Abstract

Alternatives for dehorning are being sought in a set up of a breeding program taking into account demands of farmers, breeding organizations and society. This entailed balancing the speed of fixation of polledness, genetic gain in other traits and inbreeding rates. Risks have been investigated and several scenario's will be presented.
