Shedding Score Guidelines

MLA is currently co-investing in projects through the MLA Donor Company (MDC) to develop shedding ASBVs in the future. These will be available in late 2025/2026 in their research form. Breeders may start collecting and submitting shedding score data. It is important to note that these guidelines are currently in their development phase and may change over time.

Shedding score data may submitted in the visuals under either “SHED”, “SHEDDING SCORE”, and “SHEDDING”
