Information on the accuracy of breeding values, the base unit of genetic merit on the SIL system, is available on a separate web page (link below). 

The following technical notes are available:

From farm measurements to genetic merit
The link between on-farm measurements and estimates of genetic merit

Outside Sires Method adjustments in SIL evaluations
"Best-bet" estimates of genetic merit for sires from outside flocks

Goal trait registration
In order to genetically evaluate some traits a flock must be registered with a 3rd party service provider. If a flock is not registered, some BVs and indexes may be blank.
