Elevate your seedstock herd
Each calf crop represents genetic advancement in your herd, building on the best your operation has to offer. Take your selection decisions to the next level through our genomic technology.
Providing tools for progress.
AGI® offers a suite of testing options that establish genomically-enhanced EPDs or GE-EPDs, helping you measure the genetic merit of breeding stock. Results can also help determine parentage or test for genetic conditions, giving you key pieces of information to use in the management of your herd.
Evolving with technology.
Genomic testing technology has evolved since genomic profile results were first incorporated into Angus EPDs in 2010. The hundreds of thousands of high-density tests submitted by Angus breeders to date have helped improve tools for seedstock herds.
Your testing options
To best serve the membership, the Association and AGI are currently only accepting sample collection types in the form of Allflex Tissue Sample Units (TSUs) as well as hair or blood samples on appropriate DNA cards and semen.
