First, the set up starts with a description of the production system (step 1). In more general terms the analysis of the way we keep the animals and for which purpose. What is relevant in this respect? For a small dog only kept as a companion animal in a comfortable house behavior and health are important. For heath sheep kept in rough conditions the whole year around fitness traits and grazing behavior are relevant. For growing broilers in intensive systems with high production costs, daily growth is conclusive.
