Genomics fees
The set-up of genomic evaluations by AHDB Dairy is heavily subsidised by farmers’ levy; however, it is up to the breeding companies and breed society to collect genotypes. Fees for this fall to users of the service.
Several companies now provide genomic testing in the UK for breeds with established genomic evaluations. AHDB charges a small fee for each female genomically evaluated. Bulls also incur a fee to make their genomic proofs official.
