Parentage
Breed Confidently with Parentage Testing
Parentage DNA testing allows you to accurately track your breeding by verifying the relationships between sires, dams, and offspring and helping you make strategic breeding and retention decisions to reach your growth goals. Our products and labs offer fast and efficient parentage testing across species using panels approved by ISAG and the USDA, so you can breed confidently and trust your pedigree records.
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) technology genetically fingerprints each animal, guaranteeing you get precise results. As a leader in genomics, we’ve contributed to research supporting SNP-based parentage tests across species and transitioning to SNPs from Short Tandem Repeat (STR)-based technologies. SNP technology supports many of our parentage tests and can also provide additional data and identify targeted health and trait markers. To get those more comprehensive results, you can easily include additional genomic solutions, like getting SeekSire parentage testing with a complete Igenity® profile for commercial cattle producers.
Bovine
SeekSire™ bovine parentage testing compares DNA markers from bulls or cows to calves to verify breeding records.
Porcine
Porcine SNP parentage tests are available to confirm pedigree records for breeders and breed registries and clubs.
Ovine
Ovine SNP parentage testing confirms pedigrees for herd breeding programs and animal registration programs.
