The index of ecological total breeding value has different weightings of the performance and functional traits. Project aims: Development and alignment of index for an ecological total breeding values for the main breeds in Switzerland. Methodology: Developing and implementing of the different weightings by experts from breeding organisations, researchers and peer groups of organic farmers. institution: Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL), CH-5070 Frick department: Animal Husbandry and Breeding citation: {Project} ÖZW: Entwicklung und Einführung eines ökologischen Gesamtzuchtwertes.
