Bovine Congestive Heart Failure (BCHF)

$8.00

SKU: 44-1074
Best For: Breeding Stock
Type: Add-on Test Only
Pairs with: Igenity Beef

Igenity® BCHF is a genomic test that estimates an animal’s genetic risk for heart failure. Results are provided on a scale of 1–10 and correspond to percentage of BCHF risk. By DNA testing cattle for BCHF, producers can confidently identify animals with the genetics to improve bovine heart health. To select animals that will produce progeny with the best heart health, a lower score is more favorable and a score of 1 is most desirable.

Estimate an animal’s genetic risk for heart failure
Results provided on a scale of 1–10

Reducing the frequency of genes associated with heart failure in the breeding herd is expected to reduce BCHF risk in subsequent calf crops and reduce economic losses due to BCHF in the feedlot. In herds associated with high prevalence of BCHF in finishing cattle, culling of breeding animals with higher Igenity BCHF scores will reduce the frequency of future BCHF cases.

This test profile is available as an add-on product to Igenity Beef.
