Learn About the ADGA Genetics Tool
One of the most amazing things about ADGA registration is the
ADGA
Genetics website and tools! Unfortunately, a lot of new people don't
learn that it exists for many years!
Here you can lookup ANY
ADGA registered goat and get a clickable pedigree with linking
information about each goat about so many other hings (see left hand menu
options below)
The ADGA Genetics website is separate from the regular ADGA site you may have visited.
The web address for the ADGA Genetics site is
https://www.adgagenetics.org
The basics are go to the site and type in a goats name, or what
their name starts with and hit enter and you'll get a list of goats
that match, click on a goat in the list and you'll get their entire
clickable pedigree. On the left hand menu pane for each goat you
click on, there are links for their progeny, their linear appraisal
history (if any), their CDCB data (milk records - if any) and their
production/type evaluations (if any). This is a POWERFUL tool to
help you learn more about lines you may have or may be interested
in.
You can also use the menu options that are across the top of
the website to use other tools within the ADGA Genetics site, like
their planned pedigree tool which is great for helping you determine
inbreeding percentages for planned breedings. You can also analyze
many different types of data with the various tools.
Here is
a guide to help you learn more about using the site and all its
various tools:
