Learn about one of the tests we do: Tobiano The tobiano pattern is often referred to as pinto, piebald (black and white) or skewbald (other colours and white). The tobiano gene produces white patches with pink skin - usually large, smooth-edged patches - on a different base coat colour. Genetic testing for tobiano can tell you whether your horse has one copy of the tobiano gene or two (visual.
In 2018, Racing Australia established the Equine Genetics Research Centre in Scone NSW, within one of Australia's premier Thoroughbred breeding districts. We offer a range of services including DNA Profiling and Parentage Testing, Genetics Diagnostics Testing to identify carriers of genetic disorders, and Coat Colour and Pattern Testing. Equine Genetics Research Centre - (Racing Australia) offers DNA testing for the extention gene effecting the Red / Black base coat color of a horse.
The genetic test verifies the base coat color and presents results as one of the following. HHSA is now offering various genetic and colour tests for HHSA members and their registered horses. The best part is you don't have to collect any more hair samples - in most cases, the lab can use the DNA on file from foal/horse registration.
Common tests offered: FFS1 - Fragile Foal Syndrome PSSM1 Colour tests []. Coat Colour and Pattern Testing Coat Colour and Pattern Testing We offer a range of tests designed to detect the genetic mutations that are responsible for certain coat colours and / or patterns. Knowing the genetic status of your horse can be helpful if breeding a particular colour or pattern is a goal.
Horses with an 'e e' genotype cannot produce black pigment in their coat. The agouti and red/black gene work together to create the basic horse coat colours: chestnut, bay or brown, and black. Have a play with the calculator to see what we mean.
For the agouti gene an uppercase A represents black pigment being restricted to the mane, tail and. The Australian Stud Book records the official bloodlines for all Thoroughbreds born and raced in Australia. As part of the acquisition of the Stud Book, Racing Australia decided to bring all its operations under their own banner, and thus, the Equine Genetics Research Centre was born.
You can get different tests for each animal if you want. You will be emailed an individualised sample ID sheet for every animal you are testing. Pay for your testing.
We accept credit card payments via VISA and Mastercard, PayPal, bank transfers and cheques. Take samples Wash or use wipes to clean your hands before every animal! Genetic Diagnostic Testing Disease Testing We offer testing for established genetic mutations that cause, or are associated with, disorders in many breeds of horse. Testing can confirm whether your horse is afflicted with a genetic disorder.
You may not be able tell your horses base coat colour if your horse is grey, double dilute, or has a white spotting pattern covering much of its coat. In that case, you would order both tests.
