JMC Genetics & Tithebarn

Bringing genetics and nutrition together for better herd performance

At JMC Genetics, we believe the best breeding decisions start with understanding the whole farm.

That means looking beyond genetics alone and considering how breeding choices work alongside nutrition, fertility, health, management and long-term herd goals.

Our partnership with Tithebarn brings together expertise across livestock genetics and animal nutrition, giving farmers access to a more joined-up approach to improving herd performance.

TOGETHER

The partnership allows us to look at genetics and nutrition as complementary parts of the same breeding and performance strategy.

Why does this matter?

Genetics can play an important role in the future performance of a herd - but genetics don't work in isolation.

Supporting the whole breeding programme

JMC Genetics provides access to a diverse portfolio of genetics, including:

Holstein

Reliable milk production, strong frames and longevity.

Fleckvieh

Robustness, fertility and functionality.

Norwegian Red

Fertility, health and functional efficiency.

Beef Genetics

Supporting efficiency, structural strength and carcass value within dairy and cross-breeding systems.

Montbéliarde

Strength, durability and balanced production.

Our approach is not about finding the highest-ranking bull on paper.

It's about finding the right genetics for your herd.

Independent advice, backed by experience

JMC Genetics was established as an independent genetics business, giving farmers access to a broad range of genetics rather than being tied to a single breeding organisation.

Our partnership with Tithebarn adds another layer of experience and infrastructure, while allowing JMC Genetics to maintain its independent approach to genetic selection.
