SUPERCHARGING YOUR BREEDING PROGRAMME WITH SCIENCE

You’re in control with PrecisionDNA

When you genomic test with Cogent, you stay in control. We know genomics is not one-size-fits-all—so you should have the tools to breed the kind of cow that fits your system and your goals.

With PrecisionDNA, you can work with the international evaluations that matter to you, including TPI, NM$, and Canadian proofs such as LPI and Conformation—so you can select on the measures you trust and understand. Alongside a full suite of EcoFeed traits—including EcoFeed Heifer, EcoFeed Cow, ECO2, and Eco$—you are equipped to drive efficiency today and build a herd that is ready for the future.

What’s included in our Standard DNA package
Our Standard DNA package goes further than DNA Pro, combining a full AHDB evaluation, our EcoFeed suite of traits, and selected fertility markers and haplotypes. It is one of the most complete “standard” genomic test options available, giving you the insight to make confident breeding and replacement decisions.

Included traits and evaluations:

  • Full Official UK Evaluation

  • Full EcoFeed Suite of Traits

  • Full RoboticCow Evaluation

  • Milk Proteins: Kappa Casein, Beta Casein, Beta Lactoglobulin

  • Polled test

  • Integrated with Chromosomal Mating and Strategy for practical, data-led mating decisions

As we increase our herd, we want to become more and more productive as well as resilient. Genomic testing is a game changer for the industry and breeding from your best genetics is vital.

WHEN EXPERIENCE MATTERS - TRUST THE EXPERTS

More than a genomic test

As the UK’s number one choice for genomic testing, you also benefit from the support of our nationwide team of Genetic Services Specialists. We help turn genomic results into real-world breeding gains—with consistent advice and practical support from data submission through to decision-making.

Our market-leading Chromosomal Mating programme brings together type scoring, pedigree information, and genomic data in one integrated approach, so your mating plans are built on the full picture, not just a single data point. Genomics delivers its greatest value when it is used as part of a wider toolkit—by combining DNA insight with real-world performance and phenotype data, it becomes a powerful way to supercharge your breeding programme, driving faster progress and more consistent results.
