A simple breeding tool for Australian dairy herds

GENESCREEN is a great dairy herd management tool. All you need to do is let us access to your herd test records and then pick the bulls to use.

GENESCREEN  simplifies breeding decisions. It screens the pedigrees of your cows and determines suitable matings. The result is a genetic profile for each cow that includes workability traits, somatic cell count, type characteristics, fertility, genetic defects plus an in-breeding analysis.

GENESCREEN benefits:

Prevent costly inbreeding mistakes.

Prevent doubling up of negative type traits from both the cow and the bull.

No on farm evaluation, but the herd needs to be herd recording or have pedigrees available.

Bulls from any source can be considered, including overseas bulls.

Genetic defects in pedigrees are considered (avoid doubling up on CVM or BLAD suspect pedigrees with carrier bulls).

GENESCREEN mating sheets are easy to read for owners, staff or AI technicians.

GENESCREEN overall genetic profiles can be monitored year by year to track genetic progress.

GENESCREEN helps improve accuracy of data and herd information, adding value to your herd.

GENESCREEN helps identify genetically superior cows and cow families, adding to breeding interest and sale potential.  

Both proven and progeny test bulls can be included in your report.
