Collect superior samples for your livestock genetics

All genetic applications start with the collection of DNA samples. Blood samples are expensive to collect, as well as complex and costly to ship, store and process. Hair follicles and ear punches are inefficient to process and can provide low quality and quantity DNA, resulting in failed samples and a requirement to recollect, incurring additional cost, effort and time. Performagene•LIVESTOCK provides an ideal solution for producers, breed associations and processing labs.

Features and Benefits – Producers

  • Cost effective sample collection at the speed of commerce
  • Collect high quality, high quantity DNA
  • Reliable and easy-to-use for unrestrained animals in any collection environment; in the field or in the barn

Features and Benefits – Breed Associations

  • Cost effective administration of samples due to integrated kit
  • Collection kit is barcoded for integration into animal identification systems
  • Sample can be mailed using the standard postal system

Features and Benefits – Processing Labs

  • Cost effective extraction with high-throughput processing
  • Efficient sample preparation with the option of DNA purification or "Quick to PCR" processing
  • Decrease cost and complexity of sample management with room temperature stability of samples
  • Very low bacterial content resulting in fewer failed samples
  • Proven performance on a range of downstream applications, including SNP genotyping, microarray and microsattelite

"Performagene•
LIVESTOCK's ease of use compared to tail hair, blood or ear punches allowed us to collect DNA from over 150 animals in less than one hour. For any producer, it is critical that we are working at the speed of commerce, and a product like this enables the lab to provide results to us faster and eliminates any need to re-collect which is common with other methods. Great livestock genetics are much easier to produce if the foundation is a solid base of high quality stock. The use of Performagene•
LIVESTOCK gives us the data we need to create superior livestock products through improved breeding programs."
