It’s easy to get started.

Getting started with genetic testing may be quicker and easier than you think. All you need is a tissue sample collected whenever you’re working with your herd. Relative to all the other data you collect as a seedstock breeder, a tissue sample is simple. The best part? You can receive your results in as little as four weeks.
