About This Book

The guide presents a practical adaptation of Guenon's method for judging dairy cattle by external physical signs, focusing on the classification and interpretation of escutcheon marks as indicators of milk yield and quality. It explains the theory behind the markings, reproduces illustrative plates, and offers step-by-step instructions for assessing individual animals. The volume includes results and recommendations from official trials and guidance for applying the system in selection, breeding, and farm practice. Lectural material and suggestions for teaching the method to agricultural audiences complete the practical presentation.
