Angus Sire Benchmarking Program

The Angus Sire Benchmarking Program (ASBP) is a major initiative of Angus Australia with supportfrom Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) and industry partners such as Vetoquinol, Rangers ValleyFeedlot and John Dee Abattoir.

The major objectives of the ASBP include:1. Generate progeny test data on modern Angus bulls, particularly for hard to measure traits

such as feed efficiency, abattoir carcase measurement, meat quality attributes & femalereproduction.

2. Generate data for the validation & refinement of Angus BREEDPLAN.3. Build a comprehensive phenotype and genotype database on Australian Angus for genomic

technology validation, research and development.

To meet the project objectives Angus Australia aims to join an average of 40 sires a year toapproximately 2,000 Angus cows to achieve a minimum of 25 progeny (50:50 steers and heifers)per sire using a fixed time AI program. The Angus cows are located across several commercial co-operator herds located in New South Wales and Victoria.

The Angus sires that enter the ASBP are nominated by Angus Australia members. Before enteringthe program the sires are assessed for a range of factors such as genetic diversity, geneticcondition status, BREEDPLAN EBVs and selection index values. Once the progeny are born they arecomprehensively performance recorded for calving ease, growth, temperament, heiferreproduction, structure, feed efficiency, abattoir carcase and beef quality attributes.

ASBP Progeny Performance Report

The ASBP Progeny Performance report includes two sections to assist with assessment of thegenetic merit of the ASBP sires, being:

1. BREEDPLAN Sire Listing – The first section includes the Angus BREEDPLAN EBVs andselection Indexes from the noted monthly analysis (e.g. April 2016).

For selection purposes it is strongly advised that the BREEDPLAN EBVs and selectionindexes be used primarily. They are the highest accuracy information to use in selection asthey take into account all available industry data including the data generated from theASBP. They also account for information from all known relatives and genetic correlationsbetween traits as well as being able to be compared across cohorts and the Anguspopulation.

2. ASBP Progeny Performance Listing – The second section includes progeny average valuesand rankings for a range of traits recorded within the ASBP. This listing provides anindication on how the sires are performing within the ASBP. The values listed can only bevalidly used to compare sires within each cohort of the ASBP.

Each section includes introductory notes to assist with the interpretation of the information listed.

Contact – For further questions on the ASBP contact Christian Duff, Strategic Projects Manager, AngusAustralia on phone: (02) 6773 4620, mobile: 0457 457 141 or email: [email protected]

Further information on the ASBP is listed on the Angus Australia website www.angusaustralia.com.au

UNDERSTANDING THE ASBP SIRE LISTING – BREEDPLAN EBVs and SELECTION INDEXES

The following BREEDPLAN Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) and selection Indexes are listed in this report. For further information visit www.angusaustralia.com.au

BREEDPLAN EBVs:CE Dir: Calving Ease Direct (%) EBVs are genetic differences in the ability of calves to be bornunassisted from two year old heifers. Higher EBVs indicate greater calving ease.CE Dtrs: Calving Ease Daughters (%) EBVs are genetic differences in the ability of an animal’sdaughters to calve unassisted as two year old heifers. Higher EBVs indicate greater calvingease.GL: Gestation Length (days) EBVs are genetic differences in the length of time from the date ofconception to the calf birth date. Lower EBVs indicate shorter gestation length.Bwt: Birth Weight (kg) EBVs are genetic differences in calf weight at birth. Lower EBVs indicatelighter birth weight.200: 200 Day Growth (kg) EBVs are genetic differences in live weight at 200 days of age due togenetics for growth. Higher EBVs indicate heavier live weight.400: 400 Day Weight (kg) EBVs are genetic differences in live weight at 400 days of age. HigherEBVs indicate heavier live weight.600: 600 Day Weight (kg) EBVs are genetic differences in live weight at 600 days of age. HigherEBVs indicate heavier live weight.Mwt: Mature Cow Weight (kg) EBVs are genetic differences in mature weight at 5 years of age.Higher EBVs indicate heavier mature weight.Milk: Milk (kg) EBVs are genetic differences in live weight at 200 days of age due to thematernal contribution of the dam. Higher EBVs indicate heavier live weight.SS: Scrotal Size (cm) EBVs are genetic differences in scrotal circumference at 400 days of age.Higher EBVs indicate larger scrotal size.DC: Days to Calving (days) EBVs are genetic differences in the length of time from the start ofthe joining period until subsequent calving. Lower EBVs indicate less time to calving.Cwt: Carcase Weight (kg) EBVs are genetic differences in dressed carcase weight at 750 days ofage .Higher EBVs indicate heavier carcase weight.EMA: Eye Muscle Area (cm2) EBVs are genetic differences in eye muscle area at the 12/13thrib site in a 400 kg carcase. Higher EBVs indicate larger eye muscleRib: Rib Fat (mm) EBVs are genetic differences in fat depth at the 12/13th rib site in a 400 kgcarcase. Higher EBVs indicate more fat.

Selection Indexes:ABI: The Angus Breeding Index estimates the genetic differences between animals in netprofitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls.DOM: The Domestic Index estimates the genetic differences between animals in netprofitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting the domesticsupermarket trade.GRN: The Heavy Grain Index estimates the genetic differences between animals in netprofitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting pasture grown steerswith a 200 day feedlot finishing period for the grain fed high quality, highly marbled markets.GRS: The Heavy Grass Index estimates the genetic differences between animals in netprofitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd targeting pasture finishedsteers

P8: Rump Fat (mm) EBVs are genetic differences in fat depth at the P8 site in a 400 kg carcase.Higher EBVs indicate more fat.RBY: Retail Beef Yield (%) EBVs are genetic differences in saleable meat from a 400 kg carcase.Higher EBVs indicate higher yield.IMF: Intramuscular Fat (%) EBVs are genetic differences in intramuscular fat at the 12/13th ribsite in a 400 kg carcase. Higher EBVs indicate more intramuscular fat.NFI-p: NFI-p (kg/day) EBVs are genetic differences in feed intake at a standard weight and rateof weight gain when animals are in a post-weaning growing phase. Lower EBVs indicate lessfeed intake and greater feed efficiencyNFI-f: NFI-f (kg/day) EBVs are genetic differences in feed intake at a standard weight and rateof weight gain when animals are in a feedlot finishing phase. Lower EBVs indicate less feedintake and greater feed efficiencyDocil: Docility (%) EBVs are genetic differences in the proportion of an animal’s progeny thatwill have acceptable temperament. Higher EBVs indicate better temperament.

UNDERSTANDING THE ASBP SIRE LISTING - PROGENY PERFORMANCE

This listing provides an indication on how the sires are performing within the ASBP. The values listed canonly be validly used to compare sires within each cohort of the ASBP.

For selection purposes it is strongly advised that the BREEDPLAN EBVs and selection indexes listed insection 1 of the report be used primarily. They are the highest accuracy information to use in selection asthey take into account all available industry data including the data generated from the ASBP. They alsoaccount for information from all known relatives and genetic correlations between traits as well as beingable to be compared across cohorts and the Angus population.

Interpreting the ASBP Progeny Performance Listing

Number of progeny = Number of progeny the sire has recorded for the specified trait. This excludes anyprogeny in single animal contemporary groups.

Progeny Average = The average performance of this sires progeny for the specified trait in the ASBP. Theaverage is calculated using adjusted data (i.e. the standard BREEDPLAN adjustments for the age of theprogeny and age of the dams). It is calculated using a least squares means (LSM) model which takes intoherd and contemporary group.

Rank = The ranking position of the sire within the specified cohort. The ranking order will depend on thetrait. E.g. 200 Day weight ranked in descending order, while birth weight is ranked in ascending order.

The lists are sorted on sire name for the specified cohort.

The date the progeny performance values were produced is listed in the bottom left hand margin of thereport. The reports will be regularly updated as further ASBP data is recorded and analysed.

Progeny Performance Traits and Interpretation

Separate sections for the following traits are included in the ASBP Progeny Performance listing:

Birth Weight: Weight of birth in kilograms recorded on both steer and heifer progeny. Sires are ranked inascending order with lower values indicating lighter birth weight.

Gestation Length: Length of gestation in days recorded on both steer and heifer progeny. Sires are ranked inascending order with lower values indicating shorter gestation length.

200 Day Weight: Weight at 200 days (i.e. weaning weight) in kilograms recorded on both steer and heiferprogeny. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating more weight.

400 Day Weight: Weight at 400 days (i.e. yearling weight) in kilograms recorded on both steer and heiferprogeny Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating more weight.

600 Day Weight: Weight at 600 days (i.e. 18 month weight) in kilograms recorded on both steer and heiferprogeny. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating more weight.

Days to Calving: Length of days from bull introduction (i.e. bull in date) to calving. This is recorded on the heiferprogeny for their first joining as yearlings. Sires are ranked in ascending order with lower values indicatingshorter days to calving and improved female reproduction.

Scan Eye Muscle Area (EMA): Eye muscle area in cm2 from ultrasound scanning both steer and heifer progeny ata standard 500 days of age. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating larger eye musclearea.

Scan Rib Fat: Rib fat in mm from ultrasound scanning both steer and heifer progeny at a standard 500 days ofage. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating more fat over the ribs.

Scan Rump Fat: Rump (i.e. P8) fat in mm from ultrasound scanning both steer and heifer progeny at a standard500 days of age. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating more fat over the rump.

Scan Intramuscular Fat (IMF): Percentage of Intramuscular fat from ultrasound scanning both steer and heiferprogeny at a standard 500 days of age. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating moreintramuscular fat.

Carcase Weight: Weight of the hot standard carcase in kilograms at a standard 750 days of age recorded onsteer progeny. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating more carcase weight.

Carcase Eye Muscle Area (EMA): Eye muscle area in cm2 in a standard 400 kg carcase measured on steerprogeny. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating larger eye muscle area.

Carcase Rump Fat: Subcutaneous fat measurement in mm at the P8 rump site in a standard 400 kg carcasemeasured on steer progeny. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating more rump fat.

Carcase Rib Fat: Subcutaneous fat measurement in mm at the 12th and 13th Rib site in a standard 400 kg carcasemeasured on steer progeny. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating more rib fat.

Carcase Intramuscular Fat (IMF): Percentage of Intramuscular fat (by near infrared spectrophotometry – NIR atthe UNE meat science laboratory) in a standard 400 kg carcase measured on steer progeny. Sires are ranked indescending order with higher values indicating more intramuscular fat.

Net Feed Intake (NFI): Feed intake at a standard weight and rate of weight gain recorded on steer progeny atTullimba Research Feedlot. NFI is expressed as kilograms of feed intake per day. Sires are ranked in ascendingorder with lower values indicating better feed efficiency through less feed intake for a standard weight and rateof gain.

Meat Standards Australia (MSA) Marbling Score: Marbling score recorded by the Meat Standards Australia(MSA) grader in the chiller on steer progeny. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicatingmore marbling in the carcase.

Meat Standards Australia (MSA) Ossification: Ossification score recorded by the Meat Standards Australia(MSA) grader in the chiller on steer progeny. Sires are ranked in ascending order with lower values indicatingyounger physiological maturity.

Meat Standards Australia (MSA) Index: The MSA Index is an indication of the overall eating quality of beef fromthe carcase as influenced by a range of factors such as marbling score and ossification. It is generated for steerprogeny from the ASBP based on MSA grading data in the chiller. Sires are ranked in ascending order with highervalues indicating higher eating quality.

Shear Force: Shear Force is a measurement in the kilograms of the force required to pull a mechanical bladethrough a piece of cooked beef from the striploin sample of the ASBP steer progeny. It is measured through theUNE meat science laboratory. Sires are ranked in ascending order with lower values indicating less shear forceand more tender beef.
