The Essential Pigeon Panel brings together the main DNA tests useful for identification, sexing and selection in racing pigeons. It includes the 17 STR genetic fingerprint to establish an individual DNA profile and verify parentage, DNA sexing to determine the sex of the pigeon, as well as several markers associated with functions related to performance: endurance, behaviour, feather quality and orientation. This panel provides breeders with a comprehensive genetic basis to better manage their colony, secure pedigrees and support breeding decisions, alongside observation, lineage, training and race results.

Included tests:

17-marker DNA profile – BIRD-ID17
DNA sexing
LDHA – Endurance in racing pigeons – BIRD-LDHA
DRD4 – Short-distance performance in racing pigeons – BIRD-DRD4
F-KER – Feather quality and endurance in racing pigeons – BIRD-KERA
CRY1 – Orientation in racing pigeons – BIRD-CRY1
