Diamond Sires are ‘Rock Solid’ bulls<br />

with over 1,000 milking daughters.<br />

Therefore recognising sires with<br />

outstanding Second Crop success and<br />

ensuring genetic accuracy.<br />

Rock Solid Genetics highlights sires<br />

with over 100 daughters in 60 herds.<br />

Providing stable Type and Production<br />

proofs over time. Use Rock Solid<br />

Genetics to identify the most reliable<br />

sires Identifies from sires <strong>Genus</strong> within ABS. the <strong>Genus</strong><br />

ABS stud with the easiest Calving<br />

Ease ratings, based on hundreds of<br />

observations. Calving Ease sires enable<br />

cows to get off to the best possible start<br />

after calving.<br />

Based on over one million services a<br />

year, <strong>Genus</strong> ABS are unique in being<br />

able to identify fertility ratings of our<br />

stud. The bulls with the highest Semen<br />

Fertility are identified with this symbol.<br />

Identifies those bulls that score well<br />

on the traits that are desirable on a<br />

grassland system, locomotion, fertility<br />

and body condition score etc.<br />

Identifies those sires who’s daughters<br />

show improved daughter fertility. Use<br />

these sires to maximise the reproductive<br />

potential of your herd.<br />

Where high quality milk is a priority.<br />

High component sires have been<br />

marked with the Cheese Maker symbol.<br />

To highlight those sires who have a<br />

proof based on <strong>UK</strong> milking daughters.<br />

Identifies our most potent Type<br />

improvers. Use these sires with<br />

confidence to breed high Type long life<br />

cows.<br />

ROCK SOLID RESULTS<br />

DAUGHTER CONSISTENCY<br />

& PROOF STABILITY<br />

Rock solid Genetics from <strong>Genus</strong> ABS have reliable first crop proofs<br />

resulting in stable second crop proofs. <strong>Genus</strong> ABS sires stand the test<br />

of time and achieve Diamond Sire status with the addition of one<br />

thousand or more milking daughters. You can count on <strong>Genus</strong> ABS to<br />

deliver profitable, Rock Solid results that you can trust. Look to icons<br />

and for Rock Solid results and maximum satisfaction!<br />

<strong>Genus</strong> ABS identifies different levels of reliability through:<br />

GENOMICS<br />

These sires have superior genomic values, highly appealing<br />

cow families and strong and reliable sire stacks.<br />

Cornerstone Breeding programme<br />

We utilise our progeny test programme (in addition to<br />

genomics) to add daughter performance information to a<br />

bull’s proof prior to graduation.<br />

Rock Solid Genetics <br />

Sires with 100 daughters in 60 herds or more at graduation.<br />

These sires achieve Rock Solid Genetics level of reliability.<br />

The highest standard in the industry.<br />

Diamond Sires<br />

<strong>Genus</strong> ABS leads the industry in sires achieving Diamond Sire<br />

status—1,000 milking daughters in a sires proof.

GENOMICS<br />

What are genomic evaluations<br />

Genomics is the science of evaluating DNA of an animal to give an indication of the potential that animal<br />

could achieve. With enough information, it is possible to see clear associations emerge between the<br />

animals genome and their actual performance. Through knowledge of these associations, genomic<br />

evaluations have been developed. Genomic evaluations are, like traditional genetic evaluations, calculated<br />

from a blend of information.<br />

We at <strong>Genus</strong> ABS have been using genomic evaluations for some time to help select the next generation<br />

of bulls for progeny testing, giving us extra confidence in our selections with a view to graduating more<br />

high quality sires than ever before. In addition, we are marketing elite young bulls that possess superior<br />

genomic values from reputable cow families and first-class sire stacks. For information on the genomic<br />

young bulls we currently have available please speak to your <strong>Genus</strong> ABS representative or look at our<br />

<strong>website</strong> www.genusbreeding.co.uk.<br />

Using genomic evaluated bulls...<br />

Farmers are advised to carefully consider the reliability of the index and establish whether a bull has<br />

milking daughters. Genomic indexes have reliabilities somewhere between 55 to 65%. When more<br />

information goes into the calculation of the genomic index and when the heritability of the trait is high, the<br />

reliability will be higher. The lower the reliability of the index, the greater the chance the index will change.<br />

What proportion of genomic bulls should be used in my herd<br />

Any low reliability bull should be used with caution. It depends on how<br />

much risk you like to take, you may prefer the security of using only<br />

second crop, high reliability bulls (highlighted between pages 3 and 9<br />

of this Directory). Genomics needs to be used as part of a considered<br />

breeding programme. At <strong>Genus</strong> ABS we recommend you use a team<br />

of bulls to spread the risk using genomic young sires.<br />

The graph opposite from DairyCo gives a rough guide to the recommended<br />

usage of semen from individual bulls at different levels of reliability.<br />

In practice this means that no more than 12.5% should be bred to a<br />

genomically evaluated young bull. It is best to use a mix of<br />

daughter-proven and young genomically evaluated bulls to obtain<br />

a balance between risk and reward.<br />

Please speak to a <strong>Genus</strong> ABS Breeding advisors for more information<br />

and advice.<br />

PTA2010<br />

(Predicted<br />

Transmitting Ability)<br />

The PTA is the predicted<br />

level of production, above<br />

or below the base, which<br />

the animal is capable of<br />

passing on to its offspring.<br />

PIN2012<br />

(Profit Index)<br />

PIN is a measure of<br />

the efficiency of milk<br />

production calculated from<br />

genetic indices. Expressed<br />

as a financial value, PIN<br />

predicts additional margin<br />

over feed, which a bull is<br />

expected to pass onto it’s<br />

progeny.<br />

Dos and don’ts of genomic indexes<br />

Do...<br />

• Carefully study the bull’s index, just as though<br />

he were a conventionally tested sire.<br />

• Remember that the lower the reliability of the<br />

index, the greater the chance the index will<br />

change.<br />

• Ask your AI company to show you how many<br />

daughters the bull has and in how many herds.<br />

• Use a mix of daughter-proven and young<br />

genomically evaluated bulls to obtain a balance<br />

between risk and reward.<br />

Don’t...<br />

• Over-estimate the reliability of genomic indexes<br />

which will be lower than those of most progeny<br />

tested bulls.<br />

• Over-use any young, low reliability bull with or<br />

without a genomic index.<br />

And remember...<br />

• There’s nothing mystical about genomic<br />

evaluations in themselves. A young bull<br />

marketed as a ‘genomic young sire’, may be not<br />

better or worse than any other bull<br />

Lifespan<br />

A direct measure of how<br />

long cows are lasting in<br />

the herd. Each decimal<br />

point reflects an extra<br />

month of herd life.<br />

Linear Assessment<br />

Linear measures the difference in<br />

biological extremes in different traits,<br />

without saying which is the most<br />

desirable score. The mid point (0)<br />

represents the breed average for the<br />

population.<br />

Production daughters in herds<br />

At <strong>Genus</strong> ABS our aim is to achieve 100<br />

daughters in 60 herds early in a bulls<br />

life (Rock Solid Status). This spread of<br />

milking daughters gives us the confidence<br />

that a bulls proof will accurately reflect<br />

the results seen on farm, and not change<br />

significantly over time.<br />

PLI2012<br />

Helps farmers select<br />

the correct balance of<br />

longevity fertility, somatic<br />

cell count and production<br />

improvement (PIN).<br />

Recent research shows that<br />

for every £1 increase in a<br />

cows PLI, a £4.21 increase<br />

in margin results.
