Genetic lab for DNA analysis of animals
The main activity of the laboratory of genetics is DNA analysis of animals.
The aim of the work of the laboratory is to provide all customers with objective and independent testing samples and protect information, one of the primary objectives is to ensure precision testing according to international standards using appropriate and modern methods in the tests.
Our long experience guarantee your satisfaction. We are here for you since 1993.
Tests are carried out in accordance with the requirements of EN ISO / IEC 17025: 2017
To increase our expertise we have since 1995 a member of ISAG (International Society of Animal Genetics), where as active members participate in comparative tests that are placed in the group of the world’s best laboratories.
Laboratory have since 2010 on the basis of demonstrated results of accreditation for testing parenthood international organization ICAR (International Committee for Animal Recording).
Laboratory of Genetics Nitra is part of the Breeding Services s.e. and organizationally falls under the Targeted breeding facility.

- Determining gender
- Determination of the LDHA, DRD4a, DRD4b gene – non-accredited test.
Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is an enzyme found in the muscle of birds and plays an important role in energy metabolism. It is responsible for the conversion of pyruvate (an energy storage source) to lactate, which occurs during high physical stress on the muscles and oxygen deprivation. Thus, LDHA affects muscle performance, aerobic capacity and muscle recovery. The LDHA gene exists in three possible genotypes: AA, AB and BB. Initial scientific studies indicate a statistically significant effect of the AA genotype on performance in flights up to 400km. Differences in performance have also been found between homing pigeons with AB and BB genotypes, with better sporting performance being achieved by pigeons with the AB genotype (up to 400km, also over 500km).
The gene encoding the dopamine receptor DRD4 regulates neurological processes and influences human character traits such as restlessness, the urge to explore and creativity. In the case of pigeons, its influence on the relationship between the pigeon’s character traits and its sporting performance, particularly speed and range at intermediate distances, is being considered. Two point mutations of this gene are being investigated: DRD4-a and DRD4-b. Initial studies show a positive effect of the TT genotype of DRD4-a on flights over 500km and a positive effect of the CT genotype of DRD4-b on flights up to 400km. As both mutations affect each other, a combined genotype needs to be determined, with the best results being achieved by pigeons with the CTCT genotype and the worst by those with the CCCC genotype.
