Using the power of DNA, IGENITY helps you understand and
manage the potential for animalsto perform and transmit traits
of economic importance.
Using the power of DNA, IGENITY helps you understand and
manage the potential for animals to perform and transmit
traits of economic importance. The comprehensive profile
includes:
Carcass Composition
The IGENITY profile scores for Yield Grade, Hot Carcass Weight, Ribeye Area,
and Backfat Thickness are calculated using multiple DNA markers that reflect
the animal’s genetic potential for these traits. These results provide a more
complete picture Result of the Carcass Composition potential for an animal.
Gain
Score Choice Grade Thickness Area
Carcass Quality
The IGENITY profile scores for Quality Grade and Marbling reflect extremely
powerful multiple marker analyses which are indicative of an animal’s potential
for intramuscular fat deposition and Choice or better Quality Grade
carcasses. The IGENITY profile for Quality Grade reflects the percent Choice
or higher – so, on average, a pen of animals with a score of 10 would have
44.5% more animals grade Choice or better than a pen of animals with a
score of 1. The IGENITY Marbling Scores translate to the 1 to 999 scale, where
400 represents low Choice.
