The health of your animals is our top priority. Whether you are an animal owner, veterinarian, breeder, or breeding organization, you can benefit from the results of genetic testing.
Our strengths
- Over 20 years experience in animal genetics with our in-house laboratories. Our talented technicians and biologists include those with doctorates in genetics and veterinary medicine.
- Highest quality standards: Disease and trait testing and parentage analysis are run under the highest quality standards. Quality control and management is ensured through internal QC testing as well as by regular participation in ISAG comparison tests.
- Exclusive European patent for the PSSM2 test – PSSM2 is the umbrella term for a group of related muscle diseases with similar clinical symptoms. These often include reluctance to move, muscle stiffness, periodic lameness, and possible exercise intolerance.
