COMMISSION DECISION
of 10 May 1990
laying down methods for monitoring performance and assessing the genetic value of pure-bred breeding sheep and goats
(90/256/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Directive 89/361/EEC of 30 May 1989 concerning pure-bred breeding sheep and goats (1), and in particular the third indent of Article 4 thereof,
Whereas the methods for monitoring the performance and assessing the genetic value of pure-bred breeding sheep and goats already applied in the Member States are broadly similar;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to align the detailed rules on these methods more closely so that the results are comparable;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Zootechnics,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The performance monitoring methods and the methods for assessing the genetic value of pure-bred breeding sheep and goats shall be as laid down in the Annex hereto.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 10 May 1990.
For the Commission
Ray MAC SHARRY
Member of the Commission
ANNEX
The genetic merit of pure-bred breeding sheep and goats may be calculated using one or a combination of the following methods. All the data accruing from the test results must be accessible to the competent authority. The final results must be accessible.
-
I.Performance testing
-
1.Performance testing on a station
(a) |
The name of the body or of the authority responsible for the station and the name of the authority responsible for the calculation and publication of the results are to be given. |
(b) |
The design of the test is to be stated. |
(c) |
The following items are to be clearly stated:
|
(d) |
The traits recorded (for example live weight, feed conversion, estimator of the body composition, milk production, milk composition, quality of the wool production or any other relevant data) shall be stated. |
(e) |
The method used for estimating genetic merit must be scientifically acceptable according to established zootechnical principles. The genetic merit of tested breeding animal must be stated as a breeding value or contemporary comparison for each trait. |
-
2.Performance testing on a farm
A performance test may be carried out on a farm providing that at the end of the test the genetic merit can be calculated following established zootechnical principles.
II. Milk recording and assessment of the genetic merit of females for milk traits
1. |
The name of the body or of the authority responsible for the testing and the name of the authority responsible for the calculation and publication of the results are to be given. |
2. |
The design to the test is to be stated. |
3. |
The traits recorded in conformity with the norms laid down by the International Committee for recording roductivity of milk animals (for example milk production, milk composition or any other relevant data) shall be stated. |
4. |
Milk records used in the determination of the genetic merit of females must:
