Genetic Selection

Genetic selection is a powerful tool in building a healthier, more productive, and environmentally sustainable dairy herd. Identifying and breeding cows with traits that enhance efficiency, health, and lower environmental impact can significantly improve overall herd performance. However, achieving this requires consistent, accurate, and detailed data on milk quality and cow health.



Labby’s advanced milk analysis system provides a robust platform to support genetic selection by delivering real-time and historical data on milk composition, yield, and somatic cell count (SCC). This wealth of information allows farmers to identify cows with superior performance traits, such as high feed efficiency, low SCC, and optimal milk yield. With Labby’s continuous monitoring, farmers can also track trends over time, ensuring that selected traits persist across generations. Additionally, Labby’s data export capabilities make it easier to collaborate with genetic consultants, aligning breeding decisions with long-term herd improvement goals. By enabling informed genetic selection, Labby helps farmers build more resilient, efficient herds while contributing to sustainability and profitability in dairy farming.
