Our NextGen Sequencing portfolio ranges from SkimSEEK to Whole Genome Sequence (WGS) and is ideally suited to use by research organisations who are looking for an additional depth of genomic information.
We provide a range of customised genetic evaluation services, from the development of genomics-only selection tools, to the establishment of a single-step genetic evaluation where genomically-enhanced breeding values are calculated on a routine basis.
Neogen Australasia offers custom genomic testing solutions for organisations with specific needs not met by our standard genomic tests. Our experts will design a test bundle tailored to your unique goals.
Testing to identify animals persistently infected (PI) with BVDV can be conducted as an optional add-on when ordering other genomic tests. BVDV testing can be conducted from the same DNA sample (i.e. an additional DNA sample is not required).
Tenderness testing evaluates the marker status at three major locations (Calpain316, Calpain4751, and Calpastatin) in the bovine genome known to have an impact on meat tenderness.

The Coat Colour (Black/Red) test enables breeders to determine whether a phenotypically black animal is homozygous black (i.e. does not carry genes for red coat colour) versus those that are carrying genes for red coat colour.
-
Developed in Australia, by Australians, for use in Australian Angus cattle. Suitable for straightbred Angus cattle (87.5% Angus content or greater).
Developed in Australia, by Australians, for use in Wagyu content beef cattle. Suitable for Wagyu content cattle that are Wagyu x high content Bos taurus genetics.
Neogen Australasia offers a range of tests to assist with the management of genetic conditions in both seedstock and commercial beef operations.
The Bovine Horn-Poll test involves testing animals that are phenotypically polled, and identifying those that are predicted to be homozygous polled animals.

Neogen Australasia has worked closely with registered breed associations to create comprehensive and cost-effective genomic solutions tailored specifically for seedstock cattle of each breed.
