Welcome to the ADGA Genetics website, home of tools to help dairy goat owners make informed herd management decisions. Feel free to join if you haven't done so already. There are additional features available to site members.

Pedigrees Search for individual animals registered with the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA).  This can be done by herdname, full registered name, partial name or registration number.  The registration database is updated at the beginning of each month.
Planning "Try out" breedings electronically before really doing the deed.  Planned pedigree, Estimated Transmitting Ability (ETA) and coefficient of inbreeding are calculated based on your choice of Sire and Dam.
PTI/ETA Search for top animals based on 2 calculated indices: Production Type Index (PTI) and Estimated Transmitting Ability (ETA).
Production Search through Predicted Transmitting Ability (PTA) data modeled by AIPL USDA from years of DHI production test records for dairy goats.  Want to improve milk production?  This is the tool to use.
Type AIPL USDA has distilled years of ADGA linear appraisal data into Predicted Transmitting Ability (PTA) values for each trait.  Use this tool to find sires that have shown to make linear trait improvements.
Good Stuff
