FERAGEN is a leading Austrian diagnostic laboratory specializing in molecular genetic analysis in the field of veterinary medicine, headquartered in Salzburg. The company was founded by Dr. Anja Geretschläger and is today recognized as one of Europe’s leading providers of veterinary genetic diagnostics.
The laboratory combines cutting-edge scientific research with a genuine passion for animals, delivering precise DNA tests for pet owners, breeders, kennel clubs, and veterinarians across Europe.

Objective​

Objective Develop an all-in-one platform to support kennel clubs and breeders in enhancing genetic diversity and health management through informed breeding decisions.

Challenges​​

Data Fragmentation

Existing genetic data was scattered across various systems, making comprehensive assessment difficult and slowing down the entire breeding evaluation process.

Genetic Diversity Loss

Selective breeding practices had resulted in a significant loss of genetic diversity, increasing the prevalence of genetic defects and hereditary diseases across breeds.

Solutions

All-in-One Genetic Data Platform

We developed MyFeragen — a centralized multi-application SaaS platform to manage and access genetic data, health records, and breeding information, simplifying data management and enhancing accessibility across the board.

Breeder Management Tools

Implemented advanced mating tools to streamline breeding management, enabling breeders to assess and select optimal breeding pairs based on detailed genetic profiles.

Comprehensive Genetic Screening

Integrated Dog Check to screen up to 220 breed-specific and common diseases through DNA testing, providing breeders and kennel clubs with essential health insights at every decision point.

Intuitive User Experience

Developed a user-friendly digital interface that decodes complex genetic data into clear, actionable visualizations — empowering breeders with the insights they need, without requiring scientific expertise to interpret them.

Reduction in Hereditary Diseases

With DogCheck screening up to 220 breed-specific and common diseases, breeders now make informed pairing decisions based on real genetic profiles — not guesswork. The result: a measurable reduction in hereditary disease prevalence across participating breeds.

Global Impact

MyFeragen is now an active tool for kennel clubs worldwide, enabling international genetic data sharing at scale — promoting healthier breeding practices and greater genetic diversity across the global dog breeding community.

Enhanced Operational Efficiency

By consolidating fragmented genetic data, health records, and breeding information into a single platform, MyFeragen eliminated the manual overhead that previously slowed Feragen's operations — freeing their team to refocus on core scientific work rather than data management.

Soprex effectively digitized our service, enhancing our user experience and allowing us to refocus resources towards our primary scientific pursuits. They have consistently exceeded our expectations and contributed significantly to our digital growth.
