IGENITY® from Merial is the most comprehensive DNA profile of its kind.
IGENITY is more than a list of individual tests. From a single hair sample
you can receive a comprehensive DNA profile of economically important traits.
The comprehensive DNA profile from IGENITY is a cost-effective tool that evaluates
genetic potential for:
- Productive Life — balance production with longer-lasting cows
- Dairy Form — indicative of health problems and calving intervals 1-7
- Milk Production Traits — identify potential for milk, protein and fat production
- Coat Colour — identify red genes in black or red cattle
-
Cheese Production — increase cheese-making potential with:
- Kappa casein
- Beta casein
- Beta lactoglobulin
- Genetic recessives — e.g., BLAD
Why you should use IGENITY now:
- Many producers are already gathering samples for some form of DNA testing
- With IGENITY, that same sample can be used to profile multiple genetic markers
of economic importance — and provide a wealth of inside information about an animal's genetic potential
- Profiling heifers early in their lives provides a powerful genetic basis for the many breeding,
selection and marketing decisions you'll make throughout their lifetimes
- Using the power of DNA, IGENITY helps you understand and manage the potential for animals to perform
and transmit traits of economic importance to their offspring
