BREEDPLAN Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) are the most accurate way to predict the genetic merit of an animal. Using information provided by seedstock producers, the BREEDPLAN analytical software produces EBVs that predict the genetic merit of beef cattle for a range of economically important traits. BREEDPLAN is the world’s most widely used genetic evaluation service for beef cattle.
This module introduces the BREEDPLAN genetic evaluation and outlines how BREEDPLAN EBVs are calculated.
