LIC has updated its High Input Index to include a focus on a range of traits alongside breeding worth to identify animals best suited to high input systems. Those traits include: Capacity, Udder Support, Udder Overall and Protein.
How do I interpret the High Input Index?
The High Input index allows two animals to be compared based on their suitability to the system. Unlike gBW & PW, it does not represent an economic value of the animal’s productive performance or ability to breed profitable replacements.
These traits are:
- udder support
- capacity
- udder overall
- protein
These traits are combined with the traits for BW to produce a high input index for each bull. We use this index to identify bulls whose offspring are best suited for a high input feeding system.
You can use the index to compare how suitable animals are to the system.
We put together teams of bulls that will produce high BW animals with the right traits to cope with high input feeding.
We offer No Choice High Input Packs in two breeds:
- Holstein-Friesian
- KiwiCross
Minimum order: 30 straws.
