Racing Pigeon Performance DNA Test of 8 Locis for Racing Strategy and Breeding

Details of Racing Pigeon Performance DNA Test

• We highly recommend you contact us before any racing pigeon tests.
• Prepare your pigeon samples according to the instructions below.
• Send the samples to our laboratory through any express service that has services in China.
• Testing will take approximately 2-3 working days.
• We will email you a report based on the samples.
• Feel free to contact us anytime—we provide comprehensive technical support.

Instruction on Sampling

• Wear protective gear: Put on latex gloves.
• Disinfection: Spray both hands with disinfectant alcohol for complete disinfection. Allow the alcohol to dry.
• Labeling: Use a marker to label the clean self-sealing bag with the pigeon’s information (e.g., owner’s name, leg band number).
• Feather Collection: Select slightly thicker feathers from the pigeon’s tail (avoiding tail feathers) or the chest and abdomen. Quickly pluck a small bunch (preferably 5–6 or more feathers). Place the feathers into the clean self-sealing bag.

          ( Please DO NOT collect naturally fallen feathers, feathers with minimal shafts, or down feathers for submission.)

• Handling: Avoid touching the feather shafts. Do not collect naturally fallen feathers, feathers with minimal shafts, or down feathers.
• Bag Handling: Seal the self-sealing bag.
• Sanitization: Use disinfectant alcohol to thoroughly sanitize your hands.
• Repeat: Proceed to pluck feathers from the next bird.

After we receive the sample, we will take a photo or video to confirm the sample with you.

Introduction of The Racing Pigeon Performance DNA Test

• This test is a fluorescent PCR detection targeting 8 genetic loci in racing pigeons.
• These 8 genetic loci determine the pigeon’s innate flight ability.
• By conducting DNA testing on the pigeon’s flight ability, you can understand its strengths and weaknesses.
• This test can provide a scientific basis for how to arrange the racing, training, and breeding of your pigeons.
• The test is simple, quick, and highly accurate.
• According to our feedback, the average win rate of pigeons selected after testing can be increased by approximately 5%.

Important Note:

Many unpredictable factors may affect the performance of racing pigeons. Our test only provides a reference at the genetic level.

Racing Pigeon Performance DNA Test – Indicators and Principles

We analyze eight key genetic markers in racing pigeons to evaluate their racing performance and provide a genetic basis for breeding superior pigeons.
