GeneEze _ GeneEze produces robust, reliable genomic data that enables farmers to breed dairy herds that are healthier, more productive and highly efficient. The independent key to breeding your best possible herd, GeneEze can be used to test animals from the five UK evaluation breeds: Holstein, British Friesian, Guernsey, Jersey and Ayrshire. Easy to interpret and totally independent, GeneEze enables you benchmark your herd and develop your optimal breeding group using the inGENEious selection tools. Genomic data is consistent and highly reliable, allowing for immediate herd improvements that will positively impact production, health, fertility and conformation. Our experience shows that a tissue sampling unit (TSU) delivers the best results for on farm accuracy and successful lab sample completion. The TSU allows you to take a tiny ear notch from any animal of any age, using either a standalone TSU or as part of the official tag pair. The genotype is generated by DNA extraction and processing; it is then submitted to AHDB Dairy and Egenes who generate individual genomic evaluation data focussed on health, production, fertility, PLI and type. Our volume arrangement lets you secure the best possible deal and send in consignments as and when you choose, and we only charge after a successful test has been completed. What is the process? • Contact NMR and order by line number or ear tag ID. • Collect samples through an NMR genotype tag or a Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU); once collected, attach the barcode to the sample sheet. • Keep samples cool and post back to NMR in the pre-paid envelope. • Results are reported through Herd Companion and the inGENEious selection tool, as well as your Herd Genetic Report (assessed through Herd Companion) 6-8 weeks later. 24 NMR Customer Services: 03330 043043 / customerservices@nmrp.com
Did you know? Health Healthier animals live longer, produce more and cost less to look after. Longevity Lower replacement rate equals lower costs per litre and less heifers to rear. Breeding Use sexed semen on best breeding stock to create a superior herd. Production More litres of milk equals lower fixed costs and therefore higher income. £PLI, £ACI, £SCI UK indexes for health, production and longevity simplifies herd selection. Efficiency Every heifer costs the same to rear, so make decisions count. 25
