The breeding goal is described in the NTM, which is an economic index, ensuring maximum progress for all economically important traits and best profitability for the farmers. Genomic selection is an important tool when VikingGenetics finds the best bull calves for the breeding program. VikingGenetics tests 3,000 Holstein bull calves per year, and the best 100 will have daughter proofs from daughters in lactation in app. 9,500 Danish, Swedish and Finnish Holstein herds. All genomic bulls starts as a sire of sons before they enter the daily plan. The breeding basis is 600,000 milk recorded Holstein cows in the three Viking countries. Furthermore VikingGenetics supplements with the best genetics from other countries with high level Holstein populations. VikingHolstein is in close cooperation with other European countries on genomic selection for red and black Holstein in the EuroGenomics cooperation. This means improved standard of reference and higher reliability for the genomic breeding values.
