Summary
Routine analyses for Sheep Genetics have been completed on a fortnightly basis without interruption. A significant number of additional research and development runs were also conducted, usually arising from ongoing consultation between AGBU and Sheep Genetics. Several new versions of OVIS have been developed which add additional traits as well as other functionality to improve estimation of breeding values. The programs which run the routine analyses have been enhanced significantly to use these new versions of OVIS and associated parameter files. Each time changes have been made significant amounts of testing were performed and reported to Sheep Genetics and the Sheep Genetics Technical Committee.
