Reduced price for PSSM2 test as of April 1, 2022
Generatio has established a generous subsidy as part of an IAFH research project on PSSM2. The requirement for the discounted test is consent to use the PSSM2 findings in scientific research. Requests for the IAFH testing must be submitted directly to the respective IAFH breeding association, through which billing will also be done.
At the same time, we are pleased to announce that we will reduce the price of the PSSM2 6-variant panel test at generatio to 200 € (excl. VAT) as of April 1, 2022.

Working together to gain knowledge: Generatio and IAFH support horse breeding
There is currently much discussion among horse breeders and owners about the group of hereditary muscle diseases known as PSSM2. The need for more data on the frequency and severity of these mutations in different breed populations is clear. Generatio GmbH – Center for Animal Genetics, the exclusive European patent holder of the EquiSeq PSSM2 variants[MC1] , has therefore established a unique cooperation with the International Association of Future Horse Breeding (IAFH) to test horses of Holstein, Trakehner, Oldenburg, Oldenburg Springpferd, and Westphalian populations.
