The profi table choiceViking Jersey Cows sired by VikingGenetics bulls prepare you
for an ever more competitive future, combining longevity and
production like no other cows. We were the fi rst to focus on
important traits like fertility and udder health – a dedication
to the farmer’s best interest that has resulted in superior
long-term profi tability.
Viking Jerseys are on the leading edge among the world’s
Jersey population for fat and protein percentages and yields.
An outcross to most other Jersey populations, Viking Jerseys
are internationally famous for longevity and are respected
worldwide to be an effi cient, healthy and durable cow with
high components. Give your herd the international edge by
including Viking Jersey sires. The high participation in milk
recording and the unique registrations on health and fertility
enables an effective selection for cows that are high yielding
and in the same time breed back and stay healthy.
In short, our Viking cows give you more output, less trouble
and more freedom.

1. What is NTM?NTM (Nordic Total Merit) is the most complete total merit index in the world. NTM consists of more than 40 subtraits combined into 12 main traits as shown in the right fi gure.
When you use NTM as selection criteria, you obtain positive progress for all traits of economic importance in the dairycattle industry. You obtain the highest progress from the “most expensive traits” such as fat and protein yield and health traits as shown in the fi gure to he right.
Longevity index and production index have the highestcorrelation of all traits to the NTM, showing that the NTM is optimized to produce long living and high producing cows.
Understand the benefi t from high NTM – increased profi t!

Daughter fertility Days open reduced by 5.6 days and 0.06 less services per pregnancy
Calvings, Sire (Maiden heifers) Reduction in diffi cult calvings with 1 % and 1.2 % less stillborn calves
Calvings, Maternal (Maiden heifers) Reduction in diffi cult calvings with 2.5 % and 2.4 % less stillborn calves
Udder health 3 % units less mastitis treatments in fi rst lactation. 4 % units less mastitis treatments in secondand third lactation
Other diseases 0.5 % units less treatments for reproduction diseases, metabolic disorders and diseases in hooves, feet and legs in fi rst and second lactation. 2.2% units less treatments for the same diseases inthird lactation
Milking speed 9.5 g fat + protein more per minute, robots and farmer observation
Longevity 35 days longer productive life
Milk index + 164 kg milk
Fat index + 8 kg fat
Fat percentage + 0.13 %
Protein index + 6 kg protein
Protein percentage + 0.08 %
Growth + 1 g/day. Higher weight gain of bull calves
Calculation of production index - 0.3 x Milk + 0.5 x Fat + 0.8 x Protein
3. The value of NTM unitsThe value of +10 NTM units for the sire is the same as 100 Euro added value for the heifer under Scandinavian conditions.

2. How are the indexes in NTM expressed?EBVs of all animals are adjusted in such a way that animals in the base population have an average index of 100.
For all traits a rolling base consisting of cows from Denmark and Sweden thatare 3-5 years of age at the date of publication is applied.
The Standard Deviation is a statistic that tells you how widely spread fromthe average the scores of all bulls are for any particular trait.
The bell curve shows what each standard deviation represents.
One standard deviation away from the mean in either direction(the purple area) accounts for about 68 % of the bulls.

2 ProductionProduction Index: Based on amount of protein,fat and milk. There is a slight negative weighting applied to the milk quantity, in order tomaintain concentration.
Growth: Based on data from slaughtered male progeny. Includes growth and carcass classifi cation.
3 HealthDaughter fertility: Fertility data from heifers, fi rst, second and third calvers. Includes number of inseminations, interval from calving to 1st insemination, interval between fi rst and last insemination, Non-return rate.
Calving index, sire: Based on calving diffi culties and number of stillborn calves from fi rst calvers as wellas later lactations.
Calving index, maternal: Expresses the ability of the bull’s daughters to give birth to a living calf at their fi rst calving.
Udder health: Based on mastitis diagnoses, compulsory reported by vets and from the milk recording scheme, cell-count data and reported cullings due to mastitis. In addition conformation traits like udder depth is used to further increasethe accuracy of the index.
Other diseases: Based on diseases other than mastitis, compulsory reported by vets and culling reports from the milk recording scheme. The diseases are divided in to four different subindexes – early and late fertility disorder, feet and leg problems and metabolic diseases – these four sub-indexes arethen weight together to the complete index for other diseases.
Longevity: Productive life, days from 1st calving,max 365 d/lactation. Information from the fi rstfi ve lactations.
Hoof health: Based on lesion scoring reported by hoof trimmers. Includes both infectious and laminitis related lesions with highest weight put on sole ulcer.
4 ConformationA comprehensive classifi cation of body, legsand udder. Based on a linear description of conformation traits.
Legs: A comprehensive evaluation of the legs.
Udder: A comprehensive evaluation of the udder.
Temperament: Based on farmer’s observations.
Milking Speed: Based on farmer’s observations.
