NAV Genomic Evaluation and NAV Beef Evaluation

The latest NAV routine genomic evaluation took place as scheduled. NAV carried out genomic prediction for Holstein, RDC and Jersey. Genomic breeding values of bulls are updated to NAV Bull Search after each evaluation.

NAV has also released breeding values for purebred beef bulls and cows. Beef breeding values are updated to NAV Beef Search.

NAV has also released breeding values for purebred beef bulls and cows. Beef breeding values are updated to NAV Beef Search. It is now possible to search for live animals in NAV Beef search. When this additional search parameter is selected, search result includes only animals which were alive when data was extracted for the latest breeding value evaluation.

NAV Beef evaluation

NAV has released breeding values for purebred beef bulls and cows. Beef breeding values are updated to NAV Beef Search.

In this evaluation genomic breeding values for weight/growth and carcass traits were published for the five main breeds (Aberdeen Angus, Charolais, Hereford, Limousin, Simmental). For other traits and breeds, breeding values are based on phenotypic information.

In NAV Beef Search it is possible to search after genomic proven animals, and the genomic status is also shown on animal’s own page whether the animal is genomic proven or not.
