Services offered by Genomnz™
Genomnz™ also offers other services that include:
DNA parentage testing is a reliable way of ensuring that pedigrees are correctly recorded to maximise genetic gain and reduce manual recording costs. Accurately knowing the pedigree of your animals is essential for making management decisions to increase production and decrease costs associated with inbreeding and genetic diseases. DNA parentage testing plays an important role in the identification and tracing of animals and is now required by many breeders or associations when selling or registering animals.
Genomnz™ single gene tests can help you to eliminate genetic disease in your herd and increase profitability by breeding animals with favourable production traits.
