Make Selection Decisions Earlier And With More Confidence

Genomic Solutions for Commercial Beef Producers

Our suite of genomic selection tools have been a game changer for commercial beef producers. The genomic tools describe the genetic merit of beef animals for economically relevant traits, assisting commercial beef producers to select animals for use in their breeding program with genetics that are most aligned with their breeding objective, while eliminating low genetic merit animals from commercial beef production systems.

Suitable for Wagyu content cattle that are Wagyu x high content Bos taurus genetics.

Suitable for straightbred Angus cattle (87.5% Angus content or greater).

Suitable for use in straightbred Angus steers (87.5% Angus content or greater).

Suitable for tropical & tropically infused straightbred, composite & crossbred beef cattle.

Genomic Testing Your Animals

Ready to collect samples and order genomic testing in your beef enterprise. We have some helpful resources to get you started.

DNA Sampling for Beef & Dairy Cattle

DNA Sampling

Genomic testing of beef animals is most commonly conducted using Allflex Tissue Sampling Units (TSUs).

Allflex TSUs and TSU applicators can be purchased directly from Neogen Australasia. Contact customer service to place your order.

Genomic Testing Process

The process for ordering genomic testing differs if ordering from Neogen Australasia directly, or via a breed association.

Demystifying DNA Technology

A Livestock Breeders Guide to Genomic Selection’ publication provides useful background information regarding genomic selection and its application in a beef enterprise.

So why should you test with Neogen?…

Because There is a Difference

Why send your samples offshore for testing when you can utilise a genomic laboratory based right here in Australia?

Neogen’s new, $11 million, state-of-the-art genomics laboratory is located at Ipswich, west of Brisbane in Queensland, and is the largest livestock genomics laboratory in the southern hemisphere.

Neogen understands that time is money and prides itself on offering the fastest testing turnaround times of any livestock genomics laboratory. Through utilisation of a genomics laboratory located within Australasia, the time taken to send samples to an offshore laboratory is removed, as is the risk of disruption to global mail and courier services causing delays.

By leveraging the operational strength, size and efficiency of our state-of-the-art genotyping laboratory in Ipswich, Queensland, coupled with utilisation of the latest high-end genomic analysis tools and robotic processing, the vast majority of genomic testing is completed within 3-4 weeks of when samples arrive at the lab.

Neogen offers a comprehensive range of premium genomic solutions, ensuring commercial breeders can find a genomic testing option that suits their individual needs.

Neogen also retails sample collection equipment, such as Allflex TSUs and TSU applicators, offering customers a ‘one-stop-shop’ for all their genomic testing needs.

Neogen’s genomic solution portfolio is supported by our experienced sales, technical support and customer service teams who are on hand to offer guidance and support every step of the way.

Our national team of genomic territory managers are located geographically across Australia, and are available to provide Neogen customers with day-to-day assistance, either on- farm or remotely, in the design and execution of their genomic testing program.

Neogen continues to be a long-term provider of genotyping services, laboratory of choice and proud supporter of major breed associations across Australia and New Zealand.
