Dairy producers can speed up the genetic progress of their herds using NMR's new Genetracker; a genomic testing service that identifies the genetic potential of the animal from a very young age. A service already used in the UK for identifying the potential of young bulls, it is now becoming more popular for testing females, particularly heifers.

The youngstock herd is where the highest genetic merit animals are normally held – they are the place where most genetic gain can also be made, using sire matching software from your breeding company. All youngstock records are included as part of the service you receive from NMR and can be found in iReports, as well as a paper ancestry report at birth.Youngstock overview - Breed Society Registration Fees

Looking for the right bull for your cow? You may know the strengths and weaknesses of your cows and have a clear idea of what improvements are required, but do you really know all the genetic waknesses that your calf might inherit? And what is the overall picture of the herd, and how could it change by selecting different bulls? The variety of features and breeding values make SireConnect a valuable tool for dairy herds.Read moreSireConnect overview

The pregnancy milk testing service from NMR uses ELISA technology to detect if an animal is pregnant. Able to be used from 35 days post service, trials have shown good levels of accuracy (97%). No additional sampling is required, the result is reported back via iReports, and animals that are classed as ‘Recheck', are automatically retested free of charge the following month. There is no minimum number of animals to be presented each month and no setup fee.Read morePregnancy Testing overview

IBR is caused by a bovine Herpes virus. It is a highly contagious disease that is associated with abortion and respiratory signs. Transmission of IBR can be via nasal/oral secretions or from bull semen. Once an animal becomes infected, it remains infected for life despite producing what appears to be a successful immune response.Read moreIBR overviewDisease Testing overviewMonitoring disease through a milk sample provides a convenient and non-invasive way to assess the health status of your cows. - Neospora
