Comparing BREEDPLAN EBVs
Meat & Livestock Australia March 22, 2024
Only EBVs produced in the same BREEDPLAN analysis can be directly compared. For example, EBVs from the Australian Brahman BREEDPLAN analysis can be compared. However, EBVs from the Australian Brahman BREEDPLAN analysis are not comparable to EBVs from the Australian Charolais BREEDPLAN analysis.
Each BREEDPLAN analysis is run regularly throughout the year. For example, many Australian breeds have a monthly BREEDPLAN analysis. EBVs produced at different times (e.g. April vs May) should not be compared.
