Neogen Corporation has launched Igenity Enhanced Dairy, a new and progressive genomic data management tool. Igenity Enhanced Dairy is a new digital service that “supports dairy producers to make better selection and mating decisions”. The platform delivers a genomic evaluation of dairy cattle by integrating in-herd phenotypic data, pedigree information, and existing predicted transmitting abilities from the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB). Producers can utilise the data provided by Igenity Enhanced Dairy to assess the genetic potential by pairing each animal's performance data with the results received from an Igenity Select profile. Victor Pedrosa, Neogen's director of genetic prediction, said: "Neogen is thrilled to introduce a useful tool that contributes to the improvement of genetic selection in the dairy cattle market. Data plays a crucial role in decision-making, and the Igenity Enhanced Dairy platform allows producers to take an additional step forward. The traditional genetic evaluations provided by the CDCB have significantly enhanced the genetic progress of several economically valuable traits. Now, with Igenity Enhanced Dairy, we are enabling an extra gain in the dairy selection process."
