Animal Sort Order
In these reports, the rams are sorted in descending order of Maternal index (MAT), Maternal Ultrasound index (MAT-U), Maternal Higher Prolificacy index (MAT-HP) or Maternal Ultrasound Higher Prolificacy index (MAT-UHP) for maternal breeds and in descending order of Gain index (GAIN) or Carcass index (CARC) for terminal breeds. The rams are sorted youngest to oldest.
Additional Information
The rank presents the ranking of the animal within all animals listed in the report.
Owner refers to the GenOvis program identification number of the owner of the animal in the system at the time of the main run. Please consult the GenOvis participants list to get the farm contact information.
IMPORTANT
To publish a breed’s top rams list, there must be a minimum of 3 producers who have evaluated a total of 100 ewes in the genetic program during the year.
For breeds with low participation numbers in GenOvis, lists may not be available. If there is no file attached to the link, it means no animal meets the publication criteria.
