Details about DDC Horse DNA Profiling Testing

Equine Profiling (Genotyping) is used to establish a secure, permanent ID for your horse in case it is lost or stolen. It can also be used for proof-of-parentage purposes. Using the same technology as parentage testing among equine families, the unique set of allele sizes for the horse are tested and recorded.

DNA profiles also serve as a tool for breeders who need to keep genetic records of their breeding stock (dams and sires) in case a parentage verification of their offspring is ever needed. Many registries keep records of DNA profiles to verify pedigrees.

You collect the DNA samples using hair from the main of an adult horse or hair from the tail of a foal—it’s easy! Click for DIY instructions.

The profile report includes the industry-standard STR-marker panel plus additional markers for an optimized panel of 23 DNA markers. Profiles are reported in the standard letter code. Each DNA marker has two (2) allele sizes: one is inherited from the dam and one from the sire. These DNA markers do not provide information about inherited traits or diseases.

DNA results are emailed within 10 business days, once samples are received at the laboratory.
