VARIABILITY OF SCORE ASSESSMENT OF STUDS AT PERFORMANCE TESTS

In the years 1989-1994 the results obtained in particular disciplines during performance tests were assessed in 57 young Friesian studs. The variance of score assessment between the six years under observation is not significant in any of the disciplines. Performance disciplines are assessed by stricter score criteria than while the character and t raining are assessed. The assessment of the variance between test disc iplines does not however show a highly significant difference (F = 31. 8 > F-0.01 = 3.07). Testing the difference of the means the latter are highly significant for the performance disciplines and the character, and for those performance disciplines and scores at training. The dif ferences between the performance disciplines are not significant.
