GeneMax Advantage delivers three economic index scores that allow for easier, more dependable decision-making:
Total Advantage – Select the best overall heifers with one simple number. This index predicts differences in profitability from genetic merit across all economically relevant traits captured in the Cow Advantage and Feeder Advantage index scores.
Cow Advantage – Select heifers that are superior at calving and developing the most valuable calves through weaning. This index ranks females for differences in the following maternal traits: Calving Ease Maternal (CEM), Weaning Weight (WW), Heifer Pregnancy (HP) and Milk and Mature Weight (MW).
Feeder Advantage – Select heifers that are superior at producing the most valuable heifers from weaning to CAB Carcass. This index ranks females for differences in terminal traits, including: Dry Matter Intake (DMI), Carcass Weight (CW), Marbling and Yield Grade traits, as valued on CAB type grids.
