIC evaluations for FEMALES are now included, where available
Bulls have included genomic results since April 2012.
Further information related to this release can be found below under ‘Proof Information Documents’
Female Genomic evaluations released today (12 April) by DairyCo and Holstein UK offers farmers new information on their animals to better target their future breeding needs.
The information is based on a combination of the traditional data recorded on each animal, combined with its ancestry information and now also its genomic information. This further improves the accuracy of the genetic indexes, and makes the information on young animals in particular much more informative.
For the first time, this also means females will receive the full complement of linear type indexes calculated by Holstein UK, alongside all their fitness trait indexes calculated by DairyCo Breeding+.
The results of these evaluations are published in three separate lists;
Top Genomic PLI Cows
Cows in-milk which have production data contributing to their genetic indexes
Top Genomic PLI Heifers
Females under 36 months of age, which do not yet have production data included in the indexes. (Note; some of these may have calved and already be classified, but are too fresh yet to have their production data contributing to the evaluations)
Top PLI Cows (Non Genomic)
The traditional list of milking cows which have both production and ancestry records, but have not been genotyped
