Breed - Services - Productivity test

 

 

 

 

Farms that participate in the Milk performance test program have to control all their animals production.

For financial reasons, the Hérens Breeders Organisation has mandated on October 2005 the Swiss Holstein Association to carry out the Milk performance test program.

Thanks to this change of system, the breeders receive every month two information sheets with the results of the ultimate daily milk weighing, the current state of lactation, the projection of the 270 days lactation as well as the distribution of the cows according to their milk protein percentage and urea concentration.

 

 

 

 

This kind of information is a perfect tool for controlling both the feeding methods and the milk production quality of the herd management.

Regulation of milk production can be read on the site of the Swiss Holstein Association (see the link)
