The Pedigree Book is a basic and essential pillar to develop any breeding program and selection. We can obtain information about the ancestors and descendants of each animal and it allows us to monitor the quality of the animals and their milk production.
To develop this selection and genetic improvement scheme, it is essential to have a precise and unequivocal identification system of the animals, as well as the correct assignment of filiation relationships.

This DNA analysis of each individual allow verifying the genealogical compatibility with their parents, a fundamental aspect for the registration of the animal in the Herd Book of the Breed
