1 SA Stud Book Annual Report 2015

2 Introduction Information has been obtained from Logix as on 03/01/2016. SA Stud Book serves a variety of species and breed societies within these species, including beef and dairy cattle, small stock, pigs, horses, ostriches, game and dogs, of which most of presented in this report. SA Stud Book is a registered registering organisation aiding farmers with animal registration, recording, general consultations, on-farm technical advice and genetic evaluations. This report includes only registered stud animals. Birth Weight, Pre-wean Weight, Weaning Weight, Post-wean Weight, 12 Month Weight, Mature Weight,18 Month Weight, Cow Weight at Calving and Cow Weight at Weaning of Calf are measured on the farm by the farmer himself. The number of animals born, Age at First Calving/Lambing and Inter-calving Period/Interlambing Period are calculated by the Logix system based on birth notifications received from farmers. The environment in which these traits are measured therefore varies between herds. Environmental factors include veld type, climate, management practices, terrain and available feed. Traits such as Height, Length, Skin Thickness, Scrotal Circumference, Final Weight and Real-Time Ultrasound (RTU) measurements are taken by the technical advisor allocated to a particular area at the end of the on-farm testing. In 2015, 16 beef breeds took part in on-farm testing, of which one breed tested both male and female animals. Wool data are recorded on the farm during shearing as well as the wool test station. Only 3 breeds record wool and shearing information. Centralised testing takes place at various centralised testing centres located through-out the country. The animals are individually fed a standardised ration and are compared within the same environment. There is an adaptation period of 28 days, followed by a test length of 84 days. Body weights and feed intake are measured regularly, and Height, Length, Skin Thickness, Scrotal Circumference, Final Weight and RTU measurements are taken at the end of the test. Individual feed intake measurements allow for the calculation of feed conversion ratio (FCR), a measure of feed efficiency. In 2015, 14 beef breeds took part in centralised testing. Percentages and average values may be misleading when there are few herds or animals and is not necessarily a true representation of the breed. For example, a participation percentage of 80 on a breed with 1000 is a good representation of the breed, as this includes 800 herds, but on a breed with 5 herds it is not, as this only includes 4 herds. Be careful when comparing the performance of breeds with each other. The values presented here are dependent on genetic merit and environmental factors, and the breeding objectives may differ between breeds. Pie charts are presented for herds and animals registered at SA Stud Book and/or participating in Logix systems in Content: Table 1: Number of herds and animals registered and participating in Logix beef as on 03/01/2016 Pie chart 1: Herds participating in Logix Beef in 2015 Pie chart 2: participating in Logix Beef in 2015 Table 2: Number of bulls with weight measurements and the average value per breed as on Logix beef on 03/01/2016 Table 3: Number of cows/heifers with weight and fertility measurements and the average value per breed as on Logix beef on 03/01/2016 Table 4: Central testing results (only bulls) as on Logix beef on 03/01/2016 Table 5: On-farm testing results (only bulls) as on Logix beef on 03/01/2016 Table 6: On-farm testing results (only cows/heifers) as on Logix beef 03/01/2016 Table 7: Number of foreign herds and animals registered and participating in Logix beef as on 03/01/2016 Table 8: Number of foreign bulls with weight measurements and the average value per breed as on Logix beef on 03/01/2016 Table 9: Number of foreign cows/heifers with weight and fertility measurements and the average value per breed as on Logix beef on 03/01/2016 Table 10: On-farm testing results of foreign animals (only bulls) as on Logix beef on 03/01/2016 Table 11: Number of herds and animals registered and participating in Logix small stock as on 03/01/2016 Pie chart 3: Herds participating in Logix Small Stock in 2015 Pie chart 4: participating in Logix Small Stock in 2015 Table 12: Number of rams with weight measurements and the average value per breed as on Logix small stock on 03/01/2016 Table 13: Number of ewes/does with weight and fertility measurements and the average value per breed as on Logix small stock on 03/01/2016 Table 14: Results of wool tests of rams participating in Logix small stock as on 03/01/2016 Table 15: Results of wool tests of ewes participating in Logix small stock as on 03/01/2016 Table 16: Number of horse breeders and animals registered at SA Stud Book as on 03/01/2016 Pie chart 5: Horse breeders registered at SA Stud Book in 2015 Pie chart 6: Horses registered at SA Stud Book in 2015 Table 17: Number of game breeders and animals registered and participating in Logix game as on 03/01/2016 Table 18: Number of dog breeders and animals registered at SA Stud Book as on 03/01/2016 Pie chart 7: Game breeders registered at SA Stud Book in 2015 Pie chart 8: Game registered at SA Stud Book in 2015 Pie chart 9: Dog breeders registered at SA Stud Book in 2015 Pie chart 10: Dogs registered at SA Stud Book in 2015 rages that appear on the bottom of the tables are corrected averages total value of measurements divided by the total number of animals measured. In other words, it is not the total averages per breed divided by the number of breeds. This is to take into account that all breeds do not have the same number of animals and therefore cannot have equal contributions to the average. Weight averages for males and females are adjusted for age to take age variation into account.
