Unrivaled Database — Fueled by data from 12 progressive breed associations across the United States and Canada that combine for over 16 million total animal records with over 400,000 new animals added annually. Not only is the IGS database unmatched in size, but it’s also unsurpassed in quality as the vast majority of new records are derived from IGS partners who implement whole herd reporting. Proven Genetic Evaluation System —Based on three decades of continually improving the genetic evaluation system to accurately account for heterosis and breed differences, the EPD calculation system employed by IGS is the nation’s most respected genetic solution software. Simplified Selection Tools —While the process of calculating EPDs on the world’s largest multi-breed database is complex, the IGS partners have taken a revolutionary step by presenting the resulting EPDs on a common base; allowing commercial producers to compare the genetic merit of animals regardless of breed composition.
