A PCR-based DNA sexing test for birds, requiring feather samples with pulp for accurate genetic identification of sex.
The Sexing PCR Test is a reliable and non-invasive DNA-based method used to accurately determine the sex of birds across all species. This test uses advanced Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to analyse genetic markers, providing a fast and precise alternative to surgical or visual sexing methods.
Sample Requirements:
A feather pluck from the chest area containing visible pulp (minimum of 4 feathers recommended).
If you’re unsure about collecting suitable samples, the procedure should be performed by a qualified veterinarian.
If insufficient pulp is provided, additional feathers may be required.
Turnaround Time: Standard laboratory processing (typically within 7 working days).
An essential test for breeders, avian vets, and bird owners, offering a safe, accurate, and scientific way to confirm your bird’s sex with confidence.
