Equine DNA Test

Equine DNA test analyzes the genotypes of microsatellite markers (MS markers) present in horse chromosomes
to identify horse individuals and pedigree.

    Principles of Test

DNA is a genetic substance that carries genetic information. All horses inherit DNA from the bred stallion and mare, and have DNA genotype, which is a unique genetic pattern that differentiates them from other horses. Equine DNA test identifies the DNA identity by examining whether the DNA genotypes match each other through genotype analysis in horse samples. Equine DNA test is a biological offspring test that uses genetic characteristics to determine whether the genotypes of the stallion and the mare that are bred match the genotypes of the offspring that was born. Dow Gene DNA Testing Company analyzes and identifies 17 loci recommended by the International Foundation for Animal Genetics (ISAG).

    Test Results

DNA analysis of horse samples proves to be of the same object if all genotypes match in all loci tested. However, if one or more genes show discrepancies, it indicates that they belong to different individuals.

    Application of Test
  • When proof of pedigree relationship is required
  • When it is necessary to submit a proof document for biological offspring identification, etc. to the relevant institution
  • When biological offspring identification is required to clarify the pedigree
