NEOGEN® Genomics offers solutions for a variety of important genetic-health conditions and specific traits that are key to certain breeds. Producers can use this information to solve specific problems and use genomic selection to screen individuals for various conditions or suspected health issues. These can be ordered alongside purchases for parentage or Igenity® genomics profiling, and they can also be ordered individually.
Defect tests for breed associations: Please contact your breed association first. Most require that they are run through their registration process.
