9 Dairy cattle have improved greatly USDA-AIPL, Cooperative Extension, and industry partners have worked together well for 100 years Much more progress is possible Genomic data just beginning USDA got out of service work to concentrate on research

10 (a) (b) (c) (d) To provide a forum in which to share information and coordinate activities that improve dairy cattle; To ensure the integrity of data included in the Cooperator Database accessed for the purposes of genetic evaluation calculations and management benchmarks by establishing quality certification standards for this purpose; To contract with a qualified organization(s) to monitor compliance with such standards by parties who furnish data included in the Cooperator Database accessed for the purpose of genetic evaluation calculations and management benchmarks; and To maintain the Cooperator Database, and calculate and distribute genetic evaluations and management benchmarks.

13 March 27 th, Signature This agreement provides for the transition of the genetic and genomic evaluations from AGIL to CDCB. This transition started with CDCB delivering the April 2013 official genetic evaluation results for production traits and delivering all genetic evaluations in December 2013 forward. The NFCA ensures that AGIL will continue having full access to the CDCB database and performing research and development of methods, procedures and algorithms to compute estimates of genetic merit of dairy animals. December 17 th, effective date of the NFCA announced by the CDCB Two year countdown to CDCB being self-sufficient in Computer resources Staffing Capacity to run the genetic evaluations, provide the dairy management benchmarks and maintain the industry cooperative database

17 Release and Use of Records Use and access of data Collection of Health and Fitness Trait Data Animal ID Tools and Resources for the Future

18 Needs to be current with the business environment Use and Access Recognize and address that famers need to control the access and system acts as steward of the data

19 Ideas and opportunities A demand for this to be implemented USDA-APHIS-CEAH for health monitoring AGIL-AIP and CDCB for research

20 Key ID areas Animal Sample Sample to Animal or Animal to Sample

21 Relevance of herds of all sizes o Co-existence in the milking parlor o Interface with milking systems o Service, data, products, information

22 Use and access to/of data Farmers want to know where, how, and by whom data are being used

24 Paul VanRaden, USDA-AGIL-AIP and the staff João Dürr, CDCB CEO and the staff Dairy farmers for participating in the system for the benefit of dairy production

25 Bright future of dairy data flow synergy Innovation driven Huge potential for the benefit of dairy production and delivery of dairy protein and nutrients to feed an expanding population Working for and with farmers
