An increasing number of countries have implemented national genetic evaluations for udder health in recent years. Most countries consider indicator traits like SCC data and udder conformation traits in their genetic evaluation. Additionally the Nordic countries also include diagnoses of clinical mastitis in their genetic evaluation of udder health. Further the Nordic countries also use diagnoses of other diseases in genetic evaluation for resistance against other diseases.

Breeding goals have significantly changed in many countries during the last years. Functional traits have been given more weight at the expense of milk yield. Especially mastitis resistance has got a lot of attention. Many countries today focus on the possibilities to register diseases, since an efficient breeding work for health traits requires registration of diseases
