| Compliance
Many members are not yet compliant with the Rules and Regulations of Zimbabwe Herd Book
as well as of those of their Breed Societies. In order to strengthen the integrity of ZHB, its Breed Societies and database, all members are requested to ensure that their records are up-to-date at ZHB, all outstanding queries have been attended to and resolved and that all annual levies have been remitted. Follow links below for a summary of Breeder requirements and detailed notes in the Members Guide for your review and information. Contact ZHB at trace@lit.co.zw or your Breed Society or fellow breeders for further clarification and assistance. Summary of ZHB Breeders Requirements Setting Up Calving Year in BreedPlan In the instance where a breeder has not defined a ‘Calving Year’ in BreedPlan, animals are treated as distinct groups within a Calendar Year, e.g. 2021 born calves, and ident of all calves starts with year of birth, i.e. ‘21’. This typically applies to year-round calving. For breeders with a calving season that extends over the calendar year, for example, calving from September to March, provision can be made in BreedPlan to identify these animals as being in the same calving contemporary group. This will avoid splitting the contemporary group in genetic analyses according to calendar year. To cater for this, we firstly require you to confirm your Calving Year. For example, with a calving season extending from September to March, then a Calving Year can be defined as April to March. Then all calves born from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022 will be given the same Year of Birth in their Ident, that is 21-NNNNHDL. Kindly advise your Calving Year so that we can make necessary edits to BreedPlan to cater for your calving seasons. To do so, email: trace@lit.co.zw |
