This June 2012 indexation will take on a new dimension with the practical application of genomics and the arrival of sexed semen in its range. P. 6-7
In its new range, SERSIA is offering a total of 10 genomic bulls with the most attractive pedigrees. To meet the growing demand for sexed semen, SERSIA is launching FESTIVAL in its range, which will be frequently renewed. More generally, the June indexation brings good news for the bulls that have been widely used:

> ASTERIX remains at a very high level; his daughters on their 2nd lactation are progressing well in terms of production and levels. > VOLTAIRE has made good progress in terms of ISU (+9) and milk with his daughters in 2nd and 3rd lactation. The indexation has revealed two interesting new bulls to renew the range of well-established bulls:

As a result of a unique European tracking table, over 10,000 tracking initiatives have been carried out in recent years to provide even greater accuracy. 7 new headings have been added to the table that had not previously been indexed. Chouette (daughter of ASTERIX) - Gaec Chevallier-Jacoillot (44)
