* Monitoring Genetic Defects
A new policy went into effect June 1. Check the epd/pedigree display from 'Animal Search' to see how the genetic status is reported for each animal using color codes to help identify the status. Animals can be reported as tested free (green), tested carrier (red), carrier in their lineage (pink) or from risk population (yellow) for that defect.
Before new progeny can be reported, sires and donor dams must be tested for a genetic defect if they have a carrier in their lineage (pink) or come from a risk population (yellow) for that genetic defect and have not already been tested. [more information ..]
