The objective of the study was to relate estimated breeding values (EBVs) of the parents’ 305-days protein production and the bull dam herd-year characteristics to the empirical bias in pedigree indices (difference between the pedigree index and the final proof) of young bulls. Two animal model evaluations were carried out; one included records up to 1990 and the other up to spring 1992. The final data set included 242 bulls with pedigree indices, final proofs, parents’ EBVs, production and herd information (the size, the average production and the intraherd standard deviation) of the dams. The average empirical bias in pedigree indices was 13.6 kg. The correlation between the final proof of the bull and the EBVs of the bull sire or dam wer...
