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.
