KSITEST is a biotechnology startup founded in 2015 in Russia, specializing in providing online genomic selection solutions for dairy cattle farmers. The company has developed a comprehensive suite of tools and services that cover all genomic selection processes, from genotyping to herd analytics and breeder’s strategy development. KSITEST has established itself as a key player in the industry by building the first and largest genomic reference database in the CIS, currently exceeding 20k genomes and 400k cows and bulls with phenotypes.
With a focus on continuous innovation, the R&D team at KSITEST has developed genomic evaluations for nine traits, with ongoing expansion. Additionally, the company has created an economic selection index to factor in local prices and economic conditions, enhancing the value proposition for its clients. The recent $20.00K Series A investment from KamaFlow Business Launcher in May 2023 validates the market recognition and potential of KSITEST's offerings.
Through its online tools, KSITEST empowers farmers to automate the ranking of animals across their herds, facilitate optimal selection for embryo transfer, expedite the formation of culling lists, and identify ideal sire matches for enhanced genetic progress. What initially began as a single genomic value for milk yield ranking has evolved into a comprehensive genomic herd management service within a span of 3 years. The company's dedication to leveraging genomic data for actionable insights positions it as a promising investment prospect in the biotechnology sector.
