Predicted Transmitting Ability (PTA) Milk, Fat & Protein – Predicts the average production of the sire’s future daughters above or below the breed genetic base for Milk lbs, Fat lbs & Protein lbs per lactation.

Somatic Cell Count (SCS) – Measures a bull’s milking daughter’s susceptibility to mastitis. The USA herd average is set to 3.00 (as zero) with lower proof values indicating lower somatic cell count.

Longevity (Productive Life) – A score used to identify the productive months of life a cow will have compared to herd mates. A PL of 1.0 equates to one additional month of production in the herd. PL gives the greatest weight to the first 305 days (10 months) of lactation, as cows are most profitable and productive in early lactation.

Calving Ease (SCE) – This is the estimate of the Percentage of Difficult Births in Heifers (DBH) when they calve the first time. The average for the Holstein breed is 2.2%

Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR) – Measures the cow’s ability to begin cycling, show estrus, conceive and maintain pregnancy and is highly correlated with PL. A DPR of 1.0 equates to a 1% increase in pregnancy rate during a given 21 day estrus cycle. Every 1.0 PTA increase in DPR indicates 4 fewer days open.

Sire Conception Rate (SCR) – This is not a genetic trait, but measures the fertility of the bull. An SCR of 1.0 indicates a 1% increase in conception rate when compared to average.

Gestation Length (GL) – Expressed as the number of days greater than or less than the average gestation length for the breed. The typical range is +/-5 days. In general, gestation length has decreased over time for breeds that have selected for lower calving ease (i.e. Holstein), as calving ease and gestation length are highly correlated. Gestation Length is available for all dairy breeds. US is 5 days shorter than NZ average (277 US, 282 days NZ).

Milking Speed – Canadian Breeding Value that expresses the expected milking speed for a bull’s daughters when compared to the average milking speed for the population. 100 is standardized to the average of the population and breed, with numbers above 100 indicating faster than average milking speeds.

Feed Saved – Indicates the expected reduction of consumed feed per lactation based on evaluations for residual feed intake and body weight composite. Measured in pounds of dry matter intake.

Wellness (WT$): Places economic weights on wellness traits, directly estimating potential profit contribution of these traits for an individual animal. This multi-trait selection index focuses solely on wellness traits with unique formulas used for Holsteins and Jerseys for Mastitis, Lameness, Metritis, Retained Placenta, Displaced Abomasum, Ketosis and Cow Respiratory.

Body Conditon Score – Canadian Breeding Value that expresses the expected body condition score for a bull’s daughters when compared to the average body condition for the population. 100 is standardized to the average of the population and breed, with numbers above 100 indicating higher than average body condition.

PTAT – PTA Type or conformation improvement expected from a bull’s daughters compared to contemporaries.

UDC – Udder Composite Index (Holstein) = Udder Depth 0.20, Fore Udder 0.16, Rear Udder Height 0.23, Rear Udder Width 0.19, Udder Cleft 0.08, Front Teat Placement 0.04, Rear Teat Placement 0.05, Teat Length 0.05, Stature -0.20.
