ConclusionConclusion1 quiz
BREEDPLAN calculates EBVs for a range of economically important traits. An EBV will only be made available in a BREEDPLAN analysis once sufficient data has been recorded. As such, not all BREEDPLAN analyses have the full range of EBVs available.

Each EBV is reported in the units of measurement. For example:
- Weight EBVs are reported in kilograms
- Scrotal Size EBVs are reported in centimetres
Optional reading: Further information on each of the BREEDPLAN EBVs is available in the Using & Understanding BREEDPLAN EBVs booklet.
