Neogen® Beef Genomics
Genomic Testing in Cattle
Genomic testing is a DNA test that verifies the genetic merit and performance of cattle. The genomic profiles developed by Neogen allow cattle producers to make strategic decisions and effectively select the cattle that fit their operation’s goals.
- Provides tangible results to differentiate the value of cattle and improve each generation
- Easily eliminate uncertainty and reduce risk by identifying the genetic potential for their most valuable traits, from calving ease to hot carcass weight
Taking a sample is as easy as tagging a calf. Learn more about how to take a TSU or other sample options.
Cow Calf Production
Igenity® Beef is the first genomic profile designed for crossbred commercial cattle. This tool utilizes DNA to predict genetic merit in both heifers and steers, providing an additional heifer selection tool to cattle producers.
- Provides 17 maternal, performance, and carcass traits, along with parentage
Additional tests:
- Envigor™
- Bovine Congestive Heart Failure (BCHF)
Feedlot Management
