At the bottom, there are three light blue gear icons of varying sizes, symbolizing technology or progress, with small spark-like dots around them. The overall design suggests a focus on using data to drive advancements in genetics.

Data Fuels Genetic Evaluations

Dairy genetic improvement has been powered by producers and 60-plus organizations that collect, transmit and deliver high-quality individual cow data into the National Cooperator Database. This database is the engine that helps breed better cows. Its output: U.S genetic evaluations and dairy decision tools that are the global standard – data-driven, future-focused, reliable, and unbiased.

It all starts at the farm. Farm owners and managers at more than 10,000 dairy herds – of all types and sizes – have decided to share performance, or phenotypic, and genotypic information on individual cows into the National Cooperator Database.
