Genomic Test

Genetic Visions, Inc., tests DNA from cattle to identify genes influencing production traits, hair color and animal health and viability. Alterations in the composition of DNA provide "genetic markers". A genetic marker associated with a trait of interest can be used in cattle breeding programs as a selection tool.

Genetic Visions, Inc., was formed in 1988 as the research arm of Tri-State Breeders, known today as Accelerated Genetics. This subsidiary corporation, wholly owned by Accelerated Genetics, is located in Middleton, Wisconsin. Concentrated research efforts began in 1986 with Dr. C. Michael Cowan, General Manager of Genetic Visions, Inc., working in conjunction with researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
