Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding

The Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) is a non-profit organization that manages the world's largest database for dairy cattle genetics and performance. It provides gold-standard genomic evaluations and health trait predictions that enable dairy producers to improve herd productivity, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability. By integrating phenotypic data from milk recording with genotypic data from DNA testing, CDCB delivers actionable insights for breeding decisions. The organization serves as a critical hub for the dairy industry, collaborating closely with the USDA and international research institutions to advance bovine genomics.
