Submitting DNA Orders
|
| |
When ordering DNA tests on registered animals please remember the following to ensure the order gets placed correctly through the AGA and the results are returned in a timely manner:
Please place all DNA testing orders through the AGA registry system. Only commercial DNA testing should be ordered using the Commercial DNA Testing Form. If you are not on the AGA online registry please contact the AGA office to place your DNA order.
When ordering DNA online, after all information has been entered, click "Place Order". If this is not clicked, the order will not be placed. Next, click "view/print" and print the form which should then be sent with the sample(s) directly to Geneseek at 4131 N. 48th Street, Lincoln, NE 68504.
If you have questions about DNA testing or how to order please contact Dolores Gravley at 303-465-2333 or email doloresg@gelbvieh.org. You may also view the video or written guide below for step-by-step instructions on how to order DNA testing.
