Core offering

ANCP is a Brazilian nonprofit breeders' association that delivers standardized genetic evaluation and improvement services for beef cattle breeds. Its core offering centers on the ANCPNet platform providing Expected Progeny Differences (DEPs), genomic evaluations (DEP Genômica), breed-specific improvement programs (Nelore, Guzerá, Brahman, Tabapuã, Senepol, Sindi), MAPA-audited breeding certification (CEIP), carcass ultrasound evaluation, mating optimization (ANCP PAG), and annual bull summary catalogs for cattle breeders across Brazil.

Product overview

ANCP (Associação Nacional de Criadores e Pesquisadores) is a Brazilian nonprofit association focused on genetic improvement of beef cattle. The organization operates a platform-plus-services model centered on ANCPNet, their core web-based platform for herd management and genetic data access. Supporting this platform are specialized services including DEP Genômica (genomic EPD analysis), CEIP (national breeding certification audited by MAPA), and ANCP PAG (mating optimization software). The association manages breed-specific genetic improvement programs for Nelore, Guzerá, Brahman, Tabapuã, Senepol, and Sindi cattle, producing annual bull catalogs (sumários) with expected progeny differences. Additional services include carcass ultrasound evaluation, sexual precocity assessment, programmed reproduction, and expert consulting. The portfolio also includes a mobile app (APP ANCP) and the ANCP-SAM animal management system.

• CRV International: Global dairy and beef genetics company offering AI, genomic evaluation, and herd management software. Comparable as a larger commercial player providing genomic EPDs and breeding software that overlap ANCPNet and DEP Genômica offerings.
• Neogen Corporation: Global animal genomics and food safety testing company. Comparable as a commercial provider of genomic testing and breeding-support services that intersects with ANCP's DEP Genômica and ultrasound evaluation offerings.
• ABS Global (Genus plc): Global cattle genetics provider offering AI, genomic testing, and breeding program services. Comparable as a broader commercial incumbent in cattle genetic evaluation and reproductive services.

Direct peers

• American Hereford Association: U.S. Hereford breed association with comprehensive EPD and genomic evaluation programs. Comparable as a breed association delivering multi-trait genetic evaluations, breeding tools, and breeder resources.
• American Brahman Breeders Association: U.S. Brahman breed registry and genetic evaluation provider. Directly comparable as a breed association running Brahman-specific EPDs and performance programs, overlapping one of ANCP's core breed portfolios.
• Red Angus Association of America: U.S. Red Angus breed association with its own genetic evaluation and member services platform. Comparable business model and product set (EPDs, genomic tests, breeder software) though focused on a different breed.
• American Angus Association: U.S. breed association operating the largest global beef cattle genetic evaluation system. Directly comparable business model (member-driven association, EPD/genomic evaluation, software platforms, sire summaries) even though serving a different breed and geography.
• ABCZ - Associação Brasileira dos Criadores de Zebuínos: Brazilian national zebu breed registry and genetic services organization. Directly comparable as a fellow Associação providing pedigree registration, breed programs, and EPD-style evaluations for zebu breeds that overlap ANCP's portfolio (Nelore, Brahman, Guzerá, Tabapuã).
• ACNB - Associação dos Criadores de Nelore do Brasil: Brazilian Nelore-specific breeders' association. Most direct functional peer given Nelore is ANCP's flagship program; both provide breed-specific programs, selection tools, and breeder services for the same customer segment.
