In the breed association world, the level of collaboration has been somewhere between barely breathing and dead. That said, few if any commercial producers would disagree that our industry would be better served through increased levels of collaboration.  IGS is an outgrowth of listening to the commercial industry.

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 nearly 20 progressive organizations from around the globe, with a combined 20 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.
