Breeding decision support

Breeding Analytics

Use available Igenity, ultrasound, and pedigree information to evaluate proposed matings. Each analytical tool addresses a different breeding objective and should be used alongside pedigree knowledge, structural evaluation, and breeder judgment.

How the pairing analysis works

Each selected trait receives equal weight. Igenity traits are standardized across the current Igenity population. Ultrasound traits are standardized against bulls in the same age class using each bull’s latest measurement. Lower backfat is scored favorably.

AHCA lists include animals with an AHCA registration number. An index of 100 is average for its comparison population; 110 is one standard deviation above average. This analysis does not yet account for pedigree relationships, calving ease, structural soundness, semen availability, maternal traits, or breeder judgment.
