Inbreeding Analysis
Healthy populations depend on genetic diversity. We assess inbreeding using genomic data, helping you safeguard health, fertility and performance across generations.
A clearer view of genetic relationships
Pedigree records provide an estimate of inbreeding. Genomic data allows it to be measured directly. It can identify relationships that pedigree records may not capture, and shows how genetic diversity is changing across a population. This supports informed decisions that balance genetic progress with long-term health and resilience.
Key Questions We Address
- What is the genomic inbreeding level of each animal?
- How is genetic diversity changing across the population?
- Which matings help maintain appropriate levels of inbreeding?
- How can genetic diversity be preserved alongside continued genetic progress?
What We Do
Insight and guidance to support your breeding decisions.
Genomic inbreeding
Assess each animal's inbreeding from genomic data, complementing pedigree records.
Population diversity
Monitor genetic diversity across your herd, stud or breed over time.
Mating guidance
Estimate the inbreeding of planned offspring before breeding decisions are made.
Long-term planning
Establish diversity objectives and review progress across generations.
How We Work
Genotype
We genotype your animals in our laboratory.
Measure
We calculate genomic inbreeding and relatedness for each animal.
Analyse
We assess diversity trends across your population.
Advise
We provide mating recommendations and diversity objectives that support long-term population health.
