Download the ICBF HerdPlus app to quickly track the sample through the full genotyping process of animals and submission of calves for the NGP, from the sample being requested, received on farm, sample sent to lab, sire and dam verification to receiving a full genomic evaluation. The genotype tracking shows an estimate of when you will receive a result for the sample.

The Action List available on the app will highlight which calves require an action to complete registration and will detail what action is required! Make sure you have the latest version downloaded to access the newest features on the app.
