Recommended Uniform Rules for the Herd Improvement Registry Test

The purpose of the Breeds' Relations Committee in making the following recommendations was to simplify, without detracting from the reliability of the test, the rules for the Herd Improvement Registry Tests. State Superintendents of Official Testing are faced with the problem of explaining five dairy breed herd tests to supervisors and breeders. Building on the experience of the breed association and the state superintendents, the committee was of the opinion that a revision of the rules was possible and that a uniform set of rules for all breeds would strengthen this vitally important testing program.

A revision and supplement to the rules was recommended by the Breeds' Relations Committee and adopted by the American Dairy Science Association at Ames, Iowa, June, 1930. It was recommended by the Breeds' Relations Committee of the American Dairy Science Association at a meeting of the committee held at Dallas, Texas, October 13 and 14, 1936, and adopted by the Production Section of the American Dairy Science Association at its annual meeting held June 25,1937, at Lincoln, Nebraska.
