IGENITY® - BEEF
The Most Comprehensive DNA Profile Available

IGENITY delivers the most comprehensive genetic profile available today — all from a single
DNA sample. This information helps beef producers make more informed and confident decisions about breeding, managing and marketing cattle earlier than ever before — and throughout an animal's lifetime

IGENITY for BEEF:

The comprehensive inside information provided by an IGENITY profile not only helps every stakeholder in the beef production chain achieve their own goals — it also provides the first common language for communicating value throughout the chain.
Scores from IGENITY were confirmed by a 50,000-animal study that followed animals through the production chain — and compared scores with phenotypes for traits of economic importance. In this study there was a significant association of scores from IGENITY to phenotypic and final yields.
