| DNA Sex Testing
DNA sexing from blood, feather or eggshell is the safest way to determine the sex of your bird from any age. Up to the minute state of the art methods are used to give an accuracy rate of greater than 99.99%.
DNA sexing has become the preferred method for identifying the sex of monomorphic birds (male and females having no external differences). DNA sexing can be performed with blood, feather or eggshell samples.

Blood Cards
Avian Biotech employs a card blood collection system for DNA sexing. The small card supplied free can be used to safely collect blood samples. No messy capillary tips, collection tubes and labels. Simply remove the card from the plastic bag and fill out the information on the card. Then fill the circle on the card with a drop or two of blood collected from your bird. Let the card dry and the sample is ready to be mailed. |

Feather samples
With recent advances in DNA technology, we can now extract the necessary DNA to be able to determine sex from just a few plucked feathers. Both blood and feather samples are equally reliable and provide the same level of testing accuracy. DNA is DNA no matter where it is extracted from. The method you choose depends on your preference. |
