Submitting DNA Samples
|
| |
In order to make the DNA testing process as efficient as possible and to ensure results are received in a timely manner, it is suggested that all DNA orders for registered animals are made on the AGA Online Registry System. Once an order is submitted, a copy of the order form must be sent with the sample directly to Geneseek at 4131 N. 48th St., Lincoln, NE 68504. If a physical DNA sample is not received at the lab after six weeks of the original DNA order date the order will be cancelled. If an order is cancelled, the producer must then re-submit the DNA order through the AGA Online Registry System.
It is encouraged that members are diligent about sending in DNA samples in a timely manner after order submission. If you have questions about this policy or about DNA testing, please contact Kelli Retallick or Dolores Gravely at 303-465-2333.
