Cattle Genotyping

We provide cattle genotyping services that deliver accurate insights into your animals’ genetic makeup.

Using a simple tissue or hair sample, we analyse key genetic markers linked to traits such as fertility, growth, carcass quality, feed efficiency and disease resistance.

Genotyping gives you the confidence to make informed breeding and management decisions based on data, not guesswork. Our testing helps you identify top-performing animals earlier, confirm parentage, manage the incidence of diseases and accelerate the rate of genetic improvement across your herd.

Genomic Solutions for Seedstock and Commercial Producers

We work closely with Australian and New Zealand registered breed associations and service providers to deliver comprehensive, cost-effective genomic solutions tailored to the needs of seedstock herds. For commercial producers, we offer the same reliable genomic testing services to help manage herd genetics, parentage, and key traits.

Our genomic test bundles include profiling, parentage verification, screening for genetic conditions, and breed-specific traits. Where applicable, we integrate genomic data into industry genetic evaluations to calculate genomically enhanced breeding values (GEBVs)

Our NEW Bovine 85K SNP Chip

Building upon our proven Bovine VersaSNP 50K chip, our 85K chip introduces markers specifically selected for Australian Bos Indicus, Composite and Bos Taurus cattle, delivering more accurate insights for herd improvement.

Cattle Parentage

SNP-Powered Parentage Verification

Whether you are a seedstock or commercial producer, accurate parentage is essential for effective breeding and herd integrity. Using advanced SNP-based genomic testing, we can confirm the sire and dam of every calf, giving you confidence in your records and breeding decisions.

Genetic Conditions

Genetic Insights for Better Breeding Decisions

We offer a range of genetic tests to help manage inherited conditions in both seedstock and commercial beef operations. Depending on the trait or condition of interest, testing can be ordered as a standalone service or combined with one of our breed-specific genomic test bundles.
