The function on NAV Bull Search that includes phenotypic values (breed averages and bull’s effect) has been extended with more traits. This time it is yield and udder health traits that have been added. These values can be useful in interpretation of what a bull’s breeding values means in practice since they show the effect of the bull expressed in the same scale as the trait is measured for example kilograms of milk.
