2 ADSA Indianapolis 2001 (2)R. L. Powell 2001 R. L. Powell 2001 Multiple Rankings for Bulls Multiple Rankings for Bulls Holstein International 2001

3 ADSA Indianapolis 2001 (3)R. L. Powell 2001 R. L. Powell 2001 Objective Examine procedures for combining Interbull country evaluations into a common global evaluation Develop base knowledge for next step (sub-global)

4 ADSA Indianapolis 2001 (4)R. L. Powell 2001 R. L. Powell 2001 Data  May 2001 Interbull evaluations  27 Holstein population scales  65,472 bulls with protein data  24 million daughters

5 ADSA Indianapolis 2001 (5)R. L. Powell 2001 R. L. Powell 2001 Numbers of Daughters by Country and Proportion of Global Total CountryDaughtersProportion United States 4,148,875.17 Germany 3,635,369.15 France 2,940,220.12 New Zealand2,523,259.11 Netherlands2,213,830.09 Canada1,122,599.05 Great Britain1,113,042.05 Australia1,083,235.05 Others5,025,596.21 Total23,806,025 1.00

6 ADSA Indianapolis 2001 (6)R. L. Powell 2001 R. L. Powell 2001 Methods  Evaluations standardized (x-mn)/sd  Global as bull mean, weighted by  Population size  Unweighted  Inverse of population size  Impact on top 100 determined

9 ADSA Indianapolis 2001 (9)R. L. Powell 2001 R. L. Powell 2001 Conclusions  Global evaluations highly correlated with national evaluations  Variation between national and global top 100 lists related to mean genetic correlation  Global evaluations robust to weighting procedures (r ~ 1.0)
