LOT 21 UNDERSTANDING SCANNING DATA

SNAKE GULLY QUIZMIT Scanning creates raw data with measurements taken for Fat Depth on the Rump
( P8 ), Fat Depth between the 12 /13 Rib ( Rib ), Intramuscular Fat ( IMF ) as a
TOSFQ47 % of the muscle measured from the 12th Rib back and Eye Muscle Area ( EMA )
Born: 13/10/2019 Colour: Apricot measured between the 12/13 Rib. The raw data from the individual animal is the
expression of its environment and genetics on the day of scanning and only com-
parable within its own management group.
Grade: French Pure Purity: 100%
The power of the raw data is when taken in the context of a management group
FIELDSON ALFY (PU) and used to create Estimated Breeding Values known as EBV's. These EBV's are
created with the use of the individual animals raw data with genetic pedigree
DOLCORSLLWYN FABIO (PN) (MH) linkages and raw data from its brothers, sisters, sire, dam, and extended rela-
COLCORSLLWYN AWEN (PU) tives. This makes the EBV a much more reliable genetic predictor than just one
Sire: SNAKE GULLY LUCAS (PF) (AA) animals raw data.
ON DIT (PN) (AA)
SNAKE GULLY DORIS (PN) (AA) Management groups for scanning are very important. A management group
SNAKE GULLY Y.W.C.A. (PC) (AA) should be all of one age, of the same sex, have more than one sire represented
with progeny and have all been treated the same.

With raw scan data, Rib and Rump Fat should be adequate (3 - 10 mms) and
WILODGE CERBERUS (PC) (AA) evenly distributed. IMF and EMA should be as high as possible within the animals
AMPERTAINE FOREMAN (PN) (MH) age and weight range.
AMPERTAINE BATHSHEBA (PU)
Dam: SNAKE GULLY MODEL More important is the animals EBV's. With these you can gauge where an animal
VIGOT (PN) ranks within the wider breeds population. You have to look at the breeds
SNAKE GULLY FASHION (PF) EBV Percentile Charts to do this. By comparing an animals individual EBV with
SNAKE GULLY BRITNEY (PN) (AA) this chart, you can see where each trait ranks within the breeds population. A
good starting point for comparison is breed average.

This will give you the information required to further consolidate the genetic gains
within your environment for the markets that you choose to supply.

A greater understanding of EBV's and how they affect an animals worth will assist
