Description |
|
The purpose of the parentage testing is to clarify whether supposed parents of a given animal are the true biological parents. In principle, an offspr ing gets 50% of its heritable information from the mother, and 50% from the father. Provided that the maternity is confirmed, all non-maternal markers in the DNA profile of the offspring should have been inherited by the father. If at least one marker in the DNA profile does not match, the paternity can be excluded. The more high-variable markers are examined, the more precisely parentage can be clarified. By the investigation of at least 10 ma rkers, an exceptionally exact test is generated. Cost (Including VAT) : £ 72.00 for each foal and £ 48.00 for the dam and each questionable sire.

Sample Requirements |
Hair or EDTA whole blood (0.5 ml).
For parentage testing, a sample of the animal as well as a sample of the supposed father and mother have to be sent.
If a paternity is to be excluded, additionally blood samples of all the potential fathers should be sent, if possible.
Hair Sample from mane with roots (approx 30 hairs) or 1 ml whole blood in EDTA tube.
How to obtain a viable hair sample
Pull around 30 hairs from the mane of the horse with the roots (in faols hair from the tail maybe taken). Wrap the hairs around your finger or a comb, as close as possible to the skin to ensure you obtain the hair roots. Keep dry, put in a bag, label the bag with the horse name, test (s) required. Place in an envelope and send back to us together with the order form. Broken or cut off hair will not be accepted. |
