DNA Testing for Cattle
While DNA testing for cattle breeding is not a service offered by IDENTIGENE, there are many reasons to use it in today’s cattle farming industry. For example, a farmer may test new cattle for paternity in a multiple-bull breading pasture. Reasons for this include determining whether a bull is not breeding as often as others or which bull is producing calves with “defects.”
Other farmers have been known to test the DNA of their cattle before breeding them in order to mitigate passing on less desirable traits. There are a few major traits being tested for currently, one of which is curly calf syndrome. This type of DNA Testing is done in an attempt to ensure that only the best cattle are reproducing.
A Brief History of DNA Testing
Here is a link to a great news article in Time magazine online. It’s called: A Brief History of DNA Testing. It is amazing how far we have come in such a short time. DNA Testing has become necessary for not only criminal cases, but paternity and child support cases around the globe require a conclusive DNA Paternity Test.
