As soon as a trait can be measured on the animal itself, the value of the information of its ancestors becomes less. Then, the genetic value of the animals is expressed and it becomes clear which 50 % of the DNA of the sire and of the dam went to this particular animal. DNA-analysis of parents and the animal itself even can clarify which alleles of the parents are passed to the animal.
