USDA-CDCB Genomic Tests
GeneSeek serves as a nominator to submit animals to the USDA-CDCB (Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding) national U.S. evaluation.
The CDCB genomic fees are structured in such a manner that those who are providing the most data or information of the greatest value to the cooperator database are rewarded for their contribution. The fee schedule encourages contributors to not only maintain but grow the amount and kinds of data they are contributing to the system to improve genomic estimates in the future.
All required Female Fees and Initial Male Fees will be collected by the nominator ( GeneSeek ). AI Service Fees will be collected by NAAB. All fees collected will be forwarded to CDCB. The Female Fee and Initial Male Fee will be charged only on the first genotype submitted for that animal.
For the fees for submitting genomic data to the CDCB, please see the CDCB Fee Schedule
