Coat Color Dilutor (DL)

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

Digital Subluxation (DS)

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

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.

Igenity® Angus Gold is a powerful, complete genomic profile for commercial (75% or greater) Angus cattle, delivering a wealth of data that corresponds to Angus Association EPDs.

Available with NEOGEN®’s replacement heifer profile, BCHF Breeding Rank is designed to rank replacement heifers from best (1) to worst (9) based on their likelihood of transmitting risk factor alleles down to progeny. Similar to managing coat color, the frequency of BCHF risk factors can be reduced with planned mating. By selecting animals that have lower breeding rank values, producers affected by BCHF can reduce the disease’s impact on subsequent calf crops.
