HealthSmart™ sires produce quality daughters that are healthier, more feed efficient. They lower costs and add greater profit to the dairy.
Healthy cows are the foundation of a long-lasting, profitable herd. Semex’s Healthsmart™ sires’ daughters are productive and thrive. They are proven to last longer and live healthier, which means more money for the dairy. At Semex, we understand a healthy cow is trouble-free, rarely needs special attention and is long-lasting. And, we know this is key to Genetics for Life.

AUSTRALIA’S NEW INDICES The Australian dairy industry is one of the most efficient in the world. This is due to the significant commitment of Australian dairy farmers who are always prepared to adopt new and innovative technologies to boost productivity. Now, with new opportunities opening up across Asia, thanks to ground-breaking new free trade agreements, our industry has the ability to boost productivity as never before. Maximising the productivity of our national dairy herd will be essential to optimising farmer returns. This year the Australian Dairy Herd Improvement Scheme (ADHIS) has introduced three new breeding indices based on your feedback. Choosing your preferred index, you, the farmer will breed the herd of cows you want to milk. Cows that are suited to Australian conditions. Choose your bulls from the Good Bulls Guide and drive your profitability, and that of the entire industry, into our collective future. Noel Campbell President, Australian Dairy Farmers
Geoff Akers Chairman, Dairy Australia
Adrian Drury Chairman, Australian Dairy Herd Improvement Scheme
Three new indices – how they work Indices combine several Australian Breeding Values (ABVs) in a way that maximises genetic gain towards the National Breeding Objective (Figure 1). The three new indices, listed below, replace the old Australian Profit Ranking to better help farmers select bulls to produce replacement heifers. 1. The Balanced Performance Index is an economic index that blends production, type and health traits for maximum profit. It will reflect most farmers’ preferences.
Balanced Performance Index (BPI) • Economic index • Blends production, type and health traits for maximum profit
2. The Health Weighted Index allows farmers to fast track traits such as fertility, mastitis resistance and feed efficiency.
• In line with farmer preferences
Health Weighted Index (HWI)
3. The Type Weighted Index allows farmers to fine tune type traits to make a good herd even better.
• Fast track fertility, mastitis resistance and feed saved
The indices are borne of our largest ever cross-country survey of farmer’s breeding preferences. You spoke and we listened. The result is a precision tool for ensuring you find the best bull, anywhere in the world, to fulfil the potential of your herd.
Figure 1: Percentage emphasis on trait groups in Australia’s three new breeding indices. Compare the emphasis placed on trait groups in each index. For example, the new Feed Saved ABV has the greatest emphasis in the Health Weighted Index.

LIFETIME PROFIT INDEX - The LPI provides a single rating of the overall genetic merit of a sire based on the production, conformation and auxiliary traits known to affect longevity, durability and profitability of its daughters. If the sire has been genotyped for the 50K SNP panel, a GLPI is provided instead of an LPI. ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUE - Production proofs are expressed as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs), which are measured in Mature Equivalent Kilograms, for Milk, Fat and Protein Yield. The single EBV published for Milk, Fat and Protein Yield is the average of the first three lactations. EBVs are also provided for Fat and Protein Percentages. CANADIAN TEST DAY MODEL - The Canadian Dairy Network (CDN) is responsible for calculating production proofs for sires and cows using the Canadian Test Day Model (CTDM), which compares the progeny of each sire to their contemporaries using data from each test day. A unique feature of the CTDM is that separate EBVs are available for Milk, Fat and Protein yield, as well as Persistency and Somatic Cell Score, for each of the first three lactations. ROLLING PRODUCTION BASE - Production and conformation EBVs are calculated relative to a rolling base which is updated in January each year. In 2015, the rolling base includes all cows born during a 3-year period (2007-2009) having test day records in the CTDM evaluation. Active sires tend to have higher production EBVs, since their proofs are expressed relative to this cow base. Conversely, the EBVs of older sires tend to decline as the rolling base is adjusted. STANDARD DEVIATIONS - Simply put, the standard deviation tells us how far a bull is from the mean (average) value of all the bulls. The graph on the right shows the normal distribution of bull proofs for conformation traits with 68% of bull ranging from -5 to +5, 95% from -10 to +10, 99% from -15 to +15, etc.).
70%
Expected Distribution of Bull Proofs for Conformation Traits
For most bulls their scores will be close to the average of all the bulls, while fewer bulls will score at the high end or at the low end. Very few bulls reach scores as high as +19 as compared with over 99% of bulls falling in the range of +15 to -15.

PRODUCTION -
Based on the Canadian Test Day Model using Estimated Breeding Values from 1st, 2nd & 3rd lactation for Milk, Fat and Protein yield which are blended together to achieve one published rating. A Rolling Genetic Base is used to express Production EBVs. In 2015, this base includes all cows born during a 3-year period centred 7 years ago (2007-2009) having test day records in the CTDM genetic evaluation analysis.
CONFORMATION - Conformation proofs are expressed as Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) displayed using a - 20 to +20 scale, with a standard deviation of 5. A rolling Genetic Base is used to express Conformation EBVs. In 2015, this base includes all proven bulls born in the most recent 10-year period (2000-2009). A sire’s conformation proof is based on all classifications of his first lactation daughters using a linear type classification system. Daughter scores provide the basis for EBVs for major type and descriptive traits. Major traits can be used to narrow down the field of sires (e.g. feet and legs.) Descriptive traits can be used to focus on specific traits (e.g. correct foot angle).
DESCRIPTIVE TRAITS Descriptive traits are evaluated using the same method as the Conformation but focuses on specifics with the greater number being preferable except for the Mid-Scoring traits that are circled. For the Mid-Scoring traits the higher the number the greater the tendency to exhibit the trait as noted by the letter (e.g. 9S - very high tendency to transmit Straight for Rear Leg Side View). A value of 0 is considered the most correct.
D HEALTH & REPRODUCTION
TRAITS A collection of genetic evaluations to be used as herd management tools. By avoiding sires significantly below breed average for these traits, breeders can augment the effectiveness of their overall breeding program.
UNDERSTANDING U.S. SIRE PROOFS Total Performance Index (TPI) Combines genetic proofs for production, type, longevity and fertility into a single value. Higher is better. GTPI = Genomic TPI value

Net Merit (NM) Additional net profit the offspring will provide over her lifetime. Expressed in $US.
Origin of Production proof USDA = Domestic proof; HA = Domestic Proof MACE = Interbull MACE Proof The letter “G” indicates the inclusion of genomic information
Productive Life (PL) Measurement of longevity, including yield information. Higher is better. Somatic Cell Score (SCS) An indicator trait for mastitis resistance based on the direct measure of somatic cells in milk samples. Lower is better.
proof month-year
Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR) The percentage of non-pregnant cows that become pregnant during each 21-day period. A bull with a DPR of 1 indicates that his daughters are 1% more likely to become pregnant than a bull with a DPR of 0. Higher is better.
Predicted Transmitting Ability - Type (PTAT) Average: 0 Higher is better.
*
*
Based on daughter classification. Average: 0 Higher is better.

*For these traits, 0 is ideal. These traits include Rump Angle, Rear Legs Side View, Fore Teat Placement, and Fore Teat Length.
* ANIMAL MODEL – The animal model represents proven methodology for calculating Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTAs). Evaluations are based on the animal and its relationship to other animals being evaluated. Information from the animal itself, its ancestors, and its progeny are incorporated, with all known relationships among the animals considered. PRODUCTION TRAITS – Production traits are expressed in predicted transmitting ability, which is an estimate of the genetic superiority or inferiority that an animal will transmit to the offspring. TYPE TRAITS – Type Traits are expressed as Standardized Transmitting Abilities (STAs). This allows you to easily compare different traits of the same bull and see which traits have the most extreme values. The graph below illustrates normal distribution of bull proofs for conformation traits.
