Our Laboratory is now offering the very latest in DNA technology for parentage
verification in Cattle, Sheep, Horses and Dogs and is now recognised globally as the leading

laboratory in Ireland and Britain in animal identification.
As a consequence of the wide range of data now accumulated on our database the
laboratory is establishing the potential for a national traceability programme in cattle

identification which is a major development in the livestock industry.
The laboratory is now offering a Genotyping service with our customised IDB chip, 54K and 770K

(HD) Bovine Chip adding a new dimension of Genomic enhancement to EBI values and the
opportunity in the investigation of Genome wide association studies and the detection of carrier

status for cattle traits such as Polledness, Myostatin, BLAD,CVM, TH and many more genetic
screening tests.

Our laboratory has been selected to screen for Beta casein A1 & A2 in Irish and UK Dairy Herds.
