Why select VikingHolstein? Healthy, efficient cows – suited to pure and cross breeding systems • Healthy Excellent health and reproduction • High producing High lifetime production of milk and solids • Resilient Great genetic diversity - long-lasting • Efficient Medium-sized cows, easy to manage ProCROSS INDEX Select your bulls for crossbreeding ProCROSS exclusivity ProCROSS, with 20-years experience in dairy crossbreeding, created a unique index adapted to modern dairy producers selection objectives: The PCR index. ProCROSS PCR index has been developed to make bulls selection easier when it comes to ProCROSS crossbreeding program. This modern index is focusing on the specific selection criteria of dairy crossbreeding. The PCR is a practical selection tool which ranks bulls according to their native index, ISU for Montbeliarde, NTM for VikingRed and VikingHolstein. PCR index will help dairy producers around the world to select the most suitable bulls for their crossbreeding strategy. PCR index objectives Using the PCR index, your herd will become: MEDIUM-SIZED, HOMOGENEOUS LONG-LASTING AND HIGH PRODUCTIVE REQUIRING LESS LABOUR AND VETERINARIAN COSTS Breed Statistics No. cows Milk kg (305 days) Fat kg 570,000 (DNK, SWE, FIN) 11,335 458 Fat % 4.04 Protein kg 392 Protein % 3.46 Fat + Protein kg 850 NAV January 2022 1 index, 2 expressions Solids, Fat & Protein Production Liquid Milk Production All other traits are equally weighed in both PCR options.

The higher the PCR index is, the more suitable the bull will be for crossbreeding. December 2021
