Quantifying various livestock characteristics to determine their superiority or inferiority. Methods vary depending on the type of livestock and the trait being tested, but commonly used tests include the milk-producing ability of dairy cows, the meat-producing ability of beef cattle and pigs, the wool-laying ability of sheep, and the egg-laying ability of chickens. It is an effective means of selecting superior livestock, and is particularly essential for the selection and breeding of breeding stock.
