DNA analysis

Do you want to determine the parentage of the promising doelings you’re raising or the exceptional yearling that’s outperforming the rest? Parentage analysis makes it simple and efficient! Easily collect DNA samples with biopsy ear tags or a simple hair sample. We’ll take care of the rest!

Parentage analysis through DNA analysis provides valuable insights into your breeding program. Here are the benefits of parentage analysis:

• Prevents inbreeding.
• Insight into the quality of your own bucks (offspring performance and fertility).
• Insight into the quality of your own does (offspring production).
• Reliable breeding values by ensuring accurate parentage information.
• Enhances your market position when selling bucks, does, and kids.

Interested in DNA analysis with biopsy ear tags?

GIC provides high-quality ear tags that collect a DNA sample during tagging. This method ensures a fast, efficient, and error-free sampling process. The ear tag and the attached vial for collecting ear tissue are numbered identically, preventing mix-ups and simplifying administration.

Once you send the DNA vials back to GIC, our team will email you the results of the DNA analysis within a few weeks.

Interested in DNA analysis with hair samples?

GIC supplies the necessary bags for sending hair samples. You can collect the hairs yourself (do not cut them!). It is important to pull the hairs with the roots intact.

Once you send the bags with the hair sample back to GIC, our team will email you the results of the DNA analysis within a few weeks.
