Summary

This technical note gives an overview of the history of dairy cattle breeding, introduces the basic concept and outlines the consequences of genomic breeding strategies especially with regard to functional traits. First results of the LowInputBreeds project in the area of dairy cattle breeding are presented, and limitations and ethical implementations are discussed. Finally, recommendations are given how farmers, especially in the low input sector, should implement the new approach.
