SCHEDULE merit of pure-bred breeding sheep and goats may be calculated using combination of the following methods. All the data accruing from the test be accessible to the competent authority. The final results must be

I. Performance testing Performance testing on a station The name of the body or of the authority responsible for the station and name of the authority responsible for the calculation and publication the results are to be given. The design of the test is to be stated . The following items are to be clearly stated: - conditions for acceptance into the station and in particular maximum age or weight of young breeding animals at the start of the test and number of animals, - length of the test period in the station or final weight, type of diet and system of feeding. The traits recorded (for example live weight, feed conversion, estimator the body composition, milk production, milk composition, quality of wool production or any other relevant data) shall be stated. The method used for estimating genetic merit must be scientifically acceptable according to established zootechnical principles. The genetic merit of tested breeding animal must be stated as a breeding value or contemporary comparison for each trait. Performance testing on a farm performance test may be carried out on a farm providing that at the end of the genetic merit can be calculated following established zootechnical recording and assessment of the genetic merit of females for milk traits name of the body or of the authority responsible for the testing and the authority responsible for the calculation and publication of the results design to the test is to be stated.

traits recorded in conformity with the norms laid down by the Inter-Committee for recording productivity of milk animals (for example milk milk composition or any other relevant data) shall be stated. records used in the determination of the genetic merit of females must:

relate to a period of time which conforms to the norm laid down by the International Committee for recording productivity of milk animals; adjusted for any important environmental influences.

method used for estimating genetic merit must be scientifically according to established zootechnical principles. The genetic merit of breeding animal must be stated as a breeding value or contemporary each trait. BREEDING SHEEP AND GOATS [
