With the best bulls for CRV Efficiency you will breed a herd that is more productive, has a higher longevity and a higher feed efficiency. The result is a higher efficiency and you also contribute to lower methane emissions.

A healthy herd makes work more pleasurable and profitable. CRV Efficiency helps you breed highly productive cows that convert feed efficiently into milk and achieve high lifetime production.

An efficient herd has a higher output in kilograms of milk or beef using a lower input of resources. That is better for profitability and for the environment. CRV’s indexes simplify breeding for health and efficiency.

Improvement of efficiency
Daughters of a bull with +6% CRV Efficiency will produce on average 3% more milk from their feed intake in their lifetimes. This implies additional lifetime production of more than 2000 kilos of milk. Traits included: milk, fat, protein, longevity, feed efficiency, calving interval, body weight.

In addition to production, longevity and feed efficiency, the CRV Efficiency index also includes persistency, late maturity, calving interval and age at calving.

Results breeding for efficiency
Practical research* shows that breeding for CRV Efficiency works. Cows with +6% for this index have a higher feed efficiency, higher lifetime production and higher longevity.
