MateSel doesn’t just help you select sires and dams — it gives insight into long-term herd direction. 

The Progeny Index 

The Progeny Index reflects the average genetic merit of the next generation based on your mating decisions. 

MateSel’s analysis considers multiple objectives simultaneously: 

• Trait improvement (e.g., Carcase Weight, Days to Calving, IMF) 

• Avoidance of genetic conditions 

• Minimisation of inbreeding 

• Logistical constraints (e.g., mob structure)
