A lifetime, forgery-proof DNA fingerprint for every pigeon — making pedigree, parentage and provenance verifiable.
A pigeon DNA ID is built by genotyping multiple highly variable STR (short tandem repeat) microsatellite loci across the pigeon genome, producing a DNA fingerprint that is unique to each individual bird. That fingerprint is permanent and cannot be forged — a true "genetic identity card".
Combined with parentage analysis, it scientifically confirms the sire/dam/offspring relationship, providing authoritative DNA evidence for breeder certification, pedigree certificates, sale protection and breeding management.
The multi-value of DNA ID and kinship testing
A unique DNA identity record for valuable breeders — prevents substitution, swapping and misrepresentation in the loft and at sale.
Scientifically confirms sire/dam/offspring relationships, ruling out pedigree fraud and protecting breeding value.
Provides authoritative DNA evidence for pedigree certificates and breeder archives, raising transaction credibility.
DNA identity verification at purchase, auction and import reduces transaction risk for buyers and sellers.
A DNA record allows identity comparison and rightful reclamation if a pigeon is lost or stolen.
Precise kinship mapping supports rational pairing and avoids inbreeding depression.
Multiple molecular markers for accurate individual identification and parentage
Internationally used short tandem repeat markers build a DNA fingerprint that is unique to each individual pigeon.
High-density SNP loci assist identification, improving individual discrimination and parentage accuracy.
Sex-chromosome-specific markers determine male/female, resolving the challenge of visually sexing young pigeons.
Collect a feather with an intact root or a blood card.
Extract high-quality genomic DNA.
PCR amplification and genotyping across multiple STR loci.
Build the DNA fingerprint and compare parentage relationships.
Issue a report with the DNA ID number and kinship conclusion.
⚠️ Scope of service: all tests are for racing pigeons and other birds (avian/veterinary use) only. They are not intended for human medical diagnosis.
How is a DNA ID different from a pedigree?
Pedigrees rely on manual records which may contain errors or tampering; a DNA ID is based on objective genotyping data that can be verified against records.
Can kinship testing confirm parent-offspring relationships?
Yes. Each allele in the offspring must trace to the parents' genotypes; multiple STR markers jointly support or exclude parentage.
How long does a report take?
7-14 working days after the sample arrives, depending on sample volume and shipping time.
When is this needed?
Breeder verification, auction anti-fraud, pedigree disputes, and lifelong identity archiving.
Scientifically verify kinship and protect bloodline value
