1 SA Stud Book SA Stud Book Annual Report Annual Report

2 Introduction Information has been obtained from Logix as on 01/03/2017. 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.. 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. 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.

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 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.
