      • 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…

      • $90.00
      • Phenotype Description: Dermal hyperpigmentation or Fibromelanosis (FM) is a skin pigmentation phenotype observed in chickens. Unlike other pigmentation variants that affect feather color and patterning, FM primarily influences the dermal layer of skin and internal connective tissue. Silkie Chicken: The Silkie chicken is a well-studied breed that commonly displays the FM phenotype. This breed serves as a model for understanding…
