UNDERSTANDING THE INDEX
Example:
CRV STANDS FOR HEALTHY AND EFFICIENT COWS
To show the effect of selection of Better Life Health and Efficiency on actual New Zealand cow performance we conducted analysis on InSight herd data. Performance records were taken from 302,600 cows herd tested by CRV Ambreed and born after 2010.
The performance of the best 25% for Better Life Health and Efficiency was compared to the lowest 25%, by breed. The results show that a remarkable difference exists between these groups of cows, proving that big improvements in herd performance can be achieved by selecting cows and bulls for Better Life Health and Better Life Efficiency. These results were consistent across breeds.
PRACTICAL RESULTS OF A STUDY INTO BETTER LIFE HEALTH AND BETTER LIFE EFFICIENCY
Results of breed analysis of the best 25% compared to the lowest 25%
BETTER LIFE HEALTH• 50% less somatic cells
• Better fertility across all traits
• 20% more cows reach 5th lactation
BETTER LIFE EFFICIENCY• 20% more milk solids
• 20% more cows reach 5th lactation

The New Zealand Merit Index (NZMI) has been developed to enable New Zealand dairy farmers to breed a long-lasting, productive herd. NZMI is a desired gains index with a future focus on the genetic direction of your herd.
The NZMI breeding philosophy is focused on breeding a cow that will typically produce an average of 450kg of milk solids each year and last for 5.5 lactations.
The difference between NZMI and BW is emphasis placed on the overall opinion and selected type traits, that are strongly connected to long-lasting and productive animals.
The graphics below illustrate the difference between selecting solely on NZMI or solely on BW, and the expected response in your herd over a 10-year period.
These responses show that typically in the longterm NZMI: • Creates greater genetic gain on protein production while
maintaining the size of Holsteins • Places focus on the sustainability and efficiency of your
herd • Improves shed traits, capacity and udders.
ACROSS ALL BREED EVALUATIONThe New Zealand bull data in this catalogue is displayed across all breeds (unless stated). This is in line with how data is displayed in New Zealand by NZAEL. WHY ACROSS ALL BREED?Many grazing customers now select genetics from multiple breeds for their breeding program. It is therefore important for the farmer to understand how the animal should perform within his herd, not just within the breed of the herd. Therefore, we believe that an across breed evaluation is now the best tool to help you make breeding choices geared toward making your herd the most profitable it can be. What you will now observe is Jersey BVs for milk volume, live weight and stature will now appear lower, while fertility percentage will have increased. The opposite will apply for Holstein Friesians.For selection within the breed we suggest you compare the individual BV’s against the Breed Average (BA) especially for the before mentioned traits.

S The New Zealand Animal Evaluation Limited (NZAEL) calculates all breeding values and BW for sires. The following is an overview of different breeding values and what the data means for the herd you are breeding.
BREEDING INDICATORS
This is the CRV Ambreed desired gains index. It aims to breed a productive, long lasting cow that will typically produce about 450 kg MS a year by balancing production, management and type traits. See page 5 for more information.
LOW HIGH30050
NZMI
Economic index that ranks bulls and cows on their expected ability to breed profitable and efficient replacements.
LOW HIGH25050
BW
The total longevity breeding value is defined as the expected genetic merit of a cow to live for more (or fewer) days of herd life relative to the genetic base cows.
LOW HIGH4000
TOTAL LONGEVITY
The estimated live weight of the animal. This is usually one score lower than stature, and will likewise vary considerably between breeds.
LOW HIGH80-50
LIVE WEIGHT
The CRV Ambreed index known as Better Life Health helps you select animals that will have more or less incidences of health problems throughout their lifetime. See page 7 for more information.
LOW HIGH80
% HEALTH
The CRV Ambreed index known as Better Life Efficiency helps you select animals that will more or less efficient at converting energy to production over the course of their lifetime. See page 6 for more information.
LOW HIGH80
% EFFICIENCY
PRODUCTION
This trait measures the expected volume of milk produced by the individual and is of interest due to transport costs associated with moving milk from farms to processing plants around the country. This is why milk is valued negatively in both NZMI & BW.
LOW HIGH1200-400
MILK (L)
Milk protein is a component of the milk produced by cows and is the most valued output (by processors) from NZ dairy farms. It is also the single most important trait for both NZMI & BW.
LOW HIGH400
PROTEIN (KG)
Milk fat is the other component of milk which is paid for by milk processors in NZ and is used in producing lower value commodities such as butter.
LOW HIGH400
FAT
NZMI CONSISTS OF:
Production (43%): protein BV (kg), milk BV (l).
Management (36%): live weight BV (kg), fertility BV (%), somatic cells BV, res. survival BV (days), calving difficulty BV (%), overall opinion (BV)
Type (21%): capacity (BV), rump angle (BV), udder overall (BV).

MANAGEMENT & HEALTH
The objective for herd reproductive performance in most New Zealand herds is to achieve high pregnancy rates in a short time period following the planned start of mating, and to maintain calving intervals very close to 365 days.
LOW HIGH4-3
FERTILITY
Body condition score is commonly used as a method to assess body energy reserves.
SHARP COVERED0.25-0.1
BODY CONDITION SCORE (BCS)
Good udder health is typically reflected in low levels of somatic cell counts in milk.
DESIRABLE UNDESIRABLE0.2-0.2
SOMATIC CELLS SCORE (SCS)
Although the calving difficulty BV is expressed in terms of assisted births in first-calving heifers, the BV can also be used to identify bulls that are expected to increase rates of assisted calving for cows carrying the bull’s calves.
EASY DIFFICULT4-3
CALVING DIFFICULTY
The number of days shorter or longer than the average gestation period of a dairy cow. Use this strategically to tighten your calving pattern.
SHORTER LONGER3-5
GESTATION LENGTH
Residual survival is defined as ‘herd-life after accounting for the genetic effects of production, live weight, milk, somatic cells and fertility on herd-life’.

RESIDUAL SURVIVAL
SHED TRAITS
A description of how soon the animal settled into the milking routine after calving specifically taking into account how many milkings before let down was spontaneous and completed without extra attention.
⊳ SLOWLY QUICKLY ⊲
ADAPTABILITY TO MILKING
Measures the temperament of the animal in the shed while being handled and milked. It is a different trait to adaptability to milking as it is assessed once an animal has settled into the milking routine.
⊳ GRUMPY LOVELY ⊲
SHED TEMPERAMENT
The length of time from putting on the cups to when the milk flow stops or cups are taken off. Those cows that have nice silky udders (in contrast to meaty, lumpy udders) tend to, nine out of ten times, be quicker milkers.
⊳ SLOW FAST ⊲
MILKING SPEED
A farmers overall acceptance of the animal as a herd member.
⊳ POOR WELL-LIKED ⊲
OVERALL OPINION
CONFORMATION
The height at the shoulder of the animal. This trait is measured across all breeds, resulting in all Jerseys being negative on the breeding values bar graph, Ayrshires being intermediate and Friesians being mainly positive.
⊳ SHORT TALL ⊲
STATURE
Combination of strength and depth of chest and body as viewed from side, rear and front in relation to the physical size of the cow. This is an important trait and reflects an animals ability to convert feed into milk and withstand the rigours of life.
⊳ FRAIL CAPACIOUS ⊲
CAPACITY
Distance between the most posterior point of the pin bones relative to the size of the animal. This trait is a good predictor of the width a cow has throughout her body.
⊳ NARROW WIDE ⊲
RUMP WIDTH
Describes the angle between the centre of the hip and the top of the pin bone. A low score indicates the cow has high pins and a high score indicates low pins. A score of 5-6 describes a flat rump to slightly sloping which is optimal.
⊳ HIGH SLOPING ⊲
RUMP ANGLE
Measures the angulation or ‘set’ of the rear legs and is measured from an imaginary line between thurls and mid-hoof while the cow is walking. A low score indicates a straight leg, whilst a high score indicates a sickled or curved leg set. A score close to 5-6 is considered ideal.
⊳ STRAIGHT CURVED ⊲
LEGS
This trait describes the strength of the suspensory ligament as viewed from the rear. It also includes the udder depth relative to the hocks . Udder support is a very important trait in determining the number of lactations a cow’s udder will survive.
⊳ WEAK STRONG ⊲
UDDER SUPPORT
Measures the strength of attachment of the fore udder to the body wall.
⊳ LOOSE STRONG ⊲
FRONT UDDER
Describes the height and width of the rear udder attachment as distinct from udder support.
⊳ LOOSE STRONG ⊲
REAR UDDER
The inspector gives an overall score of the udder including any other udder traits not measured before. Udder overall score can be used to simply compare the overall udder standard of bull daughters.
⊳ UNDESIRABLE DESIRABLE ⊲
UDDER OVERALL
An overall conformation score combining all traits except udder traits. Dairy conformation is a useful trait for simply comparing animals for dairy type.
⊳ UNDESIRABLE DESIRABLE ⊲
DAIRY CONFORMATION
The placement of the rear teats (at the point of attachment to the udder) relative to the centre of the quarters. A low score indicates wide rear teats whilst a high score is close and 5 is central.
⊳ WIDE CLOSE ⊲
REAR TEAT
The placement of the front teats (at the point of attachment to the udder) relative to the centre of the quarters. A low score indicates wide front teats whilst a high score indicates close front teats.
⊳ WIDE CLOSE ⊲
FRONT TEAT
