Summary
During the term of the project AGBU performed more than 1,450 fortnightly genetic evaluations to produce EBVs for LAMBPLAN for terminal and maternal sheep breeds and other species serviced by LAMBPLAN and for MERINOSELECT for the Merino breed. The capabilities of OVIS and the functionality of the run control infrastructure were enhanced and the numbers of routine analyses were increased. Successful international collaborations have been achieved to routinely produce EBVs for National Sheep Improvement Program in the United States. AGBU also provided support for MLA staff and breeders with respect to; diagnostic reports, data files, EBV query reports, parameter files, EBV information and analysis information.
