ZeeWeeTM III Bird DNA Sex Test is an on-site DNA sexing test for fowl, including geese, ducks, quail, turkeys, peacocks, and pigeons. Get accurate sex determination results in just hours, without the need to ship samples to an external lab!
Sample collection is easy: DNA is extracted from dried blood spots and feather follicle samples. Result interpretation is clear: two bands indicate a female, one band a male.
This is a gelPCRTM test, based on PCR and DNA gel electrophoresis. For more information on gelPCRTM tests and the required equipment click here.
