The milk component of 50% includes a ratio of fat: protein of 1: 1.34 and additionally 1.5% on protein percentage. The meat value remains at 5%. The fitness features are constructed as: 12% life, 3% Persistence, 15% fertility, 1% of maternal calving ease, vitality 4% genetic, 10% udder health. Thus the weight of fertility is almost doubled. With this orientation, the breed identity of Braunvieh can be clearly underlined as dairy focused dual purpose breed with a clear focus on protein, which has advantages in life and fertility.
