By: Devan Funk, Genetic Development Manager

Productive Life, Calving Ease, Udders, Feet and Legs. Arguably the four most critical traits that A.I. sires are scrutinized by with commercial producers.

Genomics Update - What does the future hold for genomic evaluation and you...

By: Dr. Michael Cowan, Vice President Research, Accelerated Genetics, General Manager, Genetic Visions, Inc.

January, 2009 marked the start of genomic evaluations in the US as an official genetic evaluation for dairy cattle. The Holstein breed provided the foundation for this new method of estimating the genetic merit of individual animals by assigning economic values to changes in the animal's DNA structure. Over this past year, sufficient animals in the Jersey and Brown Swiss breeds have been genotyped to include them as part of official genomic evaluations issued by USDA-AIPL. Collectively, nearly 40,000 animals have provided single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes to the US database, a database that is shared, through cooperative agreements, with Canada for the Holstein breed...READ MORE!
