t he genetic progess can be meas- ured in many ways, but for the cattle breeder high
ntm
for the newborn heifers is important since it af- fects the bottom line in future. in den- mark, seges made an evaluation of
ntm
for born heifer calves in the period 2000 to 2015 (figure 1). it shows that over the past eight years, vikingred heifers had the highest
ntm
across the breeds. the good result for vikingred is due to an ef- fective breeding scheme, limited use of private
bulls
and few import
bulls
with low
ntm
. vikinggenetics has good breeding schemes for all three dairy breeds with high genetic progress bene- fiting the vikinggenetics members. 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 15 10 5 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 -25
