inSire – Genomic Selection by CRV AmBreed

1 June 2008 saw the global launch of inSire, CRV Group’s ground-breaking Genomic Selection technology that allows CRV and its daughter companies to bring advanced genetics to the market far earlier than ever before.

New Zealand was chosen to be the first country in the world to launch inSire, and thus the first to have available a genomically selected team of young sires. In traditional progeny testing programs, young bulls are unproven until daughter proofs are available to determine the genetic merit of those bulls. It takes around 5 years before a bull can be considered “proven” and marketed as such.

Genomic selection technology greatly enhances the reliability of a young bull’s genetic information. Bulls selected using this information will be known as inSire bulls to distinguish them from proven and unproven bulls. Here in New Zealand, inSire Packs are available in teams of six and eight. The Teams focus on key trait “packages” designed to address the needs of farmers operating under particular sets of conditions.

The days of a one-cow suits all herd are long gone – differences in production systems, geography and climate mean that farmers’ need different cows for different situations. It is impossible for a single objective to fulfull the needs of 11,630 dairy farmers spread from Cape Reinga to the Bluff.

Whatever your farming system, whatever our breeding objectives, we can give you the choice to suit your needs.
