Services
Farm Genomic Consulting
A test result alone is not a decision. Our consulting line combines genomic data with the operation's goals, capacity, and economic conditions.
Scope of Service
| Item | What We Do |
|---|---|
| Herd status analysis | We extract the current herd's genetic profile and position its strong and weak traits relative to the breed average. |
| Breeding goal definition | We jointly determine index weights based on the operation's economic priorities. Milk-focused, fertility-focused, or balanced goals require different weight sets. |
| Heifer selection plan | Which heifer stays in the breeding herd and which goes to the commercial group or is culled is planned taking capacity and heifer requirements into account. |
| Mating plan | Bull–cow mating that maximizes the expected offspring index under a relatedness constraint. Carrier overlaps are automatically excluded. |
| Relatedness and inbreeding control | Monitoring the herd's inbreeding level and keeping the annual rate of increase within the target band. |
| KPI tracking and annual progress report | Annual measurement of genetic progress, herd average index, relatedness trend, and selection accuracy. |
| Bull/semen selection support | Independent evaluation of the semen options on the market according to the herd's needs. The recommendation is independent of any commercial relationship. |

Frequently Asked Questions
No. We are not a distributor for any genetics company. So that our mating recommendations can remain independent, we generate our revenue solely from analysis, diagnostics, software, and consulting.
This is a design decision more than a commercial preference: for a mating recommendation to be trustworthy, the party making it must not earn revenue from sales.
No. Your data is not shared or sold without your written consent. Anonymous aggregate use aimed at strengthening the reference population is carried out only with separate, explicit consent; declining to give consent does not affect your service.
Contact and Getting Started
The process begins with a non-binding needs consultation. In this meeting, we discuss your herd's current status, your goals, and your budget framework; together we determine the package that suits you.
