Every beef and sheep index in use today applies one set of economic weights to every producer. The MGT Platform calculates the weights from the ground up — for your country, your costs, and the market you sell into.
Most established selection indexes — all use fixed economic weights derived from a single enterprise model. A producer on 300mm country selling light weaners should not rank bulls the same way as one on 700mm country finishing heavy steers. Current systems treat every enterprise identically.
Index weights are reviewed every 3–5 years. Between reviews they ignore what the EYCI, ESTLI, or grain market is actually doing.
Traditional indexes assume traits contribute to profit linearly and independently. Mature cow weight, fertility, and feed availability interact in ways linear algebra cannot capture.
Genotype-by-environment interaction is well documented in the literature. No commercial index actually adjusts expected genetic expression for the producer's environment.
A high-growth genotype is only valuable if the feed base supports it. Existing indexes score genetics as if feed is unlimited.
The MGT Dynamic Index Engine fuses five data streams that have never been integrated in one selection system. An AI layer models non-linear trait interactions and produces plain-English explanations for every ranking.
Location, rainfall, pasture, target market, full DSE cost structure.
BREEDPLAN, Sheep Genetics, Zoetis Inherit Select, IGS — mapped across systems.
MLA indicators: EYCI, ESTLI, Heavy Steer, Feeder, Trade Lamb, Restocker.
Satellite biomass, supplementary feed, seasonal feed availability curves.
800+ rows of peer-reviewed data: heritabilities, correlations, GxE, heterosis.
The platform's parameter library is drawn from peer-reviewed Australian and international research — Burrow 2012, Barwick et al. 2009, and the Sheep Genetics and BREEDPLAN parameter sets. Every ranking is explainable, every weight is auditable.
Import a sale catalogue. The platform calculates the economic weights from your farm profile and current market, then returns a ranking in $/cow/year specific to your enterprise — with a plain-English explanation for every position.
