Why Does DNA Matter?

DNA testing has become a cornerstone of the registered cattle industry, offering breeders unparalleled accuracy, herd improvement, and enhanced marketability. By providing genetic insights, DNA allows for smarter decisions that drive profitability while preserving breed integrity.

Key Benefits of DNA Testing

• Parentage Verification: Ensures the accuracy of pedigrees by confirming the true sire and dam of a calf.

• Genetic Trait Identification: Detects valuable traits such as disease resistance, carcass quality, growth rate, and milk production for better breeding decisions.

• Enhanced EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences): Combines DNA with performance data to predict offspring performance more accurately.

• Genetic Defect Detection: Identifies carriers of genetic defects to prevent health issues in future generations.

• Breed Improvement: Enables the rapid advancement of herd quality by selecting animals with superior genetic potential.

• Marketing Advantages: DNA-verified cattle command higher market value due to proven genetic merit and buyer confidence.
