The American Salers Association partners with International Genetic Solutions to process all performance data evaluations for the production of ASA EPDs. The current IGS database includes 23 million records, 700 thousand of which have genotypes, supplied by 23 Breed Associations with one base.
IGS Vision:
International Genetic Solutions (IGS) Delivers the best objectivity described, user-friendly, and science-based genetic predictions to enhance the profitability of beef cattle producers.
Unrivaled Database
Fueled by data from 23 progressive organizations from around the globe, with a combined 23 million animal records.
Proven Genetic Evaluation
Based on three decades of continually improving the genetic evaluation system to accurately account for heterosis and breed differences, the EPD calculation system employed by IGS is the nation’s most respected genetic solution software.
Simplified Selection Tools
While the process of calculating EPD on the world’s largest multi-breed database is complex, IGS partners have taken a revolutionary step by presenting the resulting EPD on a common base; thus, allowing commercial producers to directly compare the genetic merit of animals regardless of breed composition. Whether of your breeding objective is to develop the next generation of purebred seedstock, or reap the proven benefits of structured crossbreeding, IGS provides the industry’s most reliable genetic solution tools to assist in achieving producers’ goals.
