PLEMDAT

What PLEMDAT does

PLEMDAT, s.r.o. was a Czech private limited liability company specializing in the data processing and genetic evaluation of livestock — primarily cattle (Holstein and Czech Spotted breeds) and sheep — serving as the government-designated data processing organization authorized by Českomoravská společnost chovatelů, a.s. (ČMSCH, a.s.). The company's core product is the eSkot web platform, an integrated herd management and breeding value calculation system that ingests milk performance testing data, reproduction reporting, exterior scoring, milking ability, calving difficulty, and meat performance records, then publishes breeding values (PH) for cattle and sheep. The technology stack is a specialized agricultural data processing system rather than a modern software-as-a-service platform; calculation methodologies are grounded in classical quantitative genetics with joint international evaluations for Czech Spotted cattle run in coordination with Germany, Austria, and Slovakia. The product portfolio includes eSkotReporting, Bullselector (ČESTR) for Czech Spotted cattle, the new Mating C web application, Complex Cow and Calf Lists, the Central Bull Registry (Ústřední registr býků), and sheep breeding value files for 15+ breeds.

The business model operated as a subscription-recurring data processing service delivered to authorized breeding organizations (oprávněné organizace) designated by ČMSCH, a.s. and directly to registered Czech cattle and sheep breeders, with services accessed through the eSkot web application and downloadable CSV/ZIP data files. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through the parent cooperative structure rather than open-market sales. GTM motion was sales-led through the parent channel, with services gated by authorization and breeder registration in the central registry. The company held approximately 20 staff across programming, database, operations, and finance functions at its Hradištko headquarters and was ICAR-affiliated, signaling institutional credibility for international pedigree and breeding standards.

On January 1, 2025, PLEMDAT, s.r.o. was merged by absorption into its parent ČMSCH, a.s. and became an internal department (odbor PLEMDAT) within the successor's organizational structure, with all employees, contracts, and liabilities transferred. Post-merger, PLEMDAT continues to operate the eSkot platform and release product updates — most recently adding BEF (Befruchtungswert / insemination success rate) breeding values and launching the Mating C web application — but no longer exists as a separate legal entity. The company carries GDPR compliance documentation for breeder data, holds no disclosed patents or trademarks, and has no disclosed external funding or investment history.

Broad incumbents

• Zoetis Genetics: Animal health and genetics division of Zoetis offering genomic testing and genetic evaluation services for cattle and other species globally. Comparable to PLEMDAT in genetic evaluation services but as part of a much broader animal health portfolio.
• Masterrind: German AI cooperative providing cattle genetics and breeding services. Comparable to PLEMDAT's cattle breeding value work but extends into AI stud services, semen distribution, and broader dairy genetics advisory across Germany.
• VikingGenetics: Nordic cattle genetics cooperative providing AI, genomic evaluation, and breeding values across Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Comparable to PLEMDAT in genetic evaluation methodology and dairy focus, but operates across multiple countries and breeds with a broader commercial scope.
• CRV: Dutch-Flemish cattle breeding cooperative offering AI, herd management software (CRV UniSort/Insight), and genetic evaluation services across Europe. Overlaps with PLEMDAT through cattle genetics and dairy data services but operates as a much broader incumbent across multiple countries and breeds.

Direct peers

• vit (Vereinigte Informationssysteme Tierhaltung w.V.): Germany's central data center for AI and breeding value calculations across dairy and beef cattle. Operates a near-identical role to PLEMDAT for the German market, with whom PLEMDAT jointly calculates Czech Spotted cattle breeding values — a direct functional peer in national livestock data processing.
• DataGene: Australian dairy herd improvement organization responsible for national genetic evaluation, herd recording, and breeding value publication. Closely mirrors PLEMDAT's role of calculating and publishing national dairy cattle breeding values and serving as the central data processor for breeders.
• Lactanet: Canadian dairy cattle genetics and milk recording organization providing national genetic evaluations, herd management data, and breeding value services. Operates the same integrated milk-recording-plus-genetic-evaluation model as PLEMDAT for Canadian dairy farmers.
• Dairy Records Management Systems (DRMS): US-based dairy herd processing center providing milk recording, breeding value calculations, and herd management data to dairy producers. Operates the same milk-recording-plus-genetic-evaluation service model as PLEMDAT for the US dairy sector.

Others

• Interbull Centre: International body coordinating across-country genetic evaluations of dairy cattle, hosted by SLU in Sweden. PLEMDAT integrates with Interbull for Czech cattle evaluations, making Interbull an enabling infrastructure peer rather than a direct competitor.
• ICAR (International Committee for Animal Recording): International standards-setting body for animal identification, recording, and genetic evaluation. PLEMDAT displays the ICAR accreditation mark, and ICAR defines the protocols PLEMDAT follows — making it an enabling peer/standards authority rather than a competitor.
