PRICES LISTED ARE FOR ADCA MEMBERS ONLY.  NON MEMBERS PLEASE CONTACT PAM MALCUIT (mornstarranch@cs.com) FOR PRICING.

If chondro is done in conjunction with dun or red factor, the factor testing will then be $25 per test — if on the same sample that is run for Chondrodysplasia. Please include extra hairs if more than one test is to be run on that sample (50-60 hairs)

In order to register a Dexter as RED, it must be tested (DNA verified) as red unless it is the offspring of a registered red sire and a registered red dam or at least one parent has been tested as a non-carrier of dun.

The ADCA requires that the DNA Genotype of all bulls used for out-of-herd AI be on file in its Registry Office before calves sired by those bulls can be registered.  (While any AI bull whose blood type was on file in the Registry Office prior to January 1, 2003, is exempt from the DNA Genotyping requirement, the person who sells semen from that bull is encouraged to request DNA Genotyping for the sake of future reference or parentage questions.)
