MAKE BETTER SELECTION DECISIONS
- INHERIT Select™ is an innovative, multi-breed genomic test and weekly genetic evaluation providing predictions for commercial females including crosses of eight major breeds.
- The test delivers Genomic Expected Progeny Differences (GEPDs) and percentile rankings for 19 traits and five economic indexes as well as sire and dam parentage verification and breed composition.
- Predictions from INHERIT Select provide commercial cow-calf producers with genetic insights to make replacement female selection and breeding decisions.
INHERIT Select is backed by more than 1.3 million straight-bred and cross-bred animal records and gives cow-calf producers the power of GEPDs to make more dependable replacement female selection decisions. These decisions are made easier through:
- Nineteen traits that inform five economic indexes to make information easier to use for selection and breeding decisions
- The Zoetis Total Return (ZTR) index which integrates the full range of economically relevant GEPDs plus economic and production assumptions into one easy-to-use number to help maximize returns
- Two additional indexes, Zoetis Cow|Calf (ZCC) index and Zoetis Feedlot|Carcass (ZFC) index, that further informs decisions for these production segments
- Percentile ranks that benchmark females against other commercial animals in the evaluation
- Sire determination for daughters of HD50K for $Profit and INHERIT Connect tested bulls
- Predictions updated weekly ensuring you have the most up-to-date information
- Basic estimation of breed composition spanning eight major breeds including Angus, Red Angus, Simmental, South Devon, Gelbvieh, Hereford, Charolais and Limousin reported as %Angus, %British, %Continental and %Other that can help harness the power of hybrid vigor to inform selection and breeding decisions for future calf crops
Customers with groups of females that are predominantly 75% and greater black Angus breed composition are advised to use GeneMax® Advantage™.
With INHERIT Select, you can make selection decisions sooner to identify future replacements. Heifers can be tested at weaning or at any time when a tissue sample may be collected. Selecting the right replacements is not only critical to the future of your herd, but it has direct impact on short-term profitability:
- Earlier marketing decisions can help reduce heifer-raising costs and generate revenue.
- Future herd productivity is accelerated by selecting females with favorable predictions.
INHERIT Connect™ is for INHERIT Select customers who have portions of their bull battery that do not have HD50K for $Profit genotypes included in the genetic evaluaions.
INHERIT Connect helps determine sire parentage for heifers tested with
INHERIT Select. With INHERIT Connect, commercial cow-calf producers can:
- Connect candidate sires to tested daughters
- Connect sires and daughters to other genotyped animals in the evaluation
- Enable more complete sire determination across groups of tested heifers
