Animal identity testing from Geneblitz®

The Geneblitz® animal identity testing service offers parentage testing for equine, bovine and canine samples using the proven technologies of PCR* and microsatellite analysis.

Our bovine parentage service Sirecheck™ offers a cost effective option for all breeds of cattle.

SIRECHECK™
Parentage determination in cattle
Has that bull really sired that calf?
There is only one clear way to find out, a Sirecheck™ DNA test?
Using our rapid, accurate and cost effective test we can provide you with solutions for:

  • determination of parentage
  • production and maintenance of lineage
    records for breeding purposes and registration
  • resolution of bovine paternity disputes

If you provide us with a blood, semen or mouth sample (taken by rubbing a brush around the animals mouth) from each of the animals to be tested, we will provide you with a parentage report which indicates their biological relationship. Each sample is processed for only £59.95 ex. VAT.
The mouth sample is taken with a kit we provide and does not require a vet. Turnaround time from receipt of the sample by us to reporting to you is 15 working days.

If we can be of assistance to you, please contact us by e-mail or by using the telephone and fax numbers listed below.

We use Applied Biosystems StockMarks® kits for this purpose.

Applications include:

The equine and bovine StockMarks® tests employ informative sets of microsatellite markers as recommended by the International Society of Animal Genetics (ISAG).

The canine StockMarks® test employs a set of informative microsatellite markers as recommended by the American Kennel Club (AKC).

All assays are accredited to the internationally recognised standard,
BS EN ISO9001:2000. Results are provided to you as a comprehensive written report with supporting documentation where specified.

*PCR assays are performed pursuant to a license agreement with F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd.
