Welcome to Bovigen's website...

     Bovigen LLC, is an innovation driven genomics company developing a portfolio of world class DNA technology products. Our mission is to promote excellence in the beef industry through the discovery, independent validation and commercialization of genetic tools that add value and enable producers to positively impact the economics of the beef industry. By utilizing a simple DNA test, producers in all sectors of the beef industry are able to make better management decisions that will improve the quality of their herds and create a long-term positive economic impact.

     From the World’s very first DNA diagnostic test for cattle – Thyroglobulin – now part of GeneSTAR® Quality Grade – to our latest release of GeneSTAR® Feed Efficiency , the first and only DNA test that can identify an animal’s genetic ability to efficiently convert feed; Bovigen has been and will continue to be the leading supplier of DNA technology to the beef industry.

         Research is the lifeblood of DNA diagnostic testing. As producers and feeders increase their utilization of this technology, they will also gain greater understanding of it's uses and limitations. They will in turn demand additional markers with greater impact on each trait as well as markers for additional traits such as disease resistance and fertility.

     Bovigen stands ready to address these needs. By combining our own efforts with the efforts of others around the world, such as our first right of refusal to commercialize for the Americas outcomes from a package of technology being developed by a Consortium of CSIRO, the Beef CRC I and II partners and Meat and Livestock Australia, we stand at the forefront of this exciting new technology. Bovigen’s most recent Research & Development project focuses on the National Carcass Merit Project. This project was a ground-breaking collaboration between a group of Universities, led by the Texas A&M University System, and fourteen Breed Associations. Coordinated by the NCBA, the project was primarily funded by the Beef Checkoff Program and is a continuation of work from Texas A&M’s Angleton Project. Bovigen will now take the lead in the next step of this extensive research program and will turn this project into a set of real world genomic tools that the average beef producer can use to positively impact his bottom line.
