StockTake uses existing data, recorded by each breed on their NBRS databases, to compute descriptive statistics for the breed that are used to describe and monitor changes in the basic “genetic” structure of the breed. Secondly, stepwise regression is used to determine key variables that explain differences in the rate of genetic progress, for a given period, across herds within a breed. Herds are rated for their performance in these variables to provide a benchmark of their breeding program against the average of other herds recorded in the breed. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | AAABG 2005: 16th Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Noosa Lakes, Australia, 25th - 28th September, 2005 | Source of Publication: | Proceedings of the Association for the Advancement of Animal Breeding and Genetics, v.16, p. 161-164 | Place of Publication: | Collingwood, Australia | ISSN: | 1328-3227 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 070201 Animal Breeding | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 830301 Beef Cattle | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.aaabg.org/livestocklibrary/2005/161johnston.pdf http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/13321110 |
