I sent you a direct message. Not sure if you've seen it?

With regards to your question about those that do not have sheep linked to the reference population.... Only animals from breeds that are part of the reference population (Romney, Coopworth, Perendale, Composite) can get genomically enhanced breeding values. However, we can deliver parentage...

We just have the one 50k test at $29 which includes everything stated above. Our aim was to make it as simple and cost-effective as possible for farmers so they can get everything they'd want to be included in one test. As well as this, lower marker tests are starting to be phased out...

I'm away at a work conference for the rest of the week so won't be able to answer calls. However, you can contact me by email at [email protected] and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

No worries. Oh right! Well, I'll keep you posted if I get a reply from them. Thank you, I appreciate your reply.

I have been in touch with Signet and they informed me that they are not presently producing genomic EBVs. Through their central progeny test they are storing high-density genotypes, using Neogen in Ayr – and some low-density ones too, checking some parentage. However, they are not doing any...

No worries. Any other queries or suggestions fire away!

Neogen is the lab. The turnaround time is about 4 weeks from receiving the sample. Yes, they are compatible with those in SIL. I will have to look into Signet and Sheep Ireland and get back to you.

We’re excited to introduce our GGP Ovine 50K DNA test for the New Zealand sheep breeders. Our aim is to make it as cost-effective and simple as possible with no ‘add ons’ and extra costs. Just one test with everything you’d want included at 1/6 of the price of other 50k tests on the market ($29...

Okay, I'll look into it. Is this something you would be interested in at that price? (had some good feedback but wanted to ask more people to truly gauge if there's a market for it)

We are about to launch our 50k sheep DNA test. So far we are looking at reporting on the following traits: Parentage Yellow fat gene test Fecundity gene test Booroola gene test Loin muscle gene test Meat and fat yield gene test Increased number of lambs born gene test Microphthalmia gene test...
