GPFT (Productivity, Functionality and Type)
GPFT is the selection index of the Italian Holstein breed, which combines milk produc- tion, functionality and type. The official ranking is based on GPFT and ranges from 0 to 99 dividing the population in percentiles. The ranking is calculated separately for bulls and cows. The rank 99 identifies the best 1% of bulls and cows. Since December 2011, rank 98 (best 2% of the population) is the official limit for a bull to be used in A.I. The following table shows the relative weight of each trait included in GPFT.
| PRODUCTION | WEIGHT | FUNCTIONALITY | WEIGHT | CONFORMATION | WEIGHT |
| Milk kg | 0 | Longevity | 5 | Type | 4 |
| Fat kg | 8 | Somatic Cells | 5 | Udder (ICM) | 9 |
| Protein kg | 33 | Fertility | 20 | Feet & Legs (IAP) | 4 |
| Fat % | 3 | MST (Mastitis) | 6 | | |
| Protein % | 3 | | | | |
