Lincoln, Neb., July 2, 2025 — Neogen Corporation and Semex announced today their partnership to deliver Semex’s Immunity Technology as part of Neogen’s Igenity® Select genomic test for dairy producers. This partnership adds value to the genomic test, resulting in healthier herds, reduced antibiotic use, increased profitability, and a stronger dairy industry.
Immunity Technology has a well-established reputation for helping producers select genetics that will improve the health of their dairy herds. With this licensing agreement, Igenity Select users will join Semex Elevate clients in being able to utilize Immunity to drive important breeding and selection decisions for healthier Holstein cattle.
