Translating SNPs into Molecular Breeding Value (MBV)
• Training - Acquire 50K SNP genotypes on discovery population– High accuracy, actively used animals
• Look for SNPs that affecting traits of interest– EPDs or phenotypes, independently for each trait
• Final result: Equation that translates SNPs into MBVs• MBVs blended with EPDs to have Genomically-
Enhanced EPDs (GE) • Validated

Benefits of Genotyping
1. Increase accuracy of EPDs for young (unproven) animals.
2. Parentage (5 to 10% of reported parents are wrong)!
– DNA on parents must be on file in order to confirm the parentage

Who should you test?
• AI sires and donor dams: Required– GGP-HD (High Density: 50K, 80K, 150K)– Maintain training population with high impact animals
• Replacement heifers/cows, bull calves (not considered for AI prospects)– GGP-LD (Low Density: 30K)– Nearly equivalent improvement in the accuracy of
EPDs – What would you pay to progeny test these animals?

Ordering a Kit
Call 406.587.4531 or email [email protected]
Supply ASA with the following information: ASA registration/on file number *animal must be in
the database to request GGP-HD or GGP-LD Tattoo, sex, sire and dam's registration numbers
Indicate whether a blood blotter or hair collector card needs to be sent. Hair cards are billed an additional $3.00/sample.
![Page 24: Genomics. Finding True Genetic Merit 2 Dam EPD Sire EPD Pedigree Estimate EPD TRUE Progeny Difference Mendelian Sampling Effect Adapted from Dr. Bob Weaber](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/56649edb5503460f94beb6a2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Tips: Make collecting DNA samples SOP
Double check the ID/Tattoo with animal when collecting
Remove dirt/manure before collection
Blood cards Let cards dry completelyDo not stack cards until dry
Hair cardsMust contain root bulbs(nucleus)Pencil thickness of hair

When
• Prior to making your selection decisions
• Takes 3 to 4 weeks for results
• If any problems with parentage, this will take even longer
• DO NOT WAIT UNTIL LAST MINUTE!
![Page 27: Genomics. Finding True Genetic Merit 2 Dam EPD Sire EPD Pedigree Estimate EPD TRUE Progeny Difference Mendelian Sampling Effect Adapted from Dr. Bob Weaber](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032709/56649edb5503460f94beb6a2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Take Home Points• Buys you time• Improve the accuracy of the EPDs
– Time testing so you use these higher accuracy EPDs in your selection decisions!
• Confirm parentage• Does not replace the need to collect actual
measurements• Future methods of using the DNA will be even better at
predicting breeding value• IGS has the largest total number of cattle (16 million) in
beef genetic evaluation. BUT, we are still well under AAA in numbers of genotyped animals and carcass records.

When is DNA Testing Required? GGP-HD
AI Sires, includes in herd use. Donor Dams, even if you're not selling embryos.
Parent Verification(PV) Purchased embryos, owner of ET calf not associated with the
owner of the donor dam. Genetic Defect Testing
All sires and donor dams where TraitTrac shows Population Risk(PR), Carrier in Lineage(CL) or Documented Carrier in Lineage(DL) for any defects ASA currently tracks.

How do we know if MBV are reliable?
• Validation• Acquire 50K SNP genotypes on a population of
animals independent of discovery population• Evaluate how well the MBV predicts genetic merit
from traditional EPDs or phenotypes– Genetic correlation between MBV and the trait
