healthy cows. 90% of the cows in scandinavia are in milk recording and this alongside with veterinary and hoof trimmer reports, makes it possible to breed for mastitis resistance and other diseases. the index for other diseases is actually a major reason why the recently dis- covered genetic disease hh6 has low frequency in the vikingholstein popula- tion. we early identified that the carrier sires were bad for metabolic diseases. the improvement in health traits has contributed to an annual genetic pro- gress of 5.6 ntm units (vikingholstein). 5.6 ntm units mean 28,000 ? in a herd of 500 cows without any extra efforts - it is all in the genes. so when the times are tough for dairy producers the reason for choosing
