14. Why are different traits such as body conformation, milk components and growth rate being measured?

Milk yield is not the sole criteria for judging the performance of the animal. Milk should also be tested for other milk components like fat, protein and lactose content as these parameters decide the market price of milk.

Body confirmation and growth rate are highly and positively correlated to production and reproduction traits.
