DNA Testing – Lavender Gene

Price range: $15.00 through $1,300.00

Avian and Waterfowl DNA Testing – Lavender Gene

The Lavender PCR Gene Test for birds is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to detect the presence of the lavender gene, which is responsible for the unique lavender coloration in certain bird species. Ideal for breeders, veterinarians, and bird enthusiasts, this test identifies whether a bird is a carrier, non-carrier, or expresses the lavender trait. With rapid results and high sensitivity, the Lavender PCR Gene Test provides crucial insights into your bird’s genetic makeup, helping you make informed decisions about breeding, care, and color inheritance.

You will get one of two results with this test. Either your bird will not have the Lavender gene, or if they do. You will get a Yes or No on your results page.

We can do this test in Chickens and Geese, and accept a variety of sample types.

You will also have access to a Breeder Account and can add a photo of the bird to the certificate.
