Since 1 May, software company ZooEasy is part of VHLGenetics in Wageningen. ZooEasy offers a software solution that allows hundreds of breed associations, studbooks and breeders worldwide to easily maintain their pedigree and breeding administration. VHLGenetics (also known as Dr. Van Haeringen Laboratorium) carries out genetic research for many of these associations and their members under the label CombiBreed. Based on this research, they gain insight into the pedigree and health of their animals.
By joining forces, ZooEasy and VHLGenetics can serve their customers even better. Erik Reudink, owner of ZooEasy: “I started ZooEasy in 1993. In the years that followed, ZooEasy has grown into a widely used software tool, both in the Netherlands and in many other countries. For example, we have a large number of pedigree dog associations as customers. In addition, we serve many associations with other animal species such as cats, cattle, sheep and goats. Through the collaboration with VHLGenetics, we are able to offer our existing customers continuity and invest in new software. Furthermore, VHLGenetics extensive customer base enables us to attract more clients both domestically and internationally.”
Bert de Lange, director of VHLGenetics: “Animal health is a top priority for our customers. As a result, there is a growing demand for insight into the genetic health and well-being of their animals through DNA testing. VHLGenetics meets this need with its CombiBreed testing services. Through ZooEasy, we can help associations and breeders to translate this genetic data into both strategic breeding policy and practical applications in the form of DNA-based mating advice.
As a customer, you can continue to contact ZooEasy in the familiar way, and the staff you already know will be there to answer your questions or address your comments.
