Unlock the Power of Trait Testing with AgBoost

In today’s cattle industry, guessing isn’t a strategy. Whether you’re building a cow-calf operation or optimizing feedlot performance, understanding your herd’s genetics gives you a competitive edge. That’s where AgBoost steps in.

Using advanced genomic data—including IGENITY® trait testing—AgBoost makes it easy to track, interpret, and act on the traits that matter most.

What Are "Traits" and Why Should You Care?

Trait testing identifies the genetic potential of your cattle across a range of performance and reproductive metrics. These include:

• Carcass traits like Ribeye Area, Yield Grade, and Marbling
• Growth traits like Average Daily Gain and Feed Efficiency
• Maternal traits like Heifer Pregnancy Rate and Stayability
• Behavioral traits like Docility
• Health indicators like BVD-PI status and Myostatin variants

These aren’t just numbers—they’re early predictors of how profitable, efficient, and low-risk your animals can be. And thanks to AgBoost, they’re no longer stuck in spreadsheets or siloed in lab reports.

How AgBoost Makes Genetic Data Actually Useful

Getting DNA results is one thing. Knowing what to do with them is another.

AgBoost’s platform turns your IGENITY data into interactive, visual dashboards that simplify decision-making. Instead of flipping through a report, you can:

• Sort animals by key traits—like Tenderness or Feed Efficiency
• Compare potential sires or replacement heifers at a glance
• Make breeding decisions based on balanced, multi-trait analysis
• Predict performance outcomes and improve selection accuracy
• Match animals by complementary traits to improve offspring

This isn’t guesswork—it’s science-backed herd optimization, made simple.

Real-World Impact

Here’s what trait-based management looks like in action:

• A bull scoring a 10 on Marbling and a 9 on Tenderness adds more value per carcass
• A heifer with high Stayability and Maternal Calving Ease reduces long-term replacement costs
• Low-RFI cattle consume less feed for the same weight gain—cutting input costs dramatically

Whether you’re selling genetics, feeding cattle to finish, or just trying to build a more resilient herd, trait insights pay off.

Your Data, Your Decisions

At AgBoost, we believe you should own and understand your data. That’s why we’ve built a platform that keeps things transparent, actionable, and tailored to your operation’s goals.

We're not just interpreting numbers, we're helping you use them to build the herd of the future.
