The Angus HeiferSELECT genomic tool
Supplied by Angus Australia
HeiferSELECT better informs the selection of replacement heifers in commercial beef breeding operations.
Angus HeiferSELECT is an advanced genomic tool to make better-informed decisions on the selection of replacement heifers. HeiferSELECT provides genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for a range of growth, health and fertility traits in Angus heifers.
HeiferSELECT can add to the precision of selecting commercial replacement heifers that match producers’ overall breeding objectives, compared to phenotypic measurements alone.
The additional information Angus HeiferSELECT gives can help boost the productivity and profitability of commercial Australian Angus herds.
Angus HeiferSELECT is available through Angus Australia.
