GENETIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (GMS)

Because the decision you make today last a life time. The breeding decisions you make influence your herd for many generations to come. In today's dairy industry, just making time for important breeding decisions can be a challenge -

not to mention the right decisions. The Genetic Management System (GMS) saves you time and worry.Since 1968, the Genetic Management System® has been providing the tools to help customers achieve their production, genetic, and financial goals.

GMS is a comprehensive management system that optimizes genetic progress and simplifies the breeding process. GMS offers sound, unbiased mating selections based on economically important production and type traits for longer-lasting cows, as well as a heifer Genomate program based on pedigree and/or body traits. The long-term benefits of GMS include higher profitability through improved herd production averages, increased longevity, and more valuable offspring. It also allows for more efficient management of time and breeding dollars, allowing the customer greater control of their breeding program. In our 40 years of service, over 3 million cows have been mated in over 40 countries with GMS!

 

 

The Genetic Management System contributes to the overall herd success, much like herd health and nutrition programs. GMS allows customers to profitably take advantage of the sires and services ABS offers, saving time and making money for customers to focus on other aspects of their dairy business.
