EasyDNA Launches Comprehensive Horse Breed Composition DNA Test
EasyDNA, a leading provider of genetic testing services, has announced the launch of its new Horse Breed Composition DNA Test, an advanced solution designed to provide horse owners, breeders and buyers with deeper insight into a horse’s genetic heritage.
The test analyses equine DNA to identify breed composition and genetic similarities, delivering a detailed understanding of ancestral background. It is particularly valuable for horses with unknown, mixed or incomplete pedigrees, offering greater clarity where traditional pedigree records may be unavailable or limited.
Using sophisticated genetic analysis, the Horse Breed Composition DNA Test provides a percentage breakdown of breed ancestry, together with a breed similarity assessment that identifies the breeds most closely aligned to the horse’s genetic profile. This information can support breeding decisions, pre purchase evaluations, pedigree verification, and a better understanding of potential physical traits and performance characteristics.
To further enhance its equine genomic offering, EasyDNA also offers a Horse Inbreeding and Genetic Identity Test. This complementary analysis measures genomic inbreeding through Runs of Homozygosity ROH, calculates a DNA based Genomic Inbreeding Coefficient GIC, and assesses overall genetic diversity. The test also establishes a permanent SNP based genetic identity profile, providing breeders and owners with valuable data for responsible breeding strategies, genetic management and lifetime identification.
Suitable for a broad range of horses, including warmbloods, sport horses, ponies, draft horses and mixed breeds, these tests offer a practical and reliable tool for both equine professionals and owners.
“EasyDNA remains committed to expanding and strengthening its portfolio of animal DNA testing services,” said a company spokesperson. “The launch of our Horse Breed Composition DNA Test represents an important step in the continued development of our equine genetics testing offering. We are already working on additional horse specific genetic tests, which will further support horse owners, breeders and equine professionals with the advanced insights they need.”
Sample collection is straightforward and non invasive, requiring only a small hair sample that can be collected at home without veterinary assistance.
With the launch of these innovative equine DNA solutions, EasyDNA is looking to expand its portfolio of advanced genetic services for the international equestrian market.
