Q: How do we collect DNA for your horse's genetic testing?

A: With a non-invasive hair sample, pulled from the tail. We ask for around 40 hairs pulled with the root intact. Then ship that back to us with our genetic testing kit. It's that easy!

Anyone with a horse can benefit from microbiome testing. Whether your horse is an elite athlete or a family pet, your horse's digestive system is a crucial part of its health.

#Microbiome testing will help you determine if your horse's gut is in balance for a healthy life.

Don't wait till it's too late!

To get the best understanding of your horse's gut health and nutritional absorption, we suggest #microbiome testing when your horse is in good health. This helps set a baseline for your horse's gut bacteria.

C. difficile is 1 of 1000s of microbes in humans and horses. If overpopulated, the bacterial toxins they produce can cause debilitating colitis.

It can spread through contaminated barns & waterways.

#Microbiometesting tests for a healthy # of this bacteria in your horse's gut.

Roaring is known to reduce athletic performance in TBs and other horse breeds.

While the precise genetic cause of roaring isn't clear yet, there are known #genetic risk factors.

Consider testing with us for these risk factors before breeding, purchasing, or training.

Equine Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy (RLN) is a neurological disease of the upper resp. tract that causes paralysis of the larynx and disrupts airflow during exercise.

Referred to as 'roaring,' horses with this will often heave, gasp, whistle, or 'roar' when exercising.

What's something you can learn from #microbiome testing?

With thousands of microbes in your horse's gut, it's important to understand if they are in balance. ⚖️

When out of balance, certain #microbes can create many issues for digestion, skin, performance, and more.

Many of our horses spend a lot of time inside for safety and space reasons. However, horses' digestive systems benefit from diversity sometimes lacking in our domestic environments.

Our #microbiome testing helps you see if your horse is getting enough nutritional variation.
