"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."
