From DNA sample
to breeding decision.

Genomic selection is a breeding method that uses DNA marker data, distributed across the entire genome, to predict the genetic value of an animal for traits that matter economically — milk yield, fertility, health, longevity. Unlike traditional pedigree-based BLUP, genomic selection captures Mendelian sampling variance (the randomness in inheritance between parent and offspring), enabling more accurate predictions from younger animals — before they have their own performance records.

Breedi supports standard European dairy breeds (Holstein-Friesian, Brown Swiss, Montbéliarde, and others), as well as tropical and crossbred populations including Girolando, Gir Leiteiro (Gyr dairy), Brahman crossbreeds, and Simmental. We actively develop reference populations for underserved breeds — particularly in Latin America, the Gulf, and South Asia.

ICAR (the International Committee for Animal Recording) is the global standard-setting body for animal recording and evaluation. ICAR accreditation means our genomic evaluation methodology has been independently reviewed and verified against the international criteria for accuracy, traceability, and transparency. Breedi is one of only 26 ICAR-accredited genomic evaluation centres in the world.

The animal owner. Always. Breedi's farmer-first data ownership policy means that the farm or herd operator retains full rights to their raw genotype data, accessible via one-click export at any time. We do not sell, aggregate, or share genotype data with third parties — including semen companies or commercial breeding organisations — without explicit written consent from the data owner.

Breedi provides a documented REST API for laboratory integration, supporting standard genotype file formats (VCF, PLINK, proprietary chip formats). Most laboratory integrations are operational within 2–4 weeks. For existing Eurofins Genomics laboratory customers, integration is streamlined further through our partnership infrastructure.
