      • Blue Egg Gene with eggshell sample

      • $30.00
      • Commonly Brown and white are the two major eggshell colors in chickens. Protoporphyrin-IX, biliverdin, and biliverdin zinc chelate are the main pigments of the eggshell and several blue egg laying breeds have been reported worldwide. The Araucana, an indigenous breed from Chile, was the first chicken breed described to lay blue eggs, and has been frequently used in genetic studies…

      • Recessive White Gene (c) in Chickens with blood sample

      • $50.00
      • In chickens, three mutant alleles have been reported at the C locus, including the albino mutation, and the recessive white mutation, which is characterized by white plumage and pigmented eyes. Our test identifies the structural rearrangement in the tyrosine gene associated with the recessive white mutation. Our test will bear these three possible outcomes C/C Homozygous colored chickens c/C Heterozygous…

      • Lavender test with blood sample

      • $55.00
      • Lavender (LAV*L) is an autosomal recessive mutation of the chicken (Gallus gallus) affecting the neural crest derived melanocyte. It causes the dilution of both eumelanin and phaeomelanin to a light grey or buff, respectively. Our PCR-RFLP test will indicate if the lavender gene is present in a chicken. Thus, the possible results are: LAV*N/LAV*N (Normal/Normal, non-lavender carrier) LAV*N/LAV*L (Normal/Lavender, heterozygous…

      • Fibromelanosis in Chickens

      • $90.00
      • This test is designed to determine the presence and number of copies of the FM allele associated with dermal hyperpigmentation or Fibromelanosis (FM) in chickens. FM is a unique pigmentation phenotype, primarily seen in the Silkie, Svarthöna, and Ayam Cemani chicken breeds, where it causes extensive black pigmentation of the skin and internal tissues. This pigmentation results from an inverted…
