MEET THE MOST COMPLETE GENOMIC TEST ON THE MARKET

PrecisionDNA Pro: the complete genomic insight for your breeding programme

When you genomic test with Cogent, you retain full control over selection emphasis—because the “right” cow is system-specific. PrecisionDNA is designed as a decision-support platform, integrating genomic, pedigree, and performance context to deliver robust, actionable genetic insight for herds targeting the highest level of breeding performance.

PrecisionDNA provides access to leading international evaluation frameworks - including TPI and NM$, £PLI, alongside Canadian proofs such as LPI and Conformation - enabling consistent benchmarking and alignment with your breeding objectives. The platform is complemented by our EcoFeed trait suite (EcoFeed Heifer, EcoFeed Cow, ECO2, Eco$), supporting selection for biological efficiency and long-term sustainability.

What’s included in our Standard DNA package
Our Standard DNA package delivers a comprehensive set of evaluations and targeted markers, combining a full AHDB evaluation, the complete EcoFeed suite, selected fertility markers, and a full package of genetic abnormalities and haplotypes. This supports high-accuracy selection decisions across production, functionality, and specialised management systems—while reducing genetic risk in mating plans.

Included traits and evaluations:

  • Full Official UK Evaluation

  • Full EcoFeed Suite of Traits

  • Full RoboticCow Evaluation

  • Milk Protein variants: Kappa Casein, Beta Casein, Beta Lactoglobulin

  • Polled status

  • Genetic abnormalities and haplotypes, including HCD, HH1–HH6, Muscle Weakness, Hair Colour, and more

  • Integrated with Chromosomal Mating and Strategy, enabling multi-source optimisation using genomic, pedigree, and phenotype inputs for structured mating plans

At Cogent, we work hard to ensure you are not missing critical risk information—because responsible breeding starts with transparency. We believe you should have the full genetic picture of what you are introducing into your gene pool, including known adverse haplotypes and key genetic markers. That is why DNA Pro is an important tool for any breeder who wants to manage risk, protect long-term progress, and breed with complete confidence.

Having access to genomic information is helpful, as genomic data identifies the best performing animals before they calve. This also ensures only the best are retained, whereas in the past some of these may have been unknowingly sold.

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.
