Get a better handle on genomics

Genomics seems to be taking our industry by storm. Producers are testing heifers at an ever-increasing rate. University and industry researchers are touting the benefits of using genomics as an evaluation tool. Now the question is: What to do with all of this genomic data?

Dairy Records Management Systems has the answer. The Heifer Genomics Guide (DHI-428) is now available to producers on DHIA test.

The Guide enables producers and consultants to make informed decisions about heifers from a genomics perspective and will help elevate the value of genetics in U.S. dairy herds.
