From Monday 18 February 2019 the new ANARB database will be activated, for the genealogical book information.
From the same date the archive on the AS400 system will no longer be available.
The power of this new data base is based on the automatic and continuous acquisition of new data from Siall (LG events, productions, etc.) and of changes / corrections on existing data.
The consultation of information in aggregate form, the certifications and other services made available on Bruna online remain unchanged.

Anarb Central Technical Committee
Some very important decisions were made during the latest CTC: the new ‘on-step’ method for gentic and genomic evaluations, the new udder index (from December 2018), improved genetic indexes for fat and protein. More info on the next issue of rb, rivista ‘la razza bruna’.
Genetics
The December Evaluation Run shows a high genetic value of the sires selected with genomics. The newest entries are in the First Run Sires list and the new udder index. The sires with the highest number of Rank 99 daughters are Italian: Zephir and Bender. The daman dog female genotyping has been increasing lately.

LATTeco Anarb – New data base
The PSRN requires the collection and the use of a wide number of new records collected by the control stations and on the field. Some of the advantages of the innovative and updated database implemented by the ANARB to manage LATTeco records include cross checks, easy access, registration and management of new phenotypic records.
LATTeco Anarb – Experimental cattle barn
To provide the most innovative records required by the LATTeco Project, the ANARB Genetic Center has been transformed in an updated control station for the male and female Brown cattle.
LATTeco Anarb – Bruna Days
Selection, animal well being, milk quality, biodiversity and environment safeguard are the key words of the LATTeco Project which characterized the Autumn meetings held in Viggiano, Potenza for Central and Southern Italy and Fidenza, Parma for Northern Italy. The events were attended by a large number of visitors. The breeders who stood out for their selection results were awarded during the meetings.
LATTeco Anarb – Report
The Report about the activities carried out by the ANARB within the project LATTeco –dairy breeds and sustainable selection methods – is available on line.
