Grassland Proof Information August 2018
EBI
is an across base single figure profit index, devised for the Irish grassland system, suited for milk contracts with high weights of Fat and Protein %. The EBI score is expressed in currency as to how much more the sire in question would improve margins compared to the average. It is broken down into a number of sub indexes. All sub indexes are calculated as a financial value and a higher, positive value is deemed more desirable.
IRISH EBI SUMMARY Below Average

Milk Sub Index
Looks for heavy weighting of Protein and Fat compared to milk yield, aligning itself to component contracts.
Fertility Sub Index
Takes into account calving interval and survival.
Calving Sub Index
Takes into account calving ease, gestation length and calf mortality.

&
pressed as a financial value. All figures are on an all breeds base, so that you can make easy dairy breed selec-
ACI
tions, with no need to convert figures to help you make the best decisions for your grassland herd. -2
