Neogen Launches Igenity BeefXDairy DNA Test To Provide Detailed Breed Composition Data To Customers

Neogen Corporation NEOG has launched Igenity BeefXDairy, a new and novel leading genomic test for beef-on-dairy calves.
The Igenity BeefXDairy is primarily a DNA Test for beef-on-dairy cattle that gives access to the Igenity Terminal Index, which can market a calf's growth potential to buyers.
The DNA test provides producers insight into crucial traits such as carcass quality, average daily gain, etc.
The test will also allow buyers to receive breed composition data (e.g., percentage beef vs. percentage dairy) to help them best manage those cattle for optimal health and maximum growth.
With increased DNA testing, Neogen will provide improved quality, efficiency, and sustainability within beef production systems, the company said.
"Neogen is excited to be the first to offer up a commercial genomic tool for this growth cattle market," said Shelby Smith, Bovine Genomics Product Manager at Neogen.
"This product offering is a massive step forward in helping to characterize beef-on-dairy animals and allowing dairy producers, cattle buyers, and, ultimately, consumers of beef products to benefit."
