    Abstract
    This paper emphasises the importance of including fitness traits in the breeding of livestock, and presents a model for determining overall productivity by combining the actuarial approach of population dynamics with the factorial method of assessing feed energy requirements. The method is illustrated with an example from smallholder dairy farms in Kenya.
