Rib structure

The trait definition of angularity has been changed over the years to better describe the actual trait. Last year it was decided to also change the name of the trait, so that the trait name would also better describe the trait. The new name is Rib structure.

From the 5th of September you will see the new name Rib structure in all NAV’s dairy search pages and trend page.
