What is ADGA Plus?

ADGA Plus is not a separate ADGA Membership type, it is a group of premium Performance Program services in addition to annual membership that are bundled into one lower rate. The bundled services include DHIR, Linear Appraisal and DNA Marker Testing.  You can also sign up if LA is not offered in your area.  Current ADGA Membership is a prerequisite participating in ADGA Plus.

ADGA Plus Benefits

ADGA Plus Includes:

• 3 prepaid DNA marker tests through VGL at a reduced rate (when you are ready to test, it is your choice of animals but you will need to let the office know which animals you want to use).
• Discount on other genetic testing services 
• Acknowledgement of enrollment on the ADGA website with Herd Name, State, Membership and Breeds
• Email receipt of ADGA Plus Logo PNG with transparent background for website and social media use $15 savings on DHIR + Linear Appraisal (even if Linear Appraisal is not completed due to ADGA scheduling restrictions. If you are not appraised due to restrictions, the $45 fee will be reimbursed by the end of 2025)
• 2025 will not include free subscription reports, a previous benefit. These will be added back in the future when programming allows.

2025 Fees

The enrollment timeline for members will coincide with DHIR Renewal and Linear Appraisal Applications. Select the ADGA Plus box on the DHIR form. See AGDA Performance Program Fee charts below for example prices.

DNA tests must be used during the participating year as they are not carried over to the following year, so the request must be made by December 31st.    You will need to let us know which three animals you want to test when you are ready.   When available again, you will be signed up for subscription reports free of charge, and will be noted as an ADGA Plus herd in ADGA materials. The ADGA PLUS logo in the Member Services area is able to be used on your website and advertising materials.
