EquineTest
Results in 3‑4 Weeks
Once your horse’s blood sample is delivered to us, the DNA will first be isolated from it. This DNA is then sequenced. If you’re unfamiliar with the word, remember that sequencing means reading. We will simply read your horse’s entire DNA and then look for important information in it – we will analyze individual markers.
A genetic marker is a specific region in the horse’s genome that is responsible for something. It can be, for example, a mutation in a specific gene, basically a defect, or, on the contrary, information that the given animal is healthy, is or is not a carrier of any mutation, or perhaps a positive performance characteristic.
An indicative list of the markers currently analyzed by us can be found in our sample report or you can request it. If you are interested in a specific marker, specific property, etc., and it is not listed in the report, do not hesitate to write to us too. The advantage of whole-genome sequencing is that we have all the data, only we do not analyze it all for certain reasons, for example because there is no clear scientific consensus regarding the given marker. As you can see, our knowledge is constantly developing and you can help paving the way to knowing more!
The entire process of EquineTest is time-consuming. It does require meticulous attitude and includes not only the own laboratory processing of the sample, but also the bioinformatic analysis of the obtained data and the creation of a report for each sequenced horse that you receive from us. Therefore, typically expect the results within about four weeks after the sample is delivered to our laboratory.

Take charge of your genetic exploration journey by selecting the count of horses to be analyzed and any desired optional extras. Submit your order and expect a prompt response from our team.
Receive a Collection Package
We will deliver a package directly to your doorstep. It contains everything needed for a trouble-free blood sample collection by your veterinarian. After collecting the blood sample, simply send it back to us within 24 hours following the instructions you will also receive from us.
DNA Analysis Unveiled
We will isolate the genomic DNA of your horse from the sent blood sample. In our state-of-the-art laboratory, we will perform a whole genome DNA sequencing revealing the complex genetic information of your beloved horse.
Exclusive Data Delivery to Your Hands
We ensure the utmost privacy and exclusivity as we courier all the invaluable data and meticulously crafted reports directly to your hands. Of course, we remain at your disposal in case of questions!
EquineTest Online Storage
Once a year, if you wish, we will update your horse’s DNA sequencing report to reflect the current knowledge of horse’s markers of interest. Please notice there is a fast development in this field and considering the age and expected lifetime of your horse it may be worth to run this update service regularly. It will allow you to keep up with the latest scientific findings which are carefully monitored and implemented into our reports by our team of specialists.
