DNA Testing Offers Producers a Tool to Make Better Informed Decisions About their Cattle Herds


Igenity is a part of the Merial lineup of products and services for animal agriculture- and offers DNA testing for the cattle industry. DNA testing offers cattle producers the chance to select animals that offer the greatest promise to improve their herds and steer clear of any potential genetic problems that pop up from time to time.


Today on the Beef Buzz, we begin a two part conversation with Dr. Kevin DeHaan of Igenity about their services and how they have gone from testing for one marker to over 50,000. The amount of information that can be gleaned from this type of project is staggering.


To larn more about Igenity, click here to visit their website.


The Beef Buzz is a regular feature heard on radio stations around the state on the Radio Oklahoma Network- but is also a regular audio feature found on this website as well. Check out our archives for older Beef Buzz shows covering the gamut of the beef cattle industry today. Just click on the Beef Buzz button found on the left hand side of any page on this website.
