遗传评估
Simplot土地 & 牲畜 offers a cooperative 遗传评估 Service for Charolais breeders focused on making genetic improvement in terminal sires.
Simplot土地和牲畜遗传评估服务™
This system combines industry standard purebred phenotyping, 商业生产数据, and genomic profiles to deliver accurate expected progeny differences (EPDs) and a terminal-sire selection index focused on producing commercial calves with superior genetic merit through the feeding period. We are dedicated to making long-term improvements to the genetic merit of Charolais terminal sires for both commercial and purebred applications.
The value in our 遗传评估 Service is derived from an exclusive and extensive database of accurate phenotypes on both purebred and commercial animals specific to Simplot土地 & 牲畜(左&L) and a limited number of cooperating Charolais breeders.
目前有6个,夏洛莱公牛和4,203 Charolais females with phenotypes and genotypes in our exclusive L&L数据库. 另外, commercial phenotypes from weaning to harvest have been captured on 41,241头基因型商业犊牛. Individual feed intakes are measured at an in-house GrowSafe System in Grand View, Idaho. A full list of traits in the genetic evaluation with the average EPD accuracy and heritability is shown in Table 1.

由表型和基因组图谱驱动的准确epd
Offering a cooperative genetic evaluation allows for the capture of maximum genetic variation represented in the Charolais breed. This allows purebred producers to have access to a set of EPDs where every sire is informed by accurate commercial data and a genomic marker panel, which is not offered by the current model of National Cattle Evaluation. Commercial sires in the evaluation average 17 calves with production phenotypes directly informing the EPD.
Our 遗传评估 Service returns a full suite of EPDs accompanied by individual accuracy estimates in addition to a terminal-sire index for feeder calf profitability ($FCP). This index combines purebred and commercial performance to return a selection tool revealing overall genetic merit in commercial calves. The result is an accurate suite of selection tools informed by an extensive database of reliable production data.
Breeders can participate with phenotypes collected on contemporary groups of sires accompanied by a DNA sample or a historical genomic single neucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profile. We are happy to discuss custom applications to fit your breeding program.
期权与定价
一级全子代测试- $8,500/头
A full progeny test provides access to accurate selection tools to create a comprehensive genetic evaluation. 这项服务包括:
- 人工智能对选定人群的影响
- Collection of phenotypes in Table 1 on purebred or commercial animals, 包括GrowSafe采食量
- DNA收集和基因分型服务
- EPD profiles, accuracy estimates, and $FCP index reporting
- Semi-annual updates to EPD profiles, accuracy, and $FCP index
- 自定义表型可选(i.e., sensory profile, bovine respiratory disease resistance, tenderness. 可能需要支付额外费用.)
- Breeder will be required to supply 60 - 75 units of semen.
2级全子代测试- $ 5000 /头
3级全子代测试- $4,000/头
基本评估- $80/头
Purchase of the basic evaluation only requires phenotypes (breeder provided) on a contemporary group of 10 or more Charolais bulls and hair samples for DNA profiling. Phenotypes that can be incorporated into the EPD prediction include BW, WW, ADG, FI, 和超声测量(脂肪), 意图和MARB).
The evaluation will provide EPDs with accuracy estimates for all traits in Table 1 along with the terminal sire index for feeder calf profitability. This evaluation produces accurate EPDs informed by the full database of traits including the 商业生产数据 collected through harvest.
保证
而Simplot L&L will use comprehensive tools and prediction models to assess criteria for making genetic improvements to a breeder’s Charolais herd, our 遗传评估 Services are based upon information and data provided by the breeder. We therefore cannot and do not guarantee any results or specific outcomes and disclaim any and all implied or express representations and warranties. Breeder grants permission to incorporate breeder data into Simplot’s exclusive proprietary database in order for L&L提供遗传评估服务. Data will not be shared with any outside party without prior written consent from the breeder.
