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 Trans-Tasman Angus Cattle Evaluation.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 to approximately 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 entering the program the sires are assessed for a range of factors such as genetic diversity, genetic condition status, EBVs and selection index values. Once the progeny are born they are comprehensively performance recorded for calving ease, growth, temperament, heifer reproduction, 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 the genetic merit of the ASBP sires, being:

1. Trans-Tasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE) Sire Listing – The first section includes the Angus EBVs and Selection Indexes from the noted monthly analysis.For selection purposes it is strongly advised that the EBVs and selection indexes be used primarily. They are the highest accuracy information to use in selection as they take into account all available industry data including the data generated from the ASBP. They also account for information from all known relatives and genetic correlations between traits as well as being able to be compared across cohorts and the Angus population.

2. ASBP Progeny Performance Listing – The second section includes progeny average values and rankings for a range of traits recorded within the ASBP. This listing provides an indication on how the sire's are performing within the ASBP. The values listed can only be validly 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 - PROGENY PERFORMANCE

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

For selection purposes it is strongly advised that the EBVs and selection indexes listed in section 1 of the report be used primarily. They are the highest accuracy information to use in selection as they take into account all available industry data including the data generated from the ASBP. They also account for information from all known relatives and genetic correlations between traits as well as being able 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 any progeny in single animal contemporary groups.

Progeny Average = The average performance of this sire's progeny for the specified trait in the ASBP. The average is calculated using adjusted data (i.e. the standard adjustments for the age of the progeny and age of the dams). It is calculated using a least squares means (LSM) model which takes into account herd and contemporary group.

Rank = The ranking position of the sire within the specified cohort. The ranking order will depend on the trait. 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 the report. 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 in ascending 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 in ascending 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 heifer progeny. 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 heifer progeny. 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 heifer progeny. 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 heifer progeny for their first joining as yearlings. Sires are ranked in ascending order with lower values indicating shorter 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 at a standard 500 days of age. Sires are ranked in descending order with higher values indicating larger eye muscle area.

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

Carcase Weight: Weight of the hot standard carcase in kilograms at a standard 750 days of age recorded on steer 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 steer progeny. 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 carcase measured 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 carcase measured 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 or NIR at the UNE meat science laboratory) in a standard 400 kg carcase measured on steer progeny. Sires are ranked in descending 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 at Tullimba Research Feedlot. NFI is expressed as kilograms of feed intake per day. Sires are ranked in ascending order with lower values indicating better feed efficiency through less feed intake for a standard weight and rate of 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 indicating more 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 indicating younger physiological maturity.

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

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

UNDERSTANDING THE ASBP SIRE LISTING ‐ PROGENY PERFORMANCE II CATEGORICAL TRAITS

This listing provides an indication on how the sires are performing for several categorical (i.e. scored) traits within the ASBP, through their progeny.

For selection purposes it is strongly advised that the TACE EBVs and selection indexes listed in section 1 of the report be used primarily. They are the highest accuracy information to use in selection as they take into account all available industry data including the data generated from the ASBP. They also account for information from all known relatives and genetic correlations between traits as well as being able 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 within the ASBP for the specified trait.

Progeny % = The percentage of ASBP progeny displaying the desirable score for the specified trait. The scores deemed ideal are listed in traits section below.

Rank = The ranking position (descending order) of the sire within the specified cohort.

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 the report. The reports will be regularly updated as further ASBP data is recorded and analysed.

Progeny Performance Categorical Traits and Interpretation Separate sections for the following traits are included in the ASBP Progeny Performance listing:

Docility: Percentage of progeny displaying a crush docility score, taken at weaning, of 1 or 1.5 (out of 5). Higher Progeny % values indicate a higher percentage of progeny with desirable temperament.

Claw Set: Percentage of progeny displaying a front feet claw set score, taken around 12 to 18 months of age, of 5 or 6 (out of the 1 to 9 scoring range). Higher Progeny % values indicate a higher percentage of progeny with desirable structure for front foot claw set.

Foot Angle: Percentage of progeny displaying a front feet angle score, taken around 12 to 18 months or age, of 5 or 6 (out of the 1 to 9 scoring range). Higher Progeny % values indicate a higher percentage of progeny with desirable structure for front feet angle.

Coat Type: Percentage of progeny displaying a coat type score, taken around 12 to 18 months or age, of 1, 1.5 or 2 (out of 7). Higher Progeny % values indicate a higher percentage of slick coated progeny.

UNDERSTANDING THE ASBP SIRE LISTING - PROGENY PERFORMANCE SUMMARY TABLE

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

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

Interpreting the ASBP Progeny Performance Summary Table

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

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

For easy interpretation colour coding has been applied to the ranking being: Rank 1 to 5 (dark green with white text). E.g.

Rank 6 to 10 (light green with black text). E.g.

The definition of the traits are detailed in the previous section of this report titled “Understanding the ASBP Progeny Performance Listing”

The table is 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 the report. The reports will be regularly updated as further ASBP data is recorded and analysed.
