TH & PHA testing

[CAB]

Is there a minimum age requirement to pull blood for testing? I wouldn't think so, but I think I can remember hearing of one.

I don't think there is a minimum age requirement. I sent blood samples from some 2-3 day old ET calves and they processed them.

Thanks Grant. Brent

No - if the mutation is there it doesn't change with age. If the mutation is not there it doesn't change with age either -

 

[CAB]

No - if the mutation is there it doesn't change with age. If the mutation is not there it doesn't change with age either -

For some reason, I thought that I had read somewhere that the calves needed to be 30 days old, which did not make any sense to me, but thanks DL. Brent

How long does it usually take to get the results from agrigenomics(? spelling)? Sent a sample in on a three week old Tycoon about a week ago, and haven't heard anything.

Thanks

Good idea & I personally have an easier time bleeding a young one.

I have some I need to test, where are good places to have test them??? Also What all is involved to do, just send blood samples?

We have had really good service from AgriGenomics.  We live out in nowhere so I have to drive a ways to get them fed ex'd & usually call them within 48 hrs to make sure they rec'd the samples.  Can usually get verbal results within a week.  Staff is always polite & eager to help.  We have a hard time getting a juglar so we pull from the tail vein.

To maybe save someone else the trouble down the line, if you are planning on registering that calf with the Maine association, keep your case number handy because that is how they reference the samples.

Agri Genomics has a web site that you can read & download forms from to send along with the blood. You do need the test tubes with the purple tops to put the blood samples into & send.
