HOW TO USE HOOF HEALTH PROOFS?
Hoof Health Synthesis proof (STPI) = 50% Infectious lesions synt.(SLI) + 50% Mechanical injuries synt. (SLM). The Hoof Health Synthesis leads to an improvement on global hoof health selection and on the 8 diseases identified in the Montbeliade breed. But breeders can also use separately one of the two composite index synthesis to improve either mechanical injuries or infectious lesions.
