About a year ago the Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders association formed a new register called the Register of Production for animals of superior merit.

It notes only abnormal conditioning before calving can temporarily elevate butter fat, not a permanent feeding method. It compares Holstein potential with Jersey and Guernsey milk qualities and calls for a reliable feeding solution.
