Newly updated Norwegian Red genetic evaluations for December 2022 are now available. Genomic BV for NR sires has proven to have outstanding reliability as BV for NR GS sires has been an excellent predictor of future daughter-based BV. Most breeding values (BV) for recently and currently exported sires changed very little since the August proof run, showing the stability of Geno’s EBV’s.
Geno has signed a partnership distribution agreement with Hybrid Genetics, to supply Norwegian Red genetics in Germany and Austria.
The growing interest in polled genetics
The Official Norwegian Red (NR) genetic evaluations for August 2022 are now available.
Norwegian Red sires can be successfully used in almost all herd management systems and in the varied environmental conditions typically seen in modern dairy herds. In general, all NR sires will significantly improve health, fertility, calf survival and reduce body weight (resulting in lower feed consumption) when mated to Holstein cows.
Official Norwegian Red (NR) genetic evaluations for August 2019 are now available from Geno, and exciting new bulls are now available to international markets. Many genomic selected sires (GS) are available in conventional and REDX semen.
Norwegian Red announces REDX™, Norwegian Red sexed genetics and powered by IntelliGen® Technologies, is available exclusively through their HYVIG crossbreeding platform with ABS Global.
