Genetic Progress Made Simple: Feed Intake, IVF, and AI Tools for Cattle

We dig into how Vytelle is changing the game in cattle production. Founded in 2015, Vytelle has grown into a global force in genetic improvement , recently being ranked as the #392 fastest-growing tech company in North America by Deloitte. We begin by breaking down the basics of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and why hormone-free IVF offers cattle producers a more natural, lower-stress, and scalable alternative to traditional embryo programs. Through Vytelle ADVANCE , producers can collect eggs weekly—even from pregnant cows—leading to shorter generation intervals and more rapid genetic gain. Next, we explore Vytelle INSIGHT , a powerful AI-powered platform that turns data into genetic decisions. Combined with Vytelle SENSE —their real-time feed intake and in-pen weight tracking system—INSIGHT helps identify the top-performing animals and guides smart, targeted mating decisions. You’ll hear real-world stories from feedlots and seedstock operations using Vytelle to identify elite cattle, boost feed efficiency, and drive profitability. Whether you raise show cattle, run a dairy, or manage a cow-calf operation, Vytelle’s tools deliver practical advantages that make a difference. We also discuss how these technologies are shaping the future of livestock genetics—making it more predictive, efficient, and sustainable . This is an episode for anyone looking to do more with less and take the guesswork out of herd improvement. Want Farm4Profit Merch?
