A genetic condition that is associated with progressive skeletal muscle weakness and calf mortality

Deficiency of Uridine Monophosphate Synthase (DUMPS)

Characterized by lowered blood activity of enzyme uridine monophosphate synthase (UMPS), DUMPS leads to embryonic death in early stage of pregnancy.

Bovine Lueukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (BLAD)

Brachyspina

Genetic disorder associated with still born calves, vertebrae malformation, reduced body weight, shorten spine and long legs, abnormal formation of kidney, testicles and heart.

Red Charlie (RC)

Homozygous black animals which carry Red Charlie should be treated as carriers for the red coat color gene.

Coat Color Dilutor (DL)

This dilution gene causes black coat color to be gray and red coat color to be yellow.

Digital Subluxation (DS)

Affected animals are known to have malformation of the rear pastern or pasterns.

Dun Coat Color (DN)

This dilution gene causes black coat color to be diluted to shades of dark brown to golden. Red pigment is not diluted by this mutation.

Kappa Casein

A genetic test that can help characterize a key protein in cheese making what influences the renneting time and curd firmness

Leptin

By regulating appetite and energy use, leptin can have an influence on many aspects of dairy and beef production. Classifying the type of leptin gene in beef.

Tenderness

A genetic test that is associated with meat that requires less shear force to cut (tenderness)

Residual Feed Intake Score

Residual feed intake (RFI) is a measure of feed efficiency, and is defined as the difference between an animal's actual feed intake and its expected feed intake based on its size and growth.

Holstein Cholesterol Deficiency

Stearoyl CoA Desaturase (SCD)

Cattle may have a genetic variant that produces a superior fat composition (lower melting point).

Protoporphyria

Calves affected by Protoporphyria have an acute form of photosensitization resulting in hair loss and/or the formation of ulcers on areas exposed to sunlight. In some instances this condition is lethal.

A2 Milk

A2 Beta casein – A2 beta casein protein that is less common than the A1 beta casein protein typically found in milk. Some studies have demonstrated human health benefits associated with A2 milk.

Beta Lactoblobulin

β-Lactoglobulin is the major whey protein found in milk. Several genetic variants have been identified, the main ones in the cow being labelled A and B. Certain variation may be of advantage in the fo

Pompes (E7, E13, E18)

A genetic condition that is often affilated with glycogen buildup that interfers with normal tissue function

Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD)

Causes mental and physical retardation, feeding problems, and a maple syrup odor to the urine.

Fish Milk

Metabolism error associated with a fishy off-flavor in cow’s millk due to elevated levels of trimethylamine

Tibial Hemimelia (TH)

Affected animals are born with severe deformities including twisted rear legs with fused joints, large abdominal hernias and/or skull deformities.

Oculocataneous Hypopigmentation (OH)

Affected animals are known to have eyes with irises that are pale blue around the pupil.

Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH)

More commonly known as "waterhead", affected animals are born dead with an extremely large head with little or no brain material or spinal cord.

Osteopetrosis (OS)

Also known as “marble bone”, affected animals phenotypically possess a short lower jaw and impacted molars as well as elongated, fragile bones that are easily broken.

Pulmonary Hypoplasia Anasarca (PHA)

Affected animals are stillborn due to underdeveloped lungs and swelling caused by excessive fluid retention.

Myostatin (MYO)

Most commonly referred to as “double muscling”. Possible variants tested include C313Y, nt419, E226X, nt821, E291X, Q204X, D182N, F94L, and S105C.

Alpha Mannosidosis (MA)

Affected animals develop poor coordination and an aggressive disposition when disturbed.

SeekSire™ Parentage

SeekSire™ parentage testing compares DNA markers from bulls (or cows) with DNA from calves to verify the calves’ parentage.

Horned/Polled (HP)

Genomic test to determine an animal's carrier status for the horned gene.

Hypotrichosis (HY)

Also known as "hairlessness", affected animals have partial or total hair loss.

Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE)

Also referred to as “shaker calf”, affected animals are prone to seizures.

Developmental Duplication (DD)

Affected animals are born with all, or part of, an extra limb.

Chondrodysplasia (CHO)

"Bulldog" calves, the lethal form, are stillborn. Dwarfism of the Dexter breed resulting in shortened legs.

Coat Color (Black/Red)

Red or Black coat color in cattle.

Complex Vertebral Malformation (CVM)

Complex Vertebral Malformation (CVM) is a lethal hereditary syndrome in Holstein animals causing malformed calves that are aborted or die shortly after birth.

Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA)

Also known as “fawn calf”, CA results in an abnormality of skeletal development in Angus cattle.

Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM)

Known as "curly calf", affected animals (those with two copies of the recessive allele) are stillborn and have a twisted or curved spine and extended and contracted limbs.
