The first and only genomic profile designed for crossbred commercial cattle, Igenity® Beef utilizes DNA to predict genetic merit in both heifers and steers, providing an additional heifer selection tool to cattle producers. Producers also use Igenity in the production of high-value feeder calves and to score commercial bulls being used as sires. Now powered in partnership with International Genetic Solutions (IGS), Igenity Beef is backed by the world’s largest multi-breed genetic evaluation.

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 with lower breeding rank values, producers affected by BCHF can reduce the disease’s impact on subsequent calf crops.
